Job at stake for Missouri football coach
Stull takes the blame defensive about record
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Coach Bob Stull said he had fulfilled his main responsibility even though he hadn't produced a winning football program at Missouri.
And, Stull said, winning the last two games this season at Kansas State, Kansas and evening his record at 5-1. I would make it easier to keep his job for a sixth season.
"Winning the last two and being tied for third in the league, third or fourth, there is a lot of difference than the alternatives," said Stull, who is 15-36-2 in his fifth season at Missouri.
"There are a lot of people pulling for us. But we've got to help ourselves out. We can make it easy for
them if we can win those games," he said Wednesday after releasing a self-evaluation to reporters.
Athletic director Dan Devine said last week that five victories would not be enough to save Stull's job, but he retreated from that statement Tuesday.
"I'm sorry I said that," Devine said. "I don't weasel out of my mistakes. But that was a mistake on my part. I don't know that that's true about our alumni."
Stull acknowledged some concerns about his job status but said that the combination of a tough football schedule, high academic standards and facilities that needed improvement were factors.

"We're definitely at risk of losing our job," he said.
"I really feel like we're doing everything we're supposed to be doing. When people start throwing out
"How come (K-State is) 6-2-1 and how come they're doing this?" Let's be realistic about where we are here."
Stull said Kansas State had spent $8 million to upgrade facilities and had worked hard to get an easier schedule.
"Their academic situation is different from ours. Stull said, "But they'ye done all those things to give them the best possible chance.
"But we're not going to go $4 million in the red in the operating budget to make this go here. We're closing down programs on campus."
Stull said he felt his primary responsibility was "to represent the University of Missouri in a manner that reflects the integrity and prestige of this great university and to make a positive contribution to our student athletes, the university and to our community."
He said he felt he and his wife, Kim, had done that. Stull said his second responsibility was to "restore the winning tradition in football at the University of Missouri.
Oklahoma may install grass playing surface
The Associated Press
NORMAN, Okla. — A recommendation to install a grass playing surface for the 1994 football season will be made next week to the University of Oklahoma Board of Regents, school officials announced yesterday.
Athletic director Donnie Duncan said the decision was made after consulting players, coach Gary Gibbs, medical staff, training staff and the band.
In a survey of current players, 86 percent said they preferred grass to artificial turf.
"The overall clear preference was for a grass surface." Duncan said. "Also, our fans have strongly expressed a preference for grass. This will be an exciting project for all of us."
Oklahoma first went to artificial turf in 1970. The carpet now on Owen Field has been there 12 years and is badly worn.
The condition of the turf was magnified earlier this season when quarterback Cale Gundy was knocked unconscious when his head slammed against the turf while he was being tackled.
Duncan said the Touchdown Club would help pay for the installation of the grass, which is estimated to cost less than $750.000. according to the recommendation.
"While the studies are not conclusive, the perception among many players, trainers, medical professionals and coaches is that a high-quality natural surface is safer," the report continues.
"Recent studies indicate that play and practice on a highquality natural surface may reduce the relative risk of injuries which result in loss of playing time or performance ability," the recommendation states.
The recommendation will be made to the regents at their Monday meeting.
Father, son are finalists for coach of year award
By Michael A. Lutz The Associated Press
HOUSTON — Florida State's Bobby Bowden and his son Terry Bowden of Auburn became the first father and son to be named finalists for the Football Writers Association of America's college coach of the year award yesterday.
Ohio State coach John Cooper, whose Buckeyes are 8-0-1 and ranked No. 5 in the nation, and Kansas State's Bill Snyder, who has guided the Wildcats, 6-2-1, to a No. 24 ranking, also are finalists.
The Bowdens bantered over a telephone conference call hookup announcing the four finalists for the award, named for former Alabama coach Bear Brvant.
Terry Bowden said of his father, "He's forgotten more about coaching than I'll ever know."
Bobby Bowden said he had thought that Terry would have become a lawyer.
"He went off to law school, and I thought he was going to use his head," Boby Bowden said. "But I guess his mind was set. I guess it got in his blood and he had to go that way."
Florida State, 9-0-0, was the unanimous No. 1 pick in the most recent Associated Press college poll, and Auburn, 9-0-0, was ranked No. 7.
Terry Bowden has guided Auburn to its unbeaten record in his first season as head coach, after spending three years as head coach at Salem College in Massachusetts and six seasons at Samford in Birmingham, Ala.
Bobby Bowden said, "It's almost overwhelming to be considered for this award. I've been in coaching for 10 years, but my biggest game before this year was against Millsaps."
Kansas State was ranked No. 18 a week ago, prior to Saturday's 27-23 loss to Iowa State. The Wildcats started the season with five straight victories for the first time since 1934.
Since that start, Kansas State has lost to Nebraska, tied Colorado and defeated Oklahoma.
Cooper led Ohio State to an 8-3-1 record last year, the school's best record since 1986. The Buckeyes are on pace to at least equal that record, following Saturday's 14-14 tie with Wisconsin.
Cooper said, "We played an excellent football team in Wisconsin and we played at their place. But we control our destiny. With two more wins, we can go to the Rose Bowl."
Ohio State, 8-04, has been to four consecutive bowl games under Cooper.
