Ex-Jayhawk selected to coach
By United Press International
SEATTLE--Mike McCormack, a former Kansas Jayhaws football player, was selected to replace Jack Patera, coach of the Seattle Seahawks for its entire seven-year history, who was fired Wednesday.
Elmer Nordstrom, the managing general partner, announced the dismissal and said McCormack, director of football operations for the Seahawks and previous coach at Philadelphia and will serve as interim head coach.
"We have been disappointed at the lack of progress on the football field our
past years and they is the sole reason for the dismissal," said Nordstrom. "It became apparent in our early season because that things hadn't turned around."
Seattle lost to Cleveland 21-7 and Seattle 23-21 before the players went on field.
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT of the decision was delayed while Seahawks executives tried to reach Patera, who is based on remote area on the Olympic Peninsula.
The Seahawks also fired general manager John Thompson.
When they finally reached the
when-year-old coach, Nordtrom said, his
opportunity to play was gone.

tonight, both sides' proposals and counterproposals on all issues are being discussed and will continue to be so."
A broadcast report indicated about noon yesterday that a settlement would be reached "probably within 24 hours."
"As of this time, contrary to reports, a settlement is not imminent," Kagel said. "Last night, again this morning, this afternoon and probably much of

MCCORMACK SAID he would only coach the team through the current season, if there was one, and then return to his other position. He added that under no circumstances did he plan to remain as coach.
"When I took the job I didn't want to be a coach, and that still stands," said McCormack of his former position. He inked the Seahawks last March.
McCormack said he took the lame buck position after discussing it with the team.
"They said I could help the team by taking over, so I accepted," MeCormoran said.
The new coach said the Seahawks were a good, young team that needed better communication between the coaches and the players.
"I hope I'll have some visible input," he said.
McCormack also will help select Seattle's permanent new coach. No.
deadline has been set for a selection,
although it will probably come after the
end of the football season, he said.
THE OWNERS decided to terminate Thompson because of his influence on the U.S. government.
"John was the head man," said Nordstrom. "We relied on him."
Thompson was named Seahawks general manager when the club was formed in 1975. He served as publicity director and assistant general manager of the Minnesota Vikings, assistant to the National Football Conference and executive director of the NFL Management Council before taking the NHL job.
Patera played guard and linebacker in the NFL for five seasons before joining the Los Angeles Rams as defensive line coach in 1983. He moved to the New York Giants in 1967 and to Minnesota in 1989.
As coach of the Seahawks, he was known for his trick plays and for bringing Seattle two straight winning seasons in 1978 and 1979. But the Seahawks dipped to 4-12 in 1980 and 6-10 last season and got off to another losing start before the strike suspended play this year.
