New faces dot 1984 football staff
By PHIL ELLENBECKER Associate Sports Editor
The coaching staff now working with the KU football team looks somewhat different from the one that worked with last year's team, but according to KU head coach Mike Gottfried, that's not entirely expected.
"When you have good people you expect to lose some," he said. "It's a pretty common thing. I think there's three other teams in the conference who've lost that many in the past year."
New faces on the coaching staff this season are quarterback coach Bob Valesente, defensive coordinator and secondary coach Vince Hoch and recruiting coordinator Bud Rattif.
Gottrud said David Lawrence, a former KU guard and a graduate assistant in the past, would fill the one vacancy remaining on the staff for now. He will be on the road recurrent rather than working with team.
Gottfried said that he would fill the
remaining vacancy with a full-time assistant after the season. He will also be looking for a new strength coach then. Ken Graff, the previous strength coach, was dismissed from that position shortly before fall practice began.
practice began. Valesene came to KU in March from the Baltimore Colts of the National Football League, where he was their defensive backfield coach the past two seasons.
A 19-year veteran of coaching, like most of the KU staff he has been associated in the past with Gotfried. The two worked alongside each other as assistants at the University of Cincinnati in 1975 and 1976.
Gottfred hired Hoch away from Lou Holtz's staff at the University of Minnesota in March. As defensive coordinator for the Jayhawks, he inherits the position vacated by Ron Zook, who took a position on the Tennessee coaching staff in June.
Gottfried said the Jayhawks would be doing the same things on defense under Hoch that they did under Zook Zook brought the seldom-seen wide-tackle six defensive alignment
to KU when he came with Gottfried from Cincinnati.
"He's run some of that same thing before," Gottried said of Hoch. "We had that in mind when we brought him in."
Rattlif came to KU in March after being an assistant at Morehead State University, Youngstown State University and Heidelberg College. He was a high school teammate of Gottfried's at Crestline, Ohio and coached with him at Youngstown State.
Returning to KU from last year's staff are running back coach Tom Liggins, offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Mike Solari, defensive line coach Vic Eumont, linebacker coach Mike Monos, wide receiver coach Mike Dickens and defensive end coach Jay Bonds.
Solari, Liggins and Dickens were among the six assistants Gottfried originally brought with him from Cincinnati when he was hired by KU two years ago.
Gottief's staff is dotted by people he's coached with, or has coached, or are former teammates
Who'll be calling the shots?
It is no secret that the Kansas football team will be a passing team again this year. The Jayhawks passed for 3,146 yards last year—the fourth highest total in the country, and are showing no signs of slowing down their air attack.
The only secret so far has been who will do the throwing. And now, even that is becoming less of a secret.
A little over a week ago, the KU depth chart had Mike Norseth, who was listed as the No. 1 quarterback for the top quarterback. O'Donnell tied for the top quarterback spot.
To complicate matters further, Tom Quick performed well enough in spring practice and through the first week of training that he was be mentioned as a possible starter.
Norseth passed for over 4,000 yards and 25 touchdowns in two years at Snow Junior College in Ephraim. The drummer, he also ran on 10 touchdowns.
Orth saw spot action last season when former KU quarterback Frank Seurer was injured, completing nine of 17 passes for 136 yards. In one scrimmage last spring, he completed 19 of 30 passes for 180 yards.
It is possible that all three will see action at quarterback at some point during the season
Quick was moved from receiver to quarterback last spring, and completed 11 of 19 passes for 120 yards in one spring scrimmage. A shoulder injury to his throwing arm has kept him from reaching his potential.
Head Coach Mike Gottfried said that Norseth, who played with the first team offense in a scrimmage last Saturday, was still his starting quarterback. He added that if the Jayhawks were playing Wichita State today, Norseth would walk onto the field as the starting quarterback.
That is the situation for the moment. But it is difficult to tell when the moment will end. It could end this afternoon during practice, or

after the last play of the season finale.
With Norseth in charge of what this year's slogan-makers have dubbed the KU Air Force, Orth and Quick, who are both talented players, will be waiting patiently for their chance to play.
Both were on the sidelines last year, but the situation this year is vastly different. Last year, Orth was an inexperienced freshman, Quick was playing receiver, and the Jayhawks had Seurer, a talented, strong-armed veteran at quarterback.
White benched by Landry
Chances are, if the KU offense fails to fly, Gottfried will do some experimenting with his quarterbacks. If Norseth struggles, don't be surprised to see Orth, and if Orth struggles, don't be surprised to see Godfried.

week, had injured his shoulder and elbow against San Diego this summer. But he got the surprise nod from Landry after leading the Cowboys to a 31-24 victory over Houston last Saturday.
It was the extra 111 passing attempts that made the difference. His passing statistics improved because of Gottfried's pass-oriented offense.
It is obvious that Seurer did not "improve" his passing 1,000 yards last season, although his completion rate increased from 49 percent to 53 percent.
What remains to be seen, however, is how long Gottfried will stick with a struggling quarterback Deciding when to pull a struggling quarterback out of the game was something Seurier's senior season. Seurier left the game last season only if he was injured.
The Jayhawk quarterback of 1984, whether it is Norsest, Orth or Quick, will inherit the KU Air Force. The burden of flight will be on his shoulders.
Last season, Gottfried's first at KU. Kansas passed the ball 407 times and run 380 times. Seurer had 2,729 points in a Big Eight Conference record.
DALLAS — Gary Hogeboom, the fifth year quarterback who came on strong this pre-season despite an arm injury, will start over veteran Danny White in the Dallas Cowboy's season-open Monday night against the Los Angeles Rams, Coach Tom Landry announced yesterday.
White, entering his fifth year as a starter, struggled during the first half against the Oilers. Hogeboom, however, ignited the Cowboys' of fence through the last two quarters with a 7-of-12 performance for 130 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions.
"I have coached this game. I have played this game. I have to go on my
In 1982, with Don Fambrough as head coach, Kansas passed 296 times and ran 441 times. Seurer had 1,625 yards passing.
"For my own reasons I have a feeling that Gary is right for this game," Landry said. "My feeling is the same about Danny White. He is an excellent quarterback and will continue to be an excellent quarter back."
Hogeboom, who turned 26 last
He has seen only limited action with the Cowboys. His most impressive showing prior to this pre-season came Jan. 23, 1983, in the NFC championship game in Washington when he relieved an injured White with 19 seconds left in the first half.
Royals shut out
By United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Danny Darwin scattered eight hits and Pete O'Brien and Jeff Kunkel contributed solo home runs Tuesday night, pacing the Texas Rangers to a 6-9 victory over the Kansas City Royals. The loss dropped the Royals to four games behind Minnesota in the American League West race.
It was Darwin's first career victory over the Royals in his five years in the majors. The right-hander, 8.9, struck out nine and walked two in recording his first shutout of the season.
Loser Frank Wills, 1-3, gave up nine hits and six runs.
