Recruiting philosophy of
new coaching staff key to
good times or continued
bad ones for Carolina
football
One of DicJc Cr urn's assistant coaches was chatting
with a Carolina student in a motel lobby last Friday
night in Clemson. SC., the night bef ore the Jekyll and
Hyde Tar Heels came close to defeating Clemson.
"So you're a senior, huh." Denny Marcin said. "Too
bad you won't be around for the good times."
The Carolina fellow looked at Marcin as if the coach
was batty in making such a proclamation. "You mean
there will be some good times?" the student asked:
hoping Marcin would elaborate.
Marcin returned a look of amazement. "You better
believe there will," he said.
And he wasn't kidding, either. At least he doesn't
think he was. No matter how frustrated Crum and his
assistants have become watching the Tar Heels fumble
and bumble to a 3-6 record, nobody's moving out of
Kenan Field House. At least not for a couple of years,'
not until the new coaches have -been given ample
opportunity to give Carolina the kind of winning
football they say they can.
Saturday's game against Virginia and next Saturday's
finale against Duke are merely minor skirmishes in the
overall scheme.The mean veiy little to anyone.oxcept to
the 14 Tar Heel semors4 None ot them, obviously, are
happy with the season; even Bob Loomis. who moved
from obscurity at fullback to all-star status at tight end,
is disgusted. And several of the seniors are bitter about
the coaching transition and Dick Crum's system on the
football field and off, They can't wait until the final
whistle against Duke. And though Crum won't say so .
publicly, there are a few players he'll be happy to escort
out the door.
The important Carolina football battles are being
waged on Friday nights w hen assistant coaches scour the
East and South for football players who would like to
come to Carolina, and w hom Crum and his staff would
like to coach. And when the Duke game film is placed on
its shelf in a couple weeks, Crum will pack his suitcase
for a winter of one-night stands in motels and for cups of
tea in a prospect's living room. ; '
That's where he'll seal his fate- or spark his fame as
Carolina's football coach.

And the recruiting campaign that Crum is directing is
one quite different from t he system used by former coach
Bill Dooley. ; -
North Carolina and Virginia were Dooley's prime
hunting grounds. Crum is branching out, looking into
Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, South Carolina and any
other state where he finds a player that w ill work into his
system. "We've got a good reputation outside Virginia
and this state," he says. sVe attract a lot of interest in the
Northeast. It's not' like we're known only in the
immediate area." ' ,
That's why Crum approaches Saturday's game
against Virginia as just another game. For Dooley, the
Virginia game was important to impress prospects from .
the state of Virginia. Crum isn't interested in trlcid who.
might make his mind up on the basis of one game.
The new staff won't go exclusively by a player's high
school stat sheet or his game films, cither. His high
school transcript and his college board scores will be
studied closely. ' II a kid wants to go to college to be a
toot ball player and nothing else. I'm not verv interested
in him." Crum says.
Ihats why Carolina isn't interested in a couple of
outstanding high school players in North Carolina who
are being courted b Alabama. Georgia. N.C. State and
East Carolina, among others. That's also why UNC is
recruiting a couple of in-state players that other schools
have taken merely a casual glance at. If the coaches spot
an obscure tackle in Pennsylvania who has the basic
physical qualifications speed and size as well as some
quality gray matter and an interest in Carolina. Crum
w ill recruit him and ht-pe he can coach him into being a
decent football player.
Crum isn't unrealistic enough to sav that every
football player he offers a scholarship to will be Dean's
List material. "We'll probably bring in about three
marginal kids in each class." he says. And the coach will
do his best to keepin school several Dooley recruits who
have no business being here in the first place. He'd
crucify himself in the eyes of wealthy alumni those
controlling the purse strings - if he ran off some players
who excell on the field but barely survive in the
classroom.
Crum's approach is a gamble. But it's one he believes
in and one he thinks he can make work. If it does work,
there will be good times. If it doesn't....
