I’m not about to tarnish what we did for five years. If I did that, I couldn’t look in the mirror.” Johnson said he still has a lot of respect for Jones despite their feud. T’ve always said he’s the greatest businessman Jones I’ve ever known in my life,” Johnson said. “Jerry was always very good. He always relied on people who had exper tise. We had no problems there.” Jones described his relationship with Johnson as “no relationship.” He said: “We worked together five years. We shared something special for five years, low times and exhilarating times. I have a lot of respect for him and I always have. I hired him because he was smart, energetic, and positive. “I felt we could work togeth er and we did. The facts are life has been good to both of us since Jimmy left.” Said Johnson: “I decided I want ed to part company and move to South Florida. I was pleased then and I’m pleased now.” Jones said all the hype around the game is en joyable. “This game is getting a lot of visibility and I like that,” he said. “But we’re behind the 8-ball at 4-3 and I don’t like that.” Jones added: “I’m glad to have Jimmy back in the NFL. No body likes sizzle and entertainment like I do Johnson and Jimmy brings that to the NFL. Jimmy is a great football coach.” Switzer, who had a 5-3 record against Johnson in college games, said he had no special feelings about meeting Johnson in the professional ranks. “A victory means more to me than who it’s against,” Switzer said. “Jerry and Jimmy aren’t going to be out on the field playing and, thank Sapenter reinstated as Prarie View A&M head coach PRAIRIE VIEW (AP) — Hensley Sapenter Jr. m reinstated as Prairie View A&M’s interim botball coach Tuesday but removed as athlet- c director after a school investigation into his ise of ineligible players.

There was no listed telephone number k Sapenter, and he could not be reached irlhe Associated Press on fuesday. Last month, Sapenter acknowledged us- ; possibly ineligible players because he was short-handed in the offensive line and feared injury to inexperienced players. Prairie View stopped offering atiiletic scholarships in 1989 and has at times struggled to field a team at all. “I knew there were some kids that the compliance officer told me were technical ly ineligible,” Sapenter said. “It was simply a situation where I didn’t have any other kids to play. “Had I not played them, I would have been using kids who could have Lreen in jured. I was not comfortable with that.” The university’s statement said results from the internal investigation had been turned over to SWAC officials. The Panthers lost the TSU game and are 0- 8 this season. Their NCAA-record losing streak stands at 65 games, dating to a victory over Mississippi Valley State on Oct. 28,1989. Sapenter, a Prairie View alumnus hired in 1995, established an alumni fund to provide scholarships in an attempt to turn the pro gram around. Fifteen were offered this season.

The players will either win or lose.” Switzer, whose Oklahoma teams were 5-0 against John son’s Oklahoma State clubs, was 0-3 against Johnson after he moved to Miami. “I had the better talent at Ok lahoma when we played Jimmy and he had the better talent when he moved to Mia mi,” Switzer said. “That’s the way it was. As far as I’m concerned this is just the eighth game on our schedule. It will be two 4-3 teams who are struggling and needing to play well.” Johnson said Switzer had it right. “He had a better hand when I was at Oklahoma State but at Miami we beat him three times for a national title and pretty well resolved that is sue,’’ Johnson said. “I’ve con gratulated him on his Super Bowl victory.” Johnson, who once guaranteed an NFC championship victory over San Francisco and pulled it off, said he wouldn’t try that for Sunday’s game.
