European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - February 2, 1994, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 34 the stars and stripes sports wednesday february 2,1994 for the Dallas cowboys to emerge As the first the acc cat super bowl champions they must rebuild their line. Their Bottom line. In All the fantasy about a Cowboy dynasty the reality is that offensive coordinator Norv Turner is about to be named the Washington Redskin coach that five of Emmitt Smiths blockers fullback Daryl Johnston and linemen Nate Newton Kevin Gogan Mark step Noski and John Gesek will test the free agent Market along with linebacker Ken Norton an hat coach Jimmy Johnson is restless. Ever since who spurs surfaced that the expansion Jacksonville jaguars were hoping to lure Johnson for their first season in 1995, the Cowboy coach has tap danced through his an Swirs. A i get intrigued with things Quot Johnson was saying monday when asked about the Jacksonville situation. A you want to share things with people. In a Fine right now in Dallas. Some of my players Are like family to me it a be really hard to leave that but at to time has Johnson said that he leave maybe its All contract talk. Maybe in joining Vince Lombardi Don Shula and Chuck Noll As the Only coaches with Back to Back super bowl champions Johnson wants More Money from owner Jerry Jones than $1 million annually through the 1998 season. A. But of Miami Dave Anderson maybe Johnson who coached at the University i before joining the cowboys in Jones Takov commentary or in 1989, really wants the Challenge of building an expansion team. A i get Antsy i get bored and i do like a challenges he said last week. A i went to Arkansas but the University of Miami is my Johnson a heart still seems to be there. During last weeks Rainy raw weather he kept talking about the Palm Trees in the Miami area. And after the cowboys 30-13 Stampede of the Bills he said. A i just want to get on my boat in key Biscayne and do some scuba its enough to make you wonder if his Hairdo gets wet when he a underwater. Its also enough to make you wonder if Johnson might also be thinking about the dolphins Job when Shula now 64 years old eventually decides to Stop coaching. Especially now that the one Man sports conglomerate j. Wayne Hui Zenga has arranged to Purchase the dolphins. Whatever Johnson does chances Are hell still be coaching the cowboys next season but hell need to hire a new offensive coordinator. A i Don t want to downplay Norvus importance a Johnson said monday with his casual cockiness a but Well be of. I said the same thing with Dave Wannstedt a year then the cowboys defensive coordinator Wannstedt moved to the bears As head coach. Johnson installed Butch Davis As defensive coordinator. A but anytime you miss a key person like Norv a tight end Jay Novacek said a a person that ran the offence a person that made us do what we did you re going to miss whoever the new offensive coordinator is he will need time for the offensive players to believe in him As strongly As they believed in Burner. Smith quarterback Troy Aikman and wide receiver Michael Irvin Are signed and sealed for next season but if the cowboys lose some of those offensive linemen to free Agency the same holes might not be there for Smith the same pass Protection might not be there for the first year of the National football leagues salary Cap at around $34 million Johnson mentioned that his assistant coaches will concentrate More on assessing experienced free agents in the next few weeks than in scouting College players for the annual april draft. A it would be very difficult for a Rookie to make an Impact a Johnson said a whereas a free agent might step in and make an Impact at a position where we might lose a free agent. We have room under the salary Cap to sign the players we have and go out and sign some free but whenever Johson and Jones talk about their relationship there a a chill in the air. In the super bowl hype an Apex sports equip trient television commercial showed Johnson driving along a Dusty Road and stopping to pick up a few Cowboy players hitch hiking to the super bowl. Down the Road in the next scene Jones has his thumb up but Johnson drives by. One of the players asks a a was t that. A but Johnson keeps driving As Jones Waves the dust away. A Jerry had the idea for not picking him up a his coach explained with a tight smile a i guess he wanted to make the commercial As realistic As to tip new York tymm cars Deal pistons a record setback by the associated press Auburn Hills Mich.
