Jets Buffalo Cincinnati Denver St. Louis Seattle Pittsburgh Minnesota Tampa Bay San Fran. Miami Frost said Lander felt he did not have the support of his coaching staff. "The staff is what kept the football team together and the staff was not disloyal," Merritt said Tuesday of the relationship between Lander and his assistants.

Lander had served on Johnson's staff in 1980 before succeeding the five-year veteran last December as head coach. After Lander's resignation, submitted to Frost on the afternoon of Nov. 1 3, was disclosed late that night, -offensive coordinator Scott Ca-vender was designated to handle the team in its first round state playoff game. Georgetown, ranked No. 1 in the state in several Class AAAA preseason polls, lost to Waco Jefferson-Moore, 15-12.

Merritt said the name of from three to five candidates for the coaching job will be submitted to the Georgetown school board. "We want somebody who will come in and stay, be a part of the community," Merritt said, explaining that Lander kept a residence in San Antonio and never moved to Georgetown on a perma-' nent basis during his tenure.

Philadelphia By GEORGE BREAZEALE American-Statesman Staff Georgetown High School, which has lost two head football coaches by resignation in less than a year, will go outside its present staff to name a successor to Harry Lander, who quit the same day the Eagles won the 1981 District 12 AAA A championship.

Athletic director Bill Merritt says he has begun a search and "I have already had 50 calls or more about the coaching job. We want to try to name somebody before Christmas and have him in Georgetown by the first of the year to keep the football program going." Merritt said the new coach can bring offensive and defensive coordinators with him. "That means, obviously, some or all the people on the present varsity staff will be reassigned. There'll be jobs for everybody who wants one, although maybe not what they'd prefer." Lander's predecessor, Les Johnson, was removed from the head coaching post by school superintendent Jack Frost because of "the problem of coaching turnover," and Atlanta N.Y.
