After 14-year absence. Vermeil anxious to prove self
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Dick Vermeil
returned to coaching after a 14-
year absence on Tuesday, burning
to prove to the St. Louis Rams and
the NFL that the game hasn’t
passed him by.
Vermeil, 60, was so fired up
during a news conference to
announce his five-year, $9 million
deal as coach and president of
football operations that he spoke
for a half-hour before taking ques
tions from exhausted reporters.
“Ladies and gentlemen, you
can’t imagine how exciting it is
to be here today,’’ said Vermeil,
who nearly broke down twice
during a monologue that was
equal parts inspirational mes
sage and schmaltz. “I have
never been, in my life, more
confident or better prepared.’’
Vermeil made an immediate
impression on two players who
attended the news conference,
defensive end Kevin Carter and
tight end Aaron Laing. Laing said
he was so inspired he wanted to
play right now.
“He got me excited,” Laing said.
“There's definitely an energy about
him, no doubt about that. It's not
the same old mundane speech.”
Players didn’t seem too worried
about his lengthy absence, jeither.
“George Foreman came back,”
was the reasoning of defensive
tackle D’Marco Farr. “You don’t
really lose the fire.”
Vermeil led the Philadelphia
Eagles to their only Super Bowl
berth in 1981. He resigned after the
1982 season complaining of
burnout and has been working as a
college football analyst for CBS-TV
and ABC-TV.
Though he’s been gone from
the sidelines, Vermeil said he’s
learned plenty. A shameless
name-dropper, he mentioned lit
erally dozens of coaches he’s dealt
with during the past 14 years.
“People are going to say
Dick’s a retread, a has-been,
almost a never-was because I
lost the Super Bowl, and possi
bly over the hill,’’ Vermeil said.
“I’ve received a Ph.D. from the
greatest graduate school in pro
fessional football.”

“His approach to (he acade
mics last year was a little bit
sketchy,’’ Barone said. “He wasn’t
as consistent as he needed to be
and this past semester he really
did a good job.”
Jones said he has been focus
ing on the student part of stu
dent-athlete.
‘‘I just sat myself down and
tried to study a little bit more,”
Jones said. "I’m getting better aca
demically. I’m pushing myself,
trying to make myself study.”
Before transferring to A&M,
Jones played in all 27 gamesasa
freshman at Stetson, but said he
wanted to move closer to home.
“I came here because I want
ed to step up in competition and
play closer to home,” Jones said.
As a senior at The Coloav
High School, Jones was a thm
time all-district selection and
was named honorable mention
All-American.
Since arriving at A&M, Jones
has come a long way in a short
time, but the coaches feel that
his best is yet to come.
“I think he’s grown up, he's
maturing,” said Barone. “He’s a
man. He’s taking care of busi
ness. Those are the kinds of
players we like, the kind who
take care of their own business.”

In addition to KU’s frontcourt
tandem of Raef LaFrentz and
Scott Pollard and backcourt
sharpshooters Jerod Haase and
Paul Pierce, one returnee in par
ticular causes the most gray hairs
on the heads of opposing coaches
— point guard Jacque Vaughn.
“They’ve got five starters
back, and any time you go up
against a team that has that kind
of veteran nature, you just have
to go out and enjoy playing the
game,” Barone said. “We’ve got
to stop Vaughn from making all
of their other players better.”
“He’s an awesome point
guard,” adds senior guard Tracy
Anderson, who will draw the
majority of minutes guarding
Vaughn. “To be able to match
up with a guy like him, and
that’s a once in a lifetime thing."
A&M will be looking to stop
a seven-game skid that has
seen the Aggies lose three of
their last four games in the
final seconds. A win over
Kansas would obviously be a
huge step in the right direction.
“If you go in and get a win
against them, that can get your
season rolling in a huny — espe
cially for us because we’ve been
playing in some close games and
haven’t been able to pull them
out,” Anderson said. “I feel if we
go in and play our best, we can
come out with a win.”
The Aggies’ remain confident
they can pull off the upset, but
more than anything else, the
players and coaches are excited
about testing themselves against
the best team in the country.
“It’s not often that you get the
opportunity to go in and play
against a No. 1 team,” freshman
guard Jerald Brown said. "We
see them as another team, not a
No. 1 team. I’ve seen them on
TV a couple of times this year
and I believe they are beatable.
Any team is beatable.”
