The News from Paterson, New Jersey • 7

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1981 The News, North Jersey, Sports FANFARE By JOE CARNICELLI United Pratt International NEW YORK Forrest Gregg, who instilled a new sense of discipline into the Cincinnati Bengals and in two years brought them from last place to a division championship, yesterday was voted UPI's American Conference Coach of the Year. Gregg, whose Bengals finished at 124 best record in the AFC and won the Central Division title, was named on 46, or the 58 ballots cast by UPI's panel of pro football writers, four from each AFC city. Miami's Don Shula was second with eight votes and Dan Reeves of Denver received two. Gregg was hired two years ago this week after the Bengals had put together back-to-back 4-12 seasons. He set the tone immediately.

"I'm not in the business to be loved," Gregg said on his appointment. "There have been football players who didn't like me. I could go get three or four guys right now who would be more than happy to. ring my chimes. "I'm in this business to win football games.

There is talent here to win. What we want to do is put that talent together and step forward from this day on." And Gregg was true to his word. The Bengals finished strong last season to wind up 6-8. In their first two games this year, they roared from behind to defeat Seattle and the Jets and they were on their way. The Bengals won their first Central Division title since 1973 and earned their first playoff berth since 1975.

The Bengals will play host to the Buffalo Bills Sunday in a divisional playoff game. The winner will meet the survivor of Saturday's San Diego-Miami game on Jan. 10 for the AFC championship and a berth in the Super Bowl. Gregg, who played guard and tackle under Vince Lombardi during the Green Bay Packers' glory years in the mid 1960s, has the same strict outlook toward coaching as his former coach. "I believe in discipline," says Gregg.

"You can forgive incompetence. You can forgive lack of ability. But one thing you can't forgive is lack of effort. In my mind, there is-never any excuse for lack of effort. "Two years ago, I fully expected to be in the playoffs now.

I believed it could be done. But it's sure been a fast two years." Even Cincinnati's players admit that Gregg's discipline helped turn the club around in the past two seasons. "When he arrived, the club desperately needed discipline and direction," veteran linebacker Jim LeClair said. "He has provided both. He has brought us together.

A lot of it is the force of his personality. He demands a lot." "He has provided the leadership we. needed," said Paul Brown, the Bengals vice president-general manager and the only other Cincinnati coach ever to win the award. He was selected Coach of the Year in 1969. "We needed someone to take command." Gregg is the third consecutive AFC Central coach and the third straight from the state of Ohio to win the award.

Cleveland's Sam Rutigliano won it the past two "seasons. Bill Walsh of San Francisco was named NFC Coach of the Year on Monday. Shula got support for taking a young Miami team that was expected to rebuild and molding it into a division champion. The Dolphins won the AFC East title with an 114-1 record and will play host to San Diego in the divisional playoffs Saturday. Reeves, who took over at Denver this year and became the youngest coach in the NFL at the age of 37, had the Broncos in first place on the final weekend of the season but was overtaken by San Diego.

Despite the disappointment of the loss, Klecko still looked at the bright' side the way the team came together; "I feel happy and close to everybody," he said. "I think you'll see a lot of guys staying in contact with each other thjs year. Last year, that didn't happen. "It's a big unity thing," he continued. Richard (Todd) is getting married in Feburary and I think a lot of the team be there." Klecko, in his sixth season out of Temple, was proud of the way the Jets performed in the playoff loss.

He recognized the team made many mistakes, but noted that no one quit. "By not quitting, it creates a closeness," he said. Klecko had played hurt for most of the season. He had injured his foot in the early going, but continued to play. The foot had begun to heal, but he reinjured it on the first play of the game against the Green Bay Packers.

He didn't quit then either. Instead, he went back into the locker room, where the foot was x-rayed and then retaped. Klecko began to run in the leading to the locker room, testing the foot, he returned to the game and responded with 2ft sacks. "What can you say about Joe Klecko?" coach Walt Michaels said. "Joe's done the same thing that he did in the other games.

He said he wouldn't stay in the locker room; he wanted to play." After the third loss at the beginning of the season, Klecko said he Wasn't sure the Jets could rebound to make the playoffs. "We fought hack," he said. "We're a winning, big, grown-up football team now. We're a united family. "We came back from adversity 'and shoved it in everyone's faces," he said.

"We're a very mature team now," he said. "We know that every week we have to go out and play, so why not give it your all?" Klecko' stature with his teammates was clearly evident during the pre-game introductions at Shea Stadium. While the crowd loved the Gastineau show, it was Klecko dashing onto the field that inspired' the players. "The name (New York Sack Exchange) added a little bit of incentive," Klecko said of the inspired play of the defensive line. "But we have a good bunch of guys on the line.

You feel great because you know your buddy is doing well. "We've grown up and matured," Klecko said of the Jets. VThe talent has always been there, it just never came to the top before." The talent on the Jets hasn't reached the top just yet. The Jets and Klecko have many good games ahead, but there won't be any more for the team this season. Vy, Klecko will be playing one more time however.

He has been selected to go to the Pro Bowl. He was an alternate to the Pro Bowl in 1979. Now he is a starter, along with Gastineau, The two deserve to be there. After all. the duo lead the entire NFL in sacks.

When coach Ron Erhardt was fired last week. Patriots owner William Sullivan said he wanted a tougher coach for his last place 2-14 team. The Boston Globe reported that a source close to Robinson said the USC coach has "definitely" been offered the job but that "the Patriots will have to set him up pretty good." "It will have to be a long-term deal worth more than a million dollars, the kind of deal that would set him up for life even If things didn't work out well In New England," the source was quoted as saying. News to note Jets' quarterback Richard Todd set playoff records for pass attempts and completions in Sunday's 31-27 AFC wild card loss to the Bills. Todd's 51 attempts broke the mark of 49 set by the Joe Namath against Oakland in 1968 and tied by Washington's Bill Kilmer against Minnesota.

Todd's 28 completions broke the 34-year-old playoff record of 27 set by Philadelphia's Tommy Thompson against the Chicago Cardinals in 1947. Todd set a single-game record for completions with 42 last season in a loss to San Francisco. New York's 18 first downs passing also were a playoff record. Buffalo's BUI Simpson, who made a game-saving Interception at his goalline after the Jets had moved to the 11 with 10 seconds left, tied a playoff record held by Charlie Waters of Dallas with his ninth interception. Simpson, who had two interceptions Sunday, has nine in 10 playoff games.

Waters has nine in 23 post-season games. Wayne Gretzky, is rewriting NHL scoring records as a member of the Edmonton OiJers, yesterday was named the 1981 man of the year by The SportingNews.
