With or without Walsh
Niners’ future appears rosy
By BARRY W1LNER
Associated Press Sports Writer
MIAMI (AP) — With or without
Bill Walsh, the San Francisco 49ers
will be a force in the NFL next
year. And into the next decade.
Although Walsh might resign as
coach and just handle front-office
duties, the 49ers’ organization is
strong enough to survive and
prosper. Just ask die man himself.
"The only way a team wins is
dirough continuity of the organiza-
tion," Walsh said Monday, hours
after the 49ers beat Cincinnati 20-
lb for their third Super Bowl title
of the decade. “If, you’re strug-
gling, get better players, don’t just
change coaches.
“People with the right chemistry
all participate together and are in-
volved in the decisions. We have
worked well logedter for years. I
think our staff is as good as any.”
But it could be changing. Walsh
has coached for 31 yean, the last
10 with the 49ers. Although he says
he remains enthusiastic, he likely
won’t stay on die bench.
Defensive coordinator George
Seifert is one of die rising assistant
in the league and. Walsh said, “I
hope he’s a head coach (next year).
He sure deserves it"
Docs he deserve the chance in
San Francisco? If Walsh does step
down as coach, a main proviso
could be that Seifert takes over.
The 49ers have made the
playoffs die last six years, even
though they’ve been challenged by
either die Rams or Saints
throughout that span. The NFC
West is die conference’s Unifies!
division and will get tougher for the
Niners.
"The problem with an extended
season, with the extra five weeks, is
dial you become emotionally
spent, Walsh said. “If* lough to
generate that enthusiasm again. The
opposition is aware of it and wants
to play you desperately. Don’t you
think die Saints and Rams and Fal-
cons are gearing up to get at us be-
cause they think they're better than
us?”
No team has been better than die
49ers in this decade, of course,
even though they haven’t won con-
secutive Super Bowls. And no
Quarterback has been more success-
ful in the '80s than Joe Montana.
This victory was especially
gratifying for die 10-year veteran,
who has a new contract, guaranteed
for three years, that pays him $2.5
million a season.
“This was really sweet after
where we were earlier in the year,”
said Montana, die engineer of the
remarkable 92-yard drive to glory
against Cincinnati. "When we were
6-5 and had lost two really tough
games, you couldn't even imagine
this."
It’* hard to imagine the 49ers
without Walsh and Montana at the
helm. But with Steve Young, one of
the Niners' best athletes, as his un-
derstudy. Montana will have to face
even more
questions

Bengals cheered loudly on jeturn
CINCINNATI (AP) — Cincinnati Bengal* wide receiver Cris Col-
I ins worth has come up short in two attempts at winning a Super Bowl, but
he still hopes for another chance.
He was among a Bengals' delegation cheered loudly Monday at a city-
sponsored homecoming as the team returned from Miami and Sunday's 20-
16 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl
“I don't know how many more chances I'm going id get k> bring a
championship here, but I hope to get a few more. You people are the
greatest in the world. Thank you very much.” said CoOmswona, who has
been with the Bengals since 1981 and turns 30 on Friday.
The Bengals' loss Sunday was their second to the 49er» in the only two
Super Bowls in which Cincinnati has played. San Francisco beat Cmcia-
nati 26-21 in January 1982 in the Super Bowl at Ptnriac, Mich.
Will Cary be a Longhorn, Horned Frog, Razorback or Cardinal?
Officially, Cary Horton still has an open mind as he makes his
football recruiting visits.
Unofficially, his heart belongs to the Longhorns. At least, that’s
what he's whispering to friends.
The Wildcat football and baskethall standouL with a competitive
heart the sine of Ifcxas, has already visaed the University of Texas
and Ifexat Christian University. He’D go to Fayetteville next weekend
to look over the University of Arkansas.
That will leave him with two more recruiting visits, if he chooses,
under NCAA rules. One of those two may be Palo Alto. Calif.. where
Stanford is siluated. Houston, strapped with an NCAA probation, and
Northeast Louisiana also want Cary to come acalling.
"If Cary had to make a choice right now. he’d pick Ibxaa. He
liked Austin," a friend remarked.
When we talked with Horton last Friday night, an the eve of his
visit to TCU, he insisted his mind was still open. I’m not leaning
anywhere," he said.
Those dose to the family say his mother and dad would like to see
Cwy go to TCU for a couple of reasons. The Hortons are snpreased
with Jim Stacker and Fort Worth is closer to home than Austin,
ville or Pak> Aho.
liked what be saw of Austin and he liked Longhorn coach
David McWilliams, who may drop by for a visit with the heady
defensive back later this week.
Look for Arkansas to make a big push for Cary’s signature on a
football scholarship worth some $15,000, a year. Farmer Wildcat
quarterback Fred McGill, who figures to play a lot at running back
for the Razorbacks next season, is ringing up Cary quite often.

west coast makes apush far young Horton, he’ll probably be hearing
from his sister more often in the weeks ahead.
But will mom and dad want two offsprings so far from home?
How often can they see Cary play if he goes to Stanford?
Tint sly recruiting fax over at Fart Worth, the charming Jim
Wacker, will push that point hard, no doubt Horned Frog football is
only a short hop away for the Hortons if Cary picks TCU.
As the clock winds down closer to signing date, the recruiting calls
will nearly overwhelm the Horten telephone for a couple of hours
each evening. You can bet on that
