LSU fires DiNardo with one game to go
By Maiy Foster
The Associated Press
BATON ROUGE, La. — Gerry
DiNardo, whose team has lost
eight straight games and is win
less in the Southeastern Confer
ence, was fired Monday as LSU’s
football coach.
Assistant coach Hal Hunter
will coach the team for the final
game against Arkansas on Nov.
26.
LSU chancellor Mark Emmert
said DiNardo will be paid
$600,000 to cover his $150,000-a
year base salary for the four years
left on his five-year contract. He
will not get the rest of the pack
age, which includes $300,000 a
year in radio and television ap
pearances and $135,000 a year in
endorsements.
DiNardo met with school offi
cials Monday, two days after a
20-7 loss to Houston. He cleaned
out his desk and left immediate
ly after the meeting.
“It was very emotional,” ath
letic director Joe Dean said. “He
was emotional, I was emotional.
It wasn’t easy.”
The search for a new coach
will begin immediately, Emmert
said. He hopes a recommenda
tion can be made at the LSU
Board of Supervisors meeting on
Dec. 10.
DiNardo did not attend Mon
day’s news conference and
planned to meet with the team
Tuesday afternoon, Dean said.
The Tigers have had two
straight losing seasons, going 4-7
last year. They are 2-8 this year,
and have lost 14 of their last 15
SEC games.
“Basically, he just didn’t win
enough football games,” Dean
said. “He is a man of great in
tegrity and great character. It’s
too bad he didn’t have his losing
seasons first and the three good
years later.”
Emmert said DiNardo was giv
en the option of staying until af
ter the Arkansas game but decid
ed to leave immediately.
“We’ve concluded that a
change of leadership is neces
sary,” Emmert said at a news
conference.
DiNardo came to LSU in 1995
from Vanderbilt. He replaced
Curley Hallman, who accounted
for four of the previous six
straight losing seasons. DiNardo
had a 26-9-1 record his first three
years, winning three bowl games
and capturing co-championships
in the SEC West in 1996 and
1997.
But the Tigers, rated by many a
preseason favorite to win the SEC
West in 1998, slid to 4-7.
With one conference game left,
LSU is 0-7 in the SEC and has
lost eight straight games for the
first time in school history.
A combination of near-misses
against SEC opponents Missis
sippi State and Alabama —
where each time LSU came with
in one play of winning — and the
lifeless performance against
Houston apparently were the last
gasps for DiNardo.
“If he’d won those games, he’d
still be the coach here,” Dean
said. “If he’d won them I’m sure
they would have played better
against Houston. Winning does
that.”
Off-field problems shadowed
the team much of the season. Co
captain Larry Foster was arrest
ed, charged with purse snatching
and found to have warrants
against him for issuing bad
checks. Comerback Mark Roman
and safety Clarence LeBlanc
were ruled ineligible, accused of
inappropriate contact with a
sports agent.
This month, two current and
two former LSU players were ar
rested after being investigated for
illegal use of a telephone access
code.
Also, there was the recent ar
rest of a man accused of bribery
and violations of sports agent
laws for allegedly offering money
to an assistant coach and an aca
demic counselor.

Bridge. Sixteen Ducks competed
in the 2,000-meter novice race.
The novice men’s team shocked
the field, winning by a large mar
gin of more than two boat lengths.
The Ducks competed against six
other West Coast teams.
The women also fared well,
placing second out of eight
teams.
Crew coordinator Robin
Brandt was pleased with the
rookies’ showing.
“The novices did excellent,”
Brandt said. “We really didn’t
know what to expect since it was
their first race of the season.”
On Sunday, Oregon jumped to
the other side of Lake Washing
ton for the Head of the Lake Invi
tational. The varsity race was a
standard 5,000 meters.
The Ducks were led by the var
sity men’s fourth-place finish.
The women placed a disappoint
ing eighth. Washington, a nation
al powerhouse, won the race.
While Brandt was disheart
ened with the varsity showing,
knowing the quality of the com
petition was some consolation.

Horoscope by Linda C. Black
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 16). Your
planning pays off, and satisfaction's your re
ward. True love may be in there, too. Listen to
your conscience in November and your boss in
December. Study in January for a big exam in
February. Celebrate in March. You'll be ready
by then, whether you've won or lost. Fix an irri
tation at work in April and set up a new struc
ture in May. August could be rewarding, and
home's the best place for romance in October.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10
is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 5
— Complete a big project today to leave some
lime for contemplation. Go over what worked
and what didn't work and put in the correction.
Romance will work better if you keep it low
key, too. Easy does it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 6
— You may feel stuck this morning, but condi
tions open up as the day goes on. It’s not your
fault. In fact, you don't have to do much of any
thing. Don't struggle when it's not working and
don't take too much credit when it does. Relax
and enjoy the ride.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21)—Today is a 5 —
Sit down and sort things out this morning.
Write notes; do some long-range planning.
You'll get some good advice later, especially if
ou look for it. Ask questions, either intelligent
>r stupid ones. Either will work.
ANCER (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6
- The puzzle pieces don't fit together at fust,
•Hit later on they do. Tomorrow should be pretty
ood, so don't take your frustrations seriously,
rhe situation could turn in your favor all by it
| self.
■ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)—Today is a 5 — You
may have to go along with what somebody else
wants, whether you agree or not. There's been
altogether too much of this lately! Go ahead
and compromise. It s kind of difficult, but nec
essary. Be a good sport about it.
V1KGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6 —
You’ll be busy, and you'll need to concentrate
on purpose. Others may goof off, and you'd like
to do the same. Don't let yourself have that lux
ury until the tough stuffs done. Later, you can.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Today is a 6 —
The fun's most plentiful early in the morning.
Later, you'll have to get serious. The problem
is that nobody's going to tell you what needs to
be done. You have to figure it out. To avoid
trouble, do that.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6
— You'll run into problems early, unfortunate
ly. A mess might need to be cleaned up, too.
You're not the only one having a bad hair day.
By tonight, you'll laugh about it — together,
hopefully.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)—Today
is a 6 — You need to study as much as possible
early in the day. There may be a test later on
tonight. You may have to use what you've
teamed recently. Be prepared, to save yourself
both time and trouble.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a
5 — Your worries are about to fade. You know
anxiety is pointless, but sometimes you get
caught up in it anyway. As you calm down and
accept what is, you'll see more ways to change
it, as usual.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)—Today is a 4
— You've had a difficult few days. You may
have been right, but that doesn't matter if the
other person outranks you. If you can relax, you
may find it's easier to get your major points
across. Might as well.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7
— You're getting stronger, more decisive, and
more creative. Visualize what you want to
make happen. Pretend it's already come true.
The more vivid your pictures, the more apt they
are to materialize. That goes for the frightening
stuff, too, so make those things disappear.
