Of course, the Chargers still lack a quarterback, most of an offensive line, several linebackers, a couple of defensive backs and assorted other gaps that Ortmayer must fill from the upcoming draft and the free-agent market. All in all, its a good thing Henning has a five-year contract.

But then, so did Saunders, who lasted just IVi years. Henning understands the insecurity of the profession, even under owners with more patience than Spanos. Every coach is really on a one-year contract, he said. Youre only as good as your last play, your last game. The challenge for Henning will be to make sure his last game here is more than five years away.

you see why Spanos was ducking boos when he appeared at halftime of the Chargers blowout loss to San Francisco on Dan Fouts Day last season. Itll be up to Henning to change that. Winning football games overcomes a lot of negative public relations and Henning made it clear thats exactly what he plans to do. I have one goal left as a coach in this profession, and that's to win a Super Bowl as a head football coach, said Henning, who as an assistant was part of two Super Bowl winners in Washington. This is where I intend to do it.

His credentials are strong. He possesses a good offensive mind and uses the same system the Chargers do, cutting down on the pain of transition. The defensive transition will be eased by the retention of Lynn as defensive coor- Frank Continued from page D1 Job. In fact, he lacks the patience of anybody. Spanos wants to win yesterday.

Hes watched for Five years as the Chargers have moved progressively closer to the bottom of the NFL heap. Were it not for a pair of upset victories over the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks last season, the Chargers would have finished 1988 with the second-worst record in the NFL. Ortmayer, his player acquisitions man, has specialized during his tenure with the Chargers in dealing something for nothing. And the clubs drafts in recent years have been anything but productive. Combine the above factors and Chargers Continued from page D1 dealing in years here.

Said Steve Ortmayer, the Chargers director of football operations: The man weve chosen as our head coach comes highly credentialed. The attraction is his tough determination to win now and reach the goal (the Super Bowl). Chargers owner Alex Spanos said that Henning will be the man to take us all the way and lead us to success. Henning received the job over a field that included former Cal and Illinois Coach Mike White, Chargers defensive coordinator Ron Lynn, Chargers special teams coordinator Wayne Sevier and Chicago Bears assistant Johnny Roland. Although the Chargers were the first of four NFL teams to fire their head coach (Dec.

19), they were the last team to fill the vacancy T2 weeks later. Despite the high marks Henning received from around the NFL, there was one set of numbers that hung around his neck like a noose: 22-41-1. That was Hennings record when he was the coach for the Atlanta Falcons from 1983-86. It was the only time he has held a head coaching job. But Ortmayer, who was responsible for the selection of Henning, characterized the Atlanta job as an unfortunate set of circumstances.

If you talked to the same people I talked to about Atlanta, he said, it wouldnt be hard for vou to look eighth head, coach in the franchises 29-year history, was asked how he intended to turn around the Chargers after his record in Atlanta. I believe when I went into the Atlanta situation, there had been a little controversy there," Henning said. The organization wasnt interested in rehiring of any of the staff that was there. In putting a staff together and retooling, but we got off to a slow start. I think Im ahead of that here.

I think that theres been some things done prior to me coming here over the last couple of years that have put it in a much better light. Ortmayer said four factors led to Henning being hired, the most important of which was his experience. The other factors were that Henning had coached on two Super Bowl championship teams (I respect people who have scaled that mountain. Hes done it that Ortmayer had a feeling Henning was the right man for the job and Hennings willingness to allow continuity by retaining some of the Chargers assistant coaches. Ortmayer also mentioned that he could relate with Dan Henning very, very well That could be a key considering that Saunders was fired because of his public criticism of personnel moves rather than his on-the-field coaching.

There are many factors other than your personnel and your Xs and Os that determine winning and losing, said Henning. I think everybody in the organization has to be on the same page. i past it either. That has been expressed to me more than once by good people. Yet, in fact, the record is still there.

Lets just say that Dan Henning has another chance. Said Henning, a coach in the NFL for 14 years: I think we did a good job there. The record in Atlanta doesnt describe what I like to think is the kind of job we did there. Obviously, the people here who made the decision were able to get by that. My consideration here was that they do all the investigating necessary to find out if I was capable of doing the job.

A great number of people, who felt the same way I did, spoke out on my behalf. As proof of the job he and his staff did in Atlanta, Henning pointed to his teams winning record over the last 18 games (9-8-1) of his coaching tenure. Henning also was quick to remind that the Falcons have won only eight games in the two seasons since he was fired. The Falcons improved statistically under Henning, both on offense and defense. The defense jumped from 25th in 1983 to seventh in 1986.

Offensively, the running game was the third best in the league in 1986. Other factors which Ortmayer said adversely influenced Hennings situation in Atlanta were starting off his first season with no coaching staff when he was hired, sustaining devastating injuries to key players such as running back William Andrews and a quarterback transition from Steve Bartkowski to David Archer. Henning, whq became the 4 Coaches Continued from page D1 had agreed to a two-year contract to return to his former club, the Washington Redskins. Sevier said his decision to rejoin Coach Joe Gibbs staff Sevier worked there for four seasons had nothing to do with his not getting the Chargers head job. One of the reasons I have a Super Bowl ring is Joe Gibbs," Sevier said.

Ask Dan Henning. Its tough when Joe Gibbs insists on something. Sevier said if he had been offered the chance to stay, he would have beentorn between the two been passed over. I think theres always going to be a little bit of disappointment, Lynn said. Its obviously something most assistant coaches would like to attain.

But on the other hand, there is an element of relief and an element of lets get this thing going again. The status of offensive coordinator Jerry Rhome remains very much up in the air. Rhome, who left town Tuesday reportedly to interview for a job in Dallas, worked with Henning in Washington in 1987. But Henning, known as an offensive-minded coach, would give no assurances that Rhome would return in any capacity. In Atlanta, Henning served as his own offensive coordinator.

Id be getting a tough tug at the heart strings, he said. One job is with a guy (Gibbs) who Ive worked with before and who I have a great deal of respect for. The other job, if I was offered it, is with an organization that is on the rise and that I want to be a part of. It would have been a tough decision, but I decided to make this move now. The other two assistants who have left the Chargers since the end of the season are offensive line coach Jerry Wampfier and tight ends coach Davy Levy.

Both have joined the Detroit Lions. Although Lynn was relieved that the Chargers long search for a head coach finally was over, he ex-nrpsspd Hisannointment. at having i.
