Shots on goal by Toronto 4 5 7-16 Washington 12 19 11-42 John Korobanik Welcome, Hugh Campbell, to the losers’ side. That’s not a familiar spot for the most successful coach in Canadian Football League history, so perhaps a short course on the “loser’s syndrome" is in order. After all, it was that same syndrome which cost Campbell his head coaching job with the National Football League’s Houston Oilers. The loser’s syndrome. We often hear it associated with teams, but is there really such a thing, or is it merely an excuse for failure? Sports pyschologists agree the loser’s syndrome does exist in the minds of players, fans, coaches and management. And if it’s in their minds, it can become reality. “Don’t look for any mysticism.” cautions John Hogg of the University of Alberta. “The key thing is frustration.” The frustration of losing destroys players’ confidence and self-image and saps their incentive to perform. It also drains management's patience. “Management begins to feel it has to turn things around immediately.” says Hogg. “The coach takes the blame and sometimes that just perpetuates the frustration. “Look at Hugh Campbell. What the hell is that going to achieve, with so few games left?” Campbell was a good person for the Houston job — at the time. He was a proven winner and had the patience, understanding and ability to correct the Oilers’ problems. “It’s like an assembly line,” says Hogg. "When everyone is doing their job correctly, there’s a good final product. “When someone in the line does something incorrectly, it creates problems for the whole line. Trying to stop the losing syndrome is a long-term process. You have to have time and patience to go down the assem- bly line, go to each individual and show them how to do it right.” By firing Campbell, Houston’s management has further entrenched the club’s problems. Cal Botterill, a sports psychologist at the University of Winnipeg, says management must stress the positives, not the negatives, to help instill confidence that success will be achieved through small triumphs. Campbell, who coached the Edmonton Eskimos to an unprecedented five consecutive Grey Cup championships, was giving Houston those small victories. In the two seasons prior to Campbell’s arrival, the Oilers had won a total of three games. In Campbell’s first season, with 11 rookies playing, Houston won three games. This year, with 12 more rookies, they were 5-9 and had been robbed of one more victory by an official’s decision, for which the league apologized. Apparently, that wasn’t enough. So today, Campbell knows the feeling experienced by former coaches of teams like the CFL’s Saskatchewan Rough-riders and Calgary Stampeders and the National Hockey League’s Toronto Maple Leafs and Pittsburgh Penguins. Each are losing teams with a long list of fired coaches. As frustration is the key in development of a loser’s syndrome. leadership and patience are vital for recovery. Hogg says Saskatchewan, which has missed the playoffs nine straight years, is an example of where patience is needed. “You have to get two things in place at one time,” he says. “Saskatchewan had the good coach at one time and the good players at another time. “They don’t seem to be able to wait for each other.” Leadership can come from a highly-skilled player or one with the ability to keep failure in perspective, knowing that with perserverance, success will come. "You see how good athletes have learned not to dwell on mistakes or scoreboard results.” says Botterill. "And by so doing, make themselves much less prone to this losing-syndrome, winning-syndrome sort of thing that engulfs far too many of them."

Herzeg fired Campbell on Monday and started a search Tuesday for the 14th head coach in the 26-year history of the National Football League franchise. Campbell signed a three-year contract with the Oilers on Jan. 3, 1984 and a short time later, the Oilers signed quarterback Warren Moon to a five-year, $5.5-million contract. Moon and Campbell had teamed to win five Grey Cups with the Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian Football League before signing with the Oilers. Asked if signing Campbell was a ploy to attract Moon, Herzeg replied, “Obviously.” Herzeg said defensive co-ordinator Jerry Glanville, named interim head coach, would be named head coach if the Oilers win their final two games of the season, both on the road. The Oilers, who have won only three of their past 34 road games, close their season with games at Cleveland and Indianapolis. ‘‘Considering what our road record has been in recent years, if he wins the last two games, he deserves to be the head coach,’’ Herzeg said. Herzeg will be searching for his fourth head coach in five years as general manager. He has been criticized as not giving Campbell enough time to turn the Oilers around. Herzeg criticized Campbell’s offensive game plans and thought the head coach should have done more with the team he had assembled. ‘‘I personally have paid a helluva price the past 4‘/2 years for a good, young talented football team,” Herzeg said. ■ If Hugh Campbell wants to return to the Canadian Football League. Earl Lunsford would like to talk to him. “If he's interested. I'd certainly be interested in him." said Lunsford, general manager of the Calgary Stampeders.
