Sharpe Named Virginia Tech Football Coach in 5 Year Deal
Jim Sharpe, longtime Bryant assistant, was named Virginia Tech head football coach on a five year contract, tasked with rebuilding the defense after a 12-9 season and Coffey’s resignation. He will overhaul the kicking game and offense while assembling a staff in Blacksburg. Local notes say Tech must replace most of Coffey’s assistants and salvage a program that finished 4-7 in 1971 and 6-4-1 in 1972 with a bleak 1973 outlook.

Colts Get Big Break In Draft
The Baltimore Colts landed defensive lineman John Dutton of Nebraska after the San Diego Chargers shifted plans in the first round. Colts GM Joe Thomas said Dutton’s size and activity fit the team’s needs better than running back Matthews of Colorado, and noted Dutton would likely play right defensive end at about 255 pounds. Thomas had talked with Dutton and his agent before the draft amid pre draft interest in Ed Too Tall Jones, but anticipated both players would be selected earlier. Jones was chosen by the Dallas Cowboys on the first round.
