Claiborne announces his retirement

Says it is time for a change;
ends UK career at 41-46-23

By BARRY REEVES
Sports Editor

A plane ride through stormy
weather Monday night put things
into perspective for Jerry Clai-
borne.

“I was flying to Youngstown,
Ohio, to speak at a banquet and the
weather was rough, and (the plane)
was trying to land and I was bounc-
ing around and I didn’t know when
it was going to hit the ground,"
Claiborne said. “Then I started
thinking that this was stupid.

“My heart just wasn’t into re-
cruiting at that time. And I knew
that if we didn’t get good recruits
this year, then we’re going to have
a tough time. I just didn’t want to
damage the football program at
Kentucky."

Claiborne announced yesterday
at a press conference in the Admin-
istration Building that he was step-
ping down as UK’s football coach.

During his six years at his alma
mater, Claibome, a I949 UK grad~
uate, compiled a 41-46-3 record
and appeared in two bowls. Clai»
borne’s best team was his 1984
squad that won the Hall of Fame
Bowl and finished the year at 9-3.

“I am sorry the won«loss record
was not better, because as coaches,
that is how you are normally
judged. I am sad to be leaving
coaching," Claiborne said in a pre-
pared statement.

But UK President David Roselle
said the high percentage of UK
football players who graduated dur—
ing Claiborne‘s era was a positive
accomplishment.

Claiborne had 68 players named
to the Southeastern Conference All-
Academic team, and last spring UK
led the nation with the highest
graduation rate. Monday I7 players
were named to this year‘s SEC
honor roll.

UK Athletics Director CM.
Newton. who retired from coaching
last spring, said Claiborne will be
missed as a coach.

UK years
bittersweet
ones for
Claiborne

By BOBBY KING
Staff Writer

After eight seasons of frustration
and disappointment on the football
field and unequaled successes in
the classroom. Jerry Claiborne end-
ed his coaching career at UK yes-
terday.

Claiborne finished his tenure
with the Wildcats with a 41-46-3
record. This season he lead his
team to a 6-5 mark that in many
ways typified his career at UK.

During Claibome’s eight years at
his alma mater, his program was
unable to make the jump to national
prominence that many, including
Claiborne. had hoped it would
make.

Struggling to bring his program
out of the shadows in a basketball-
crazcd state, Claiborne established
a program that emphasized the stu-
dent aspect of the student-athlete.

His efforts were rewarded earlier
this spring when his program was
awarded the College Football Asso—
ciation Academic Achievement
Award for its 90 percent graduation
rate.

“He has given a great deal to
football anti to the University of
Kentucky," Newton said. “We
know him as an alumnus who re-
turned to his alma mater when it
was in time of need.

“I was a student-athlete at Ken-
tucky at the same time Jerry was
and I can tell you that he has al-
ways been a role model his entire
life."

Newton said the search for a new
coach will begin soon, but no time—
table has been set for selecting a
new coach.

“I am just going to plod along
exactly like I did in hiring a basket-
ball coach," said Newton, who has
been UK’s Athletics Director for
only 7 1/3 months. “I‘m going to
do it my way. We are going to do it
right and get the right guy.“

Newton said that he was the only
person who could understand the
difficulty of Claibornc's decision.

“I ant the only person in this
r(X)m that tindcrxtands Jerry’s deci-
sion better titan anyone because I
just went through the \tlmc thing
recently." he said. “.\n.l l antler—
stand how difficult this chision is
for him. It‘s not an cao one to
make."

UK President Um id Roselle said
Claiborne will hate “three of four
different positions" at the i'niversi-
ty that he could choose front. Ro-
selle (lid not elaborate on what
Claiborne’s next iob \H“ be at UK.

The University gave (.‘laihomc a
four-year extension on his contract
at the end of last season.

“We Will honor ilh contract. And
hopefully. Jerry Will remain With
the University in some sort of fash-
ion," Newton said.

Claiborne said that he has not de-
Cided what he Wlii do next.

“I just quit today " \Lilti Clai-
borne, who is the let winningest
coach in Dl\'l\lttn l hhltlr). “I real-

Faculty, staff compliment UK coach
for emphasis on academics, discipline

By JONATHAN MILLER
Staff Writer

Jerry Claiborne‘s decision to
quit football coaching yesterday,
surprised many 17K faculty and
alumni. '\ll UK officials contacted
yesterday complemented (‘lar
borne‘s integrity and his emphasis
on academics and discipline.

“1 really admire the discipline,
the stability, the academic achieve-
merits and competitiveness that he.
his coaching staff and players hate
brought to UK," said liK Athletit s
Director CM. Newton at yestcr~
day's press conference iii the Ad
ministration Building.

Many of Newton‘s comments
were echoed by other UK officials

“l atti very surprised at his deci-
sion," said Peggy Mes/.aros, dean
of the College of Home Economics
and a member of the UK Athletics
Association Board of Directors. "I
hate that we are losing such a fine
coach, but I do respect his wishes."

William B. Sttirgill, an alumni
member of the athletics board, said
Claibome “brought a distinction to
football at UK.“

“The student athletes that he's
produced will be the yardsticks by
which all other athletes will be
measured by." Sturgill said.

But students disagreed on the

atid others thinkingv that Clai~

French junior (‘liarlcs Foster

“He was always such a good

said.

Some students said they felt

world of college football.

Sociology sophomore Mary
Arnold said while theie may
have been some pressure for
Claiborne to resign, the decision
was mostly his.

UK coach
retires with
41-46-3 mark
at alma mater

(‘onttnued from page 1

His team's achievements in the
classroom helped to quiet criticism
of disgruntled fans who suffered
through four five-win seasons in
the last five years, Claiborne, how-
ever, l\' the only UK coach to post
at least II‘V‘C \ reforms in six consec-
UUVL‘ seasons.

After the departure of Fran Curci
following the 1981 season, Clai-
‘nome returned to his alma mater to
take ox er a Wildcat team that had
finished 3-8 in its previous two sea-
sons and had been rocked by scan-

Clail‘orne‘s first season at [K
(1982) was a rough one: UK lost 10
games and tied one.

But the following year, UK went
6-4-1 during the regular season and
was invited to the Hall of Fame
Bowl in Birmingham, Ala., only to
lose to the University of West Vir-
ginia 20-16. Following the end of
the season Claiborne was named
:he Southeastern Coach of the
Year.

to Birmingham to post a 20-19 win
over the University of Wisconsin.

Claiborne holds the distinction of

coaching honor came in 1974 when
he was named the Sporting News
National Coach of the Year.

Claibomc‘s retirement came after
coaching collegiate football for 28
years. He began his career at Vir-
ginia Tech in 1961, where he re-

the University of Maryland where
he enjoyed his most successful
years. Under Claiborne, Maryland
was 77-37-3 and appeared in seven
bowl games. In 1976 he lead the
Terrapins to an 11-1 record and a
trip to the Cotton Bowl.
Claiborne's 179 all-time wins
make him the 2lst winningest
coach in Division 1 college football
with. At the head of that list is Paul
“Bear" Bryant, who coached Clai-
borne at UK in the late 19405.
Claiborne returned to UK in 1954
as an assistant under Bryant.
Claiborne ranked fourth in victo-

football. I just felt like I couldn't do
the job needed going into this re-
cntiting season."

Many UK fans have expressed
their dismay with Claiborne and his
coaching style for several years, but
several recent remarks seemed
most vicious to the UK coach.

“Call-in shows have added an-
other dimension to coaching that
you have to deal with today,” New-
ton said. “(The callers) effect the
family more than they do the coach
and that's one of the things you
have to deal with.

“But I think that (the callers)
were just a very small part of it. I
don’t think that had a whole lot to
do with it."

Probably the person happiest
with Claibome’s decision to retire
was not the callers, but his wife,
Faye.

“She’s been wanting me to retire
for several years now,” Claiborne
said. “And she’s happy right now.

“She’s been wanting me
to retire for several years
now. And she’s happy
right now.

“She’s been telling me
that I was going to have
to think about (retiring).”

Jerry Claiborne,
UK football coach

“She’s been telling me that I was
going to have to think about (retir-
ing), but I never wanted to think
about it because I enjoyed coaching
so much. She’s happy."

Claiborne said he did not get to
spend much time with his wife dur-
ing football season.

“During the season, Thursday
night is the only night we eat din-
ner together all week," said Clai-
borne, who is the only coach in the
history of UK football to win five

or more games in six consecutive
seasons. “And she would bring my
dinner to the stadium on Sunday
nights, but that’s it.”

Roselle said he is committed to
selecting a football coach who ad-
heres to NCAA rules and stresses
academics.

“We are going to get a good foot-
ball coach -— a person who abides
by what our criteria is,” Roselle
said. “There are guys out there who
can do it right.”

Newton said a committee will be
set up soon to screen the candidates
he brings in, “but I will hire the
coach.”

In fact, Newton said he would
like UK’s next coach to be similar
to Claiborne.

“I'd give anything to hire a Jerry
Claiborne clone with integrity, one
who adds great discipline and sta-
bility to a program,” Newton said.
“There are football coaches out
there who have those traits, and it‘s
ourjob to find them."

away from him. He‘s the main rea-

When Claiborne told his staff
yesterday morning and his players
yesterday afternoon, emotion ran
high. especially as players spoke to
him after the meeting.

“1 gave him a hug and said
thanks for what he‘s done for me."
said Andy Murray, 21 senior full-
back. “He deserves to sit back and
take it easy and start to enjoy
watching football."

Rick Pitino made a winning de-
but as UK basketball coach last
night at Rupp Arena, as UK defeat-
ed Ohio University 76~73 in front
of 23,037 fans.

But the victory was not an easy
one for the Wildcats.

Trailing by 16 points with 19:19
remaining in the game, Ohio made
a run at the Wildcats to cut the UK
lead to three points with 11:53 left
in the game.

“They forced us to play their
game in the second half,” Pitino
said. “It was real frustrating to be
leading a team by 14 to 16 points
and they still wanting to play a
slowdown game."

Ohio coach Larry Hunter said his
team made a mistake by playing
UK‘s fast-break style offense in the
first half.

“We played Kentucky’s style in
the first half and it was an absolute
nightmare,” Hunter said. “We hung
in there, and 1 am proud of that. A
lot of teams might have folded.”

“I didn’t really think we showed
up for the second half.” said UK
forward Jeff Brassow, who scored
five points in his first game as a
Wildcat.

Ohio made its run using UK
turnovers and converting them into
easy baskets. But the Wildcat tum-
overs were not the real story of the
game w UK’s lack of rebounding
Overshaddowed it.

Ohio out—rebounded UK 33-14 in
the second half. Both teams had 19
rebounds each in the first half.

”We did a great job of control-
ling the boards in the first half, and
we gave up only three second shots
in the first half." said Pitino, who
joined all of l,'K‘s former basket—

tremely emotional about it. He did
fantastic things for this place.”

“He‘s one of those guys that
seems invincible." said defensive
back coach Chip Garber.

“1 cried. I thinkjust about every-
body did," said Likens. who be-
came a full-time coach when Clai-
borne came to UK. “Other than my
dad. he has had as big of an affect
on my life as anybody."

Speculation began yesterday as to
who will replace Claiborne.

“We‘ve heard everybody from

ball coaches in winning his 17K de-
but. “But I think we gave up live
second shots in the first five min-
utes of the second half. We've def-
initely got to do a much better job
ofcontrolling the boards."

“To be honest, 1 really didn't

VIEWPOINT

Higher education
should be part of
education reform

When Kentucky's constitution was written toward the end of

the last century, most people felt that an eighth grade education
was all that someone needed to be successful.

While some Kentuckians in urban parts of the state earned
high school diplomas during the 1890s, few people saw the

need to attend college.

But as the state's economy became more dependent on
industry and technical skills. a high school diploma was the
least a person needed to survive. And in today’s economy most
people must have at least some professional or technical
training to be competitive in the market.

But just as a college degree was rare in Kentucky at the
beginning of century, the state still is at the bottom in the nation
among adults 25 years old and older who have a college
degree. Only 11.1 percent of Kentucky adults 25 years old and
older have a college degree — which places the state 49th out
of 50 states and Washington. DC. according to the Almanac

of the 50 States.

Monday, Western Kentucky University President Thomas
Meredith reminded lawmakers that when education reform
finally begins, it should include college and post-graduate
work. “Kentucky’s public education is notjust kindergarten
through (grade) 12." Meredith told the Task Force on

Education Reform.

Education as a continuum as been a theme constantly
hammered home by university presidents. tnost notably UK

President David Roselle.

As university officials have said. if higher education is not
included in the refomi package. then much of the lawmakers”
work and taxpayers' money used on the reforms will be a
waste. Unless the state‘s eight universities and 14 community
colleges receive additional funding. the quality of Kentucky’s
higher education will diminish significantly. Many university
instructors are becoming rightfully frustrated working for
several thousand dollars less than colleagues in other states.

A poor higher education system also significantly affects the
quality of the state’s future leadership. Many of the state’s
brightest and best high school seniors will not want to go to
college in a state where laboratories are outdated. little variety
of courses are offered and library resources are outdated. Once
many of them leave the state, they will never return.

It’s good that lawmakers and other state leaders are talking
about reforming the state’s primary and secondary education
system. but unless they give attention to higher education. then
they might as well not have started.

Assassination game
violated no UK code

As co-organizer of the assassina~
tion game so much in question. id
like to commend Adam Goldberg
on his well-spoken view of this is»
sue. lf 1 may, I’d like to point out
of a couple more things.

First, Dean Wilson did not stop
the game before hearing the rules
about safety and UK disruption.
Rob and I spent over an hour in his
office explaining and justifying
them before he dropped the axe. We
also pointed out that 1 had run eight
games of this type before (with far
less strict rules) in high school
with my friends and four games at
U of L and I’d never had any prob-
lems with campus disruption or
safety.

Second, doesn‘t it make sense
that the chances of anyone being
“disrupted" by this game have al«
most vanished now that most eve—
ryone knows what’s going on‘.’ He-
sides, if we hadn’t gone for official
approval, I doubt if anyone would
have even noticed the game going
on.

Finally, the only part of the stu»
dent code we would have violated
by continuing the game would have
been, according to Dean Wilson.
Article 1, Section 1.21 H, which
states the following as a punishable
disciplinary offense: “Failure to
comply with directions of Universi-
