Panthers pleased with coach
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)—Dom
Capers brought his defensive exper
tise to the Carolina Panthers on Mon
day, but he said stopping opponents
wouldn’t be his only target as he
becomes the NFL expansion team’s
first coach.
“It’s like going into a game,” Ca
pers said during a news conference
formally introducing him as the head
coach. “You do extensive planning,
you do your homework, and then you
have to react.
“I believe that a head coach has to
have knowledge and control of all
phases of the game. I assure you that
I will know as much about what’s
going on with the offense and the
kicking game as I will with the de
fense.”
Capers, the defensive coordinator
for the Pittsburgh Steelers, will have
a long time to get his hands on all
facets of the Panthers, who begin play
next September in the NFC West. He
received a five-year contract. Finan
cial terms of the deal were not dis
closed.
“I think it indicates the type of
commitment,” he said about the length
of the contract. “When you start talk
ing about free agency and putting
together a top quality coaching staff
... it’s important that you have a con
tract that gives you the ability to put
together the kind of people you would
like.”
The 44-year-old Capers became
the center of attention for the Pan
thers after former Washington
Redskins coach Joe Gibbs turned down
Charlotte’s overtures. As assistants
from other NFL teams began depart
ing for other jobs, the Panthers went
to the Steelers for permission to talk
to Capers.
Although the Steelers granted per
mission, the league fined both teams
for allowing those talks to occur in
the midst of the season. The Panthers
received a $ 150,000 fine and lost two
draft picks for their actions.
“That’s behind us,” said Carolina
president Mike McCormack. “We got
the man we wanted, and we’re pleased
with that. We think he fits our orga
nization so well, so we’re just going
on from here.”
The next step for Capers,
McCormack and general manager Bill
Polian will be to assess the talent
available from the veteran allocation
draft on Feb. 15.

getting better. I’m not talking about
our talent comparing to year’s past. ]
just enjoy the way they work.”
Colorado’s recent success has
brought about a great deal of parity
amongthe league’s eight teams. Each
of the eight teams stood at 1-1 aftei
two conference games. Only Kansas,
several Big Eight coaches said, has
the ability to pull away from the
league.
But Jayhawk coach Roy Williams
said he thought the race would come
down to the wire this season, unlike a
year ago when Missouri pulled away
en route to a perfect 14-0 Big Eight
mark.
Williams agreed that Kansas may
have an advantage at the end of the
year as a result of the Jayhawks’
tough schedule. Kansas has defeated
three ranked teams, including top
ranked Massachusetts, and will take
a break from conference action Satur
day, when they play undefeated No. 2
Connecticut in Kansas City, Mo.
“I’m not sure how intelligent that
was to schedule UConn,” Williams
said. “It ’ s good for college basketball.
It’s riot the brightest thing. I’ve done
by any means, but we are going to
play it and see what happens.”
NOTES:
• With three non-conference
games remaining on Big Eight teams’
schedules, (Kansas vs. UConn on Sat
urday, Iowa State at Northern Iowa
on Wednesday, Washington at Colo
rado on Feb. 22) the conference has a
non-league record of 88-17. One more
victory would assure the Big Eight of
its second best non-league record in
history.
Jenkins

start off the season with three straight
wins.
But Jenkins suffered a sprained
ankle on her final landing in the floor
exercise against Utah State. The in
jury has hampered her early-season
performance.
The school record-holder in the
vault said she was disappointed to get
injured in the first meet of the season.
“Right now I just have to stay as
healthy as I can to compete well at the
end of the season,” Jenkins said.
Kendig said Jenkins’ leadership
was important to the Huskers.
“She is somebody that we would
like to have in the lineup all the
time,” Kendig said. “We have just
been holding her back a little bit on
the balance beam.”
On the balance beam Jenkins has
struggled, scoring a 9.0 at a triangu
lar against Boise State and Southern
Utah.
Jenkins also fell off the beam twice
in the first meet of the season against
Utah State, but she still won the vault
and the uneven bars.
In the vault last year, Jenkins scored
9.875 twice, once against Iowa State
and once at the Big Eight Champion
ships.
Over the weekend, competing on
her sore ankle, Jenkins finished sixth
in the all-around with a score of 37.8
at Boise, Idaho.
Jenkins said she was optimistic to
see Nebraska start off with two per
formances with more than 190 points.
“The team pulled together really
well,” Jenkins said. “I think the start
will get us on a good roll for the rest
of the season.”
That togetherness could help the
Huskers keep improving throughout
the rest of the year.
“We don’t want to start out strong
our first meet,” Jenkins said. “We
want to* "keep' building “and “getting1
better each meet.”
