Roman Gabriel, the former pro quarterback, says he is resigning as head football coach at California Poly-Pomona, because nobody will tell him if the school intends to continue playing football. During his professional career, he was a star with the Los Angeles Rams and the Philadelphia Eagles.
But in three seasons as coach at Pomona, things were not so cheery: His team won 8 games and lost 24, and this season lost 10 of 11 games. But Gabriel, 42 years old, says that he is more troubled because he has ''a gut feeling'' that football will be dropped. ''I have been trying to get an answer for five weeks,'' he says, ''and, when the president told me he wouldn't make a decision until next week, I submitted my resignation.''
Gabriel adds that he has been in touch with the Boston Breakers of the new United States Football League about a job as offensive coordinator under Coach Dick Coury.
