July 12, 2001 I think it was Tommy Lasorda, or perhaps another noted philosopher, who first said: When in doubt, ask a friend. Anyhow, Dean Spanos did. that Jimmy Johnson. Architect of the house that Jerry Jones has torn down. What Spanos heard from the man who minted both NCAA and Super Bowl champions was: One of the things Butler said he'd do was hire A.J. Smith as assistant GM, and proof he succeeded in that venture stood before a microphone at the Hall yesterday. Smith and Butler have shared the same yoke since the early 1980s and the move west also would be in tandem. You listen, and it's as if the Chargers of last season were swept aside by a whirlwind, and when the wind died a completely repackaged franchise emerged. These guys moved as swiftly as we hope Tomlinson will. real They were, and time to begin reviewing the effect approaches. Rookies report to training camp a week from Monday, veterans four days later. At that point, it becomes Riley's charge to prove his evaluations by Johnson and Spanos were correct. Final preparations are in progress. Today, Dean Spanos, Butler, Smith, Riley and perhaps a few caddies were to hole up in Las Vegas for a final shakedown. | |
