Eagles grid coach interviews underway

By JON FULBRIGHT
Staff Writer
PECOS, Jan. 29 -- Pecos-Barstow-Toyah ISD administrators are
moving quickly to fill the vacant head football coaching
job, conducting interviews just one day after the deadline
for applications.

P-B-T superintendent Don Love, personnel director Gome
Olibas and athletic director Bubba Williams were busy today
interviewing five of the 10 candidates for the varsity job,
and have scheduled interviews with four of the other five
hopefuls on Friday.

Olibas' secretary, Frances Gomez, said Mike Ferrell, Randy
Hicks, Fernando Hernandez, Dan Swaim and John Barfield were
to be interviewed today, while Ronnie White, Steele Ewing,
Jerry Parent and the final person to submit and application,
Tony Matheson, will be interviews tomorrow. Gomez added that
she was scheduled to talk to the 10th applicant, Manuel
Valles, this afternoon about setting up a Friday interview
time.

The head coaching job became open earlier this month, when
new P-B-T superintendent Don Love reassigned head coach and
athletic director Mike Belew to principal at Zavala Middle
School. Williams was named by Love as Belew's replacement as
athletic director at the time of the Jan. 6 reassignment.

Ferrell and Swaim are members of Belew's varsity staff, with
Swaim have served for two years and Ferrell last season,
after serving as junior varsity head coach in 1996. Parent
in the longtime Zavala Middle School head coach while Ewing
served for 12 years as a junior high, sub-varsity and
varsity assistant coach for the Eagles.

Ronnie White is currently coaching in the El Paso ISD;
Hernandez is coaching in Fabens; Barfield is teaching at
Pecos High School; and Randy Hicks is the former Kermit
Yellowjackets head coach.

Valles currently coaching in the Laredo ISD, returned his
application on Wednesday, while Matheson is currently in
Marfa, Gomez said.

After the interviews, Love, Olibas and Williams will make a
recommendation to P-B-T school board members, who will then
vote on their selection.

The coaching interviews is one of two major actions that
will affect the Eagles' football team over the next five
days. On Monday, the University Interscholastic League will
release its bi-annual realignment of schools in Texas.

The UIL has made no formal statement about Monday's 9 a.m.
announcement, but did say the number of Class 5A schools
would be cut from 229 to between 210 and 215 for the next
two years. However, based on area enrollment reports, it's
likely the Eagles will either remain in the current District
4-4A, with Monahans possibly replacing Sweetwater as its
sixth member, or Pecos, Monahans and Fort Stockton may be
paired with schools on the eastern side of El Paso to create
a new District 4-4A.

Jones meets again with Packers' Lewis

IRVING, Texas, Jan. 29 (AP) -- Green Bay offensive
coordinator Sherman Lewis feels like he has reached the
semifinals in the search for a new Dallas Cowboys coach.

Lewis said Dallas owner Jerry Jones contacted him Wednesday,
and he expected to be in Dallas today for an interview for
the Cowboys' vacant head coaching job. The pair also talked
Monday in San Diego after the Super Bowl.

Lewis, 55, has spoken with the Arizona Cardinals and Atlanta
Falcons in the last few years, but he did not classify those
as legitimate job interviews compared with his discussions
with Jones.

``I was hoping that I could get to the next stage,'' Lewis
told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. ``This is like getting
to the semis.''

Lewis is at least the third candidate Jones interviewed to
replace Barry Switzer, whose resigned Jan. 9.

Jones declined to say if there are additional candidates for
the job. He also declined to say if he plans to ask the
Denver Broncos for permission to talk to offensive
coordinator Gary Kubiak.

It is known the Cowboys owner met, in addition to Lewis,
with former San Francisco 49ers coach George Seifert and
former UCLA coach Terry Donahue.

Jones said Wednesday he planned to speak to Seifert and
Donahue again.
