PRO FOOTBALL DAILY REPORT : AROUND THE NFL : Viking Owner Says He Wants Holtz

Lou Holtz says he wants to finish his coaching career at Notre Dame. Wheelock Whitney, part owner of the Minnesota Vikings, hopes to change his mind.

“Lou is No. 1 on my list,” Whitney said. “He’s a friend of mine, he’s a terrific competitor and I’m for him. . . . I think he’s ready to take one more coaching job in his career, and he would like to have one more shot in the NFL. I think he deserves it and I’d like to see that shot come with the Minnesota Vikings.”

Jerry Burns is expected to quit as Viking coach after the season.

Holtz said Sunday during a conference call with reporters that he wouldn’t coach anywhere but Notre Dame.

Kansas City Chief running back Harvey Williams was robbed at gunpoint by three men who stole his 1991 Mercedes-Benz, his watch, his Sugar Bowl ring and about $800 in cash.

Police said 24-year-old John R. Sneed of Kansas City was arrested and charged Tuesday in Jackson County Circuit Court with first-degree robbery, armed criminal action and tampering.

“It happened so fast. It was like everything you see in the movies,” Williams said.

Charges of rape and false imprisonment will be filed today against San Francisco 49er safety Greg Cox in connection with an alleged attack on a 21-year-old woman he met at a Monterey restaurant. Cox, 26, was waived by the 49ers on Tuesday, but the team said that the move was “a football decision, period.”

Cleveland Brown wide receiver Danny Peebles remained in a Houston hospital for tests after suffering a neck injury during Sunday night’s loss to the Oilers. Peebles, 25, momentarily lost feeling in his arms and legs when he was hit by Bubba McDowell on an incomplete pass near the end of the third quarter. The Browns placed Peebles on injured reserve Tuesday and said they expect him to sit out the rest of the season.
