Kragthorpe attributes UNT’s
success to its players.
“I think the key for us at North
Texas in 1994 was we had a great
quarterback in Mitch Maher,"
Kragthorpe said. “He understood
the concepts we were trying to
teach, and we had some receivers
that made plays.
“They gave us a chance to be suc
cessful. If you put the players in a
position to be successful, they go
out and do it."
Ascending in the ranks,
Kragthorpe spent last season as
quarterbacks coach at Boston
College. During the season,
Kragthorpe and the rest of the BC
staff had to mire through a gam
bling scandal that received na
tional media attention.
“Gambling is a popular thing on
the East Coast,” Kragthorpe said.
“Unfortunately, some of our players
got caught up in it. Boston College is
a very affluent school.
“Some of our players got mixed
up with some people and did some
thing they shouldn’t have done. They
were wrong and they got caught.”
Boston College played Notre
Dame on NBC the week the scandal
surfaced. Even though the football
team was flooded by questions con
cerning the scandal, Kragthorpe
said the assistant coaches were shel
tered from the storm.
“It wasn’t as bad for us as assis
tants as many people would think,”
Kragthorpe said. “Dan Henning, the
head coach, did such a great job in
sulating us from all of that. He was
a stand-up guy throughout the
whole process.
“It was a little bit of a distraction.

You’d walk out to your car on Sun
day night and there would be 30
different TV satellite trucks in the
parking lot.”
Kragthorpe said he was fortu
nate to work for such a knowledge
able head coach.
“Working at Boston College, I got
to be around Dan Henning and
learn from him,” Kragthorpe said.
“He’s a guy that had been an NFL
head coach at San Diego and At
lanta. He was a quarterbacks coach
in the NFL for 17 or 18 years.
“I really enjoyed the opportunity
to learn from Dan Henning.”
Unfortunately, a good job is not
always enough.
“For me, it was a great job, and
Boston College was a great place to
work,” Kragthorpe said. “But family-
wise it was very difficult. My wife is a
native Texan, so it was hard for her
living up there.”
The rest is history. Knowing
A&M’s reputation for producing
running backs at an assembly-line
pace, Kragthorpe said he did not
take A&M’s run-oriented offense
into consideration when he chose
the job.
“I think there’s a tremendous op
portunity to pass because we run
the ball so well,” Kragthorpe said.
“Defensively, people are building to
stop the running game, which gives
us the opportunity to make some
plays on the outside.”
As for what the future holds in
store, Kragthorpe said head coach
ing will be a viable option when and
if it presents itself.
“But most importantly, I want to
be at a place where we can win,”
Kragthorpe said. “I could see my
self staying at Texas A&M for 20
years. I can’t think of a better job.
This is a 100-percent job. I’ve got
the best of everything.”
Home sweet home.
Marshall
Continued from Page 7
Stewart, who was blamed for a lot
of the Aggie’s woes last season, has
been working on his fundamentals
this spring.
“Right now, we are trying to build
his confidence and its the same
thing that holds true in our basic phi
losophy," Marshall said. “ What we
do for the quarterback is what we do
for the left guard. We want to keep it
simple as possible but have enough
answers so we can attack the de
fenses from every angle and give him
the opportunity to just play ball.”
Another position that received a
lot of heat last season was wide re
ceiver. The Aggies tried to balance
out their offensive attack but had to
rely on the running back corps
more than they had wished.
Marshall said the receiver position
is perhaps the most improved posi
tion on the offensive side of the ball.
"Our wide receiver position is an
important position, and they are
going to be asked to do a lot and
come up with big plays,” Marshall
said. “It doesn’t matter whether they

Born and raised in Michigan,
Hankwitz played under the leg
endary Bo Schembechler before
graduating from the University of
Michigan in 1970.
Hankwitz joined Bill McCart
ney’s staff at the University of Col
orado in 1985 and was promoted to
defensive coordinator in 1988,
helping the Buffaloes to the na
tional championship in 1990.
The common denominator
among the many programs Han
kwitz has been associated with is
the winning that follows him every
where he goes, something he at
tributes to hard work and like-
minded colleagues.
“I’ve been fortunate to work with
quality coaches,” Hankwitz said.
"I’ve been at programs where they
believed in defense and the impor
tance of defense, so it’s been a big
emphasis. Football is a team sport,
and everybody’s got to be working
in the same direction and believing
in what you’re doing, and the head
coach is a big part of that with his
catch five balls or 105, butasapi
tion they are one of themosit
proved positions of the
side. If they continue to
strides they will be one ofi
strongest parts on the offense.'

the future. Instead, heisl
