And let's not forget, Coach Landry was also a WW II B-17 bomber pilot in Europe. A Great Man.
Tom Landry brought Football into the Modern Era..Period.
Today's modern era sucks. Boring, pass happy garbage, that only excels because of the "touch football rules", against playing defense.
He brought us the basic 4-3 defense and the shotgun.
The 4-3 the flex and the Shotgun. Plus the Landry Shift.
A lot of teams use to shift. Weeb Ewbanks teams use to do it also.
@@Boomhower89
1. Weeb Ewbanks rarely shifted. Especially when he was at the Jets.
2. Shifting in football has been going on for a very long time, well before Landry. For some reason, the Cowboys just made it popular. 🤷🏾♂️
@@playdave3476 he was prior to my time I just recall watching his Jets team and they shifted that game. It was on TH-cam. Thanks for the info.
@@Boomhower89
I'm not saying Weeb Ewbanks never shifted, after all, the very first play the Jets ran in Super Bowl 3 was a shift. Weeb used the shift very rarely, compared to the cowboys (and the KC Chiefs who I believe were the originals of that type of shift), they were doing it every down.
Cowboys still do it today for one play.
Victory formation.
4-3 was the Bears. Bill George.
Tom Landry was D.C. of the NY Giants at the same time Vince Lombardi was the O.C.. Could you imagine those practices. The future of football every practice
I heard when they left 4 hc jobs they exchanged playbooks... & Landry threw out Lombardi's O .. lol...
@@ll-SNARL-ll LMAO. shotgun, enough said. Landry also invented 3-4 defense. Jim Brown used to hit the hole so quick, Landry stood up a down lineman and had him play a few steps back of L.O.S..
Jim Brown was a fre ad k of Nature But, still, Landry did Lombardi's job.
Don't think EITHER men would put up with the cowardly kneelers today
No one is a cowardly kneeler Colin Kaepernick has more bravery then you will ever know giving up millions to stand up to the unjustice of police brutality by taking a knee during the national scamthem
Go Cowboys !
I had Tom Landry sign his autobiography for me
@@randyrai1970 kapernik was washed up already when he pulled that crap.
Do I miss those days of football!!!
I became a fan in 1968
Best Coach the NFL ever had in it.
He was the greatest X`s and O `s coach in the history of football , that`s for sure !
My favorite football coach. PERIOD.
Paul Brown and Coach Landry. Neck and neck. IMO. Brilliant football minds.
I agree !
It was definitely fun watching the Cowboys during the 70's. Landry's teams were always the best prepared unit. I miss those Sunday afternoons listening to Summerall and Brookshier.
I don’t care who was playing. If Pat & Tom were calling the game, I was watching that game. Used to love This Week in Pro Football.
You said it Jose.
Pat Summerall and Tom Brookshier we're the golden voices of my NFL Sundays growing up.
Back when the NFL was my fixture on Sundays, and it was fun to watch. Today, I haven't watched an NFL game in several years. And living in Seattle at that time it was great, A 10 am NFL game for breakfast and one at 1 pm for lunch.
Yeah, man, do I miss those days. Life was much simpler then. And when men were men, not some woke binary pronoun nonsense.
@@MustadMarine 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Landry was a a great football innovator, great game planner and had a masterpiece defense during his time as the Dallas HC. Tho he was mainly a defenseive minded coach, he also was an offensive innovator, had input into the offensive schemes. Most head coaches today don't show that ability. They leave most of the offensive game planning and schemes to the OC. Landry was trily one of a kind, a true foitball legend, greatly immersed in his craft.
Belongs up there with any all-time great Head Coach.
Halas, Brown, Lombardi, Shula, Noll, Walsh, Belichick - Landry is in this conversation.
I remember when the Cowboys first started using the Shotgun formation, and they said that it wouldn't work. Too high of a risk because of the long snap, and the QB had to watch for the ball instead of keeping his eyes down field at the linebackers and secondary. I think "they" may have been wrong, and Landry right. Ya think!??
The always say "it won't work."
The shotgun accorded the QB more time in the pocket on passing plays and cut down on sacks.
The GOAT
Agree 100%.
He opened Super Bowl X by taking the opening kickoff and reversing it to linebacker Thomas Hollywood Henderson, a 4.4 guy, who almost took it to the house. Who does that???? Tom Landry does.
He also ran a half back option pass with the tailback rolling out to his LEFT , in both the ice bowl and superbowl vs Denver . both were td`s ! This day and time , teams don`t even like their QB `s to roll left and throw a pass. lol
Indeed. He wasn’t afraid to open the playbook.
In the '78 Super Bowl vs the Steelers they fumbled the exchange on a reverse flea-flicker that completely changed the momentum of the game negatively for the Cowboys. So there's that.
@@ckobo84
Uhh....no. 😐
I do believe the play you're talking about was the Steelers kicker slipped, Randy White picked up the ball, put the ball in the same hand he had a cast on, and fumbled the ball.
NFL films don't lie. 🤷🏾♂️
Tom Landry built the flex defense and multiple offense to last for the long haul. It worked consistently through multiple decades and many changes in personnel. Emotion was not a factor. It was based on technique. It is true that some coaches were outstanding during the short term when they had superior atheletes for a given period of time. Any good coach can lead HOFers to win over a short term (Lombardi, Noll, Walsh, Gibbs) but it takes the MOST special of coaches to maintain a winner over decades (Halas, Landry, Shula, Belichick).......
Add Andy Reid to that list.
Hopefully Belichick writes a Walsh-level book about his methods. He absorbed so much from prior coaches, but I have to think more so for ones he met. I sense he pulled a lot from Noll and Landry, two very different approaches. Noll focusing on execution and aggressiveness and Landry innovating with players who could adjust quickly.
Well said. Hopefully 10-15 years from now we can add Mike Mccarthy or Kellen Moore to that list
Something forgotten about Landry regarding the draft: He picked the best athlete available when it was their turn. Many players didn't play the position they had in college because of that.
That was Gil Brandt's doing too. He'd scour the country looking for athletes for them to draft. He didn't care where they came from, if they were athletic he was interested.
I remember the Cowboys picking Bob " bullit" Hayes. He was a track star ..not a receiver
He didn't pick Marino in '83.
@@claytonlowry1280 Bob was a track and football star at FAMU.
Tom Landry was the best at keeping things new fresh. I'm 60 yrs old lived 2 blocks from the cowboy practice field. I would watch them every day from a hotel balcony. Tom Landry was a teacher. Tom Landry in my eyes was and is the best coach in football. I miss Tom Landry he was a kind man. He would notice when I was at practice watching. He would point or nod at me with a kind smile. The flex defence was hard. It went against what most players had learned. But it was not hard it challenged your instinct. You had to play your spot and trust you line backers. Line men played off set and read and KEEP your gaps. Not everyone had the talent to preform in the flex. It was simply a masterful defence. And should be used today. With the offence today for can play off the flex in multiple ways and take the quarter back away from his game. Today's. Quarterback will have trouble reading it. Tom Landry would have a field day with his DOOMSDAY DEFENCE. Yes Tom Landry made the 4-3 cover 1 the Flex the way dbs played the pass the shot gun on offence let the running back set back a little deeper to read his block. Tom Landry was simply the best coach in pro football and always will be in my eyes.
I recall the players griping about it because you weren't allowed to be too aggressive. You had to control you area.
Great insight there brother. Also great about Landry looking up at you from the practice field. Thanks.
Actually Landry didnt invent the shotgun but he did reserect it. Ive read the shotgun was first used by San Fran. 49ers.
The old Holiday Inn there at Abrams and 635?
Nobody can compete with Belichicks rings, and yes, Tom Landry only won two, but man, his teams were ALWAYS right there at the end of the postseason, and it almost always took a historically good team to beat him. Look at that 70s Steelers team. NOBODY could move the football against them. Tom Landry did. The guy was a genius, and SO far ahead of his time.
Maybe he didnt invent the shotgun, but he brought it back. He invented the 4-3 for crying out loud lol. He invented motion by WRs. These are HALLMARKS of the game of football. Id put Belichick at one, and Tom Landry at two.
Landry is almost forgotten in todays football, but you ser his prints everywhere. From looking dapper on the sidelines, to the use of computers, and simple calculations of odds. Landry is without a doubt one of the 3 best and most influential coaches. Not just in the NFL, but American sports history. The only one who is even in his wake is Bill Belichick. Bill, once he hangs it up, will join those American coaching icons. In fact you could say Bill is the Tom Landry of his day.
btw...this is a former Redskins fanatic. I hated the Cowboys, but it was mostly out of respect for what they were about. They embodied everything Texas stands on and for, and Landrys Cowboys will forever be etched in my mind that gets me riled up to talk 70's n 80's football. The greatest period the NFL ever h had.
You had me leaning until the comparison came into the mix Belichick wears on Sunday ,Monday -Saturday at practice yes a damn good coach that if you don't keep not one but as many eyes as you can on him because he will do what Tom Landry never done to put a blemish on his reputation, Cheating
@@aladdinsmith3469 Yeah, Bill did cheat, but if you really analyze it, You could say Landry cheated with the computers. Its all about perspective. A lot of coaches had spies. They just didn't get caught. George Allen was so afraid that he had spies looking for the spies. Hahaha
@@spryfolII Using a computer was not prohibited in the NFL when Landry was a head coach. Belichick requested permission from the league to record from the sidelines, and was refused- and he did it anyway. Big difference. Belichick is one of the greatest coaches to ever coach an NFL team. He is also a 'known' cheat. He'll have an asterisk placed next to his name from now on.
Tom Landry remind me of a General on the battlefield executing a strategy to defeat the enemy Tom Landry was Absolutely brilliant to the ways that he orchestrated his attack from the defense to the offense. Absolutely Brilliant and long Live shotgun . Long live Tom Landry.🎓
He had a knack of outsmarting the opposing head coach.
I remember the flex defensive. It was easy to notice it, with 2 lineman up close, and 2 backed away. I always thought it was for giving the flexed lineman a better chance at pursuing outside and therefore just containing an interior run. I never knew it was for protecting the MLB from angle blocks from linemen. Very interesting.
So was a great coach
When I played back in HS in the 70's we called it Monster Man or Roving linebacker. Although it wouldn't always be the middle linebacker, it could include a cornerback. We also run a 3/4 defense depending. Landry was a man ahead of his time.
If he had the technology we have today, he would be unbeatable. He would have Belicheck in fits.
Don't forget, he's 11 points away from winning 5 Super Bowls in 10 years. SB V was lost on a poor Craig Morton pass to Dan Reeves. SB X? Had Preston Pearson gone out of bounds, they probably score on that last drive. Number 13 was just a confluence of crap luck. Still, he game the Steel Curtain fits.
Bellichik is actually very similar to Landry.
@@TommyRibs Belicheck stole alot from Landry.
@@petergarcia589
Nothing wrong with that. It is one of the great things about coaching and teaching the game.
@@petergarcia589 If you're The Giants defensive coordinator at the time. To game plan you're getting schooled by Laundry.
Inmortal The GENIUS of Tom Landry..forever.. 🔥💕💪🌞
Check out the book "Next Year's Champions," page 239, Bob Lilly says, "He (Landry) said he gets reports every day from people all over town that Cowboy players are out drinking and living it up. What he (Landry) doesn't know is, a man has to drink to be able to stand him.". 🤔🤨🧐🙁☹️🖕
"The GENIUS of Tom Landry?!!"
In 1971, Landry decided to rotate his quarterbacks (Morton and Staubach), in Chicago.
The Cowboys lost that game 23-19, to Bobby Douglas and the Bears, when "idiot Morton" threw an interception, in the last seconds!!
"The Big Brain on Top" said, "exotic plays" not "gadget plays."
WOW!!!
Does anybody remember Morton losing to Dallas, when he (Morton) played with the Broncos, and Staubach beat their ass?!!
Landry was "an ego-idiot," just like Trump!!
Tom Landry what an innovating professional football coach yes a genius we see nowadays a man well ahead of football and our times l recall the only team that lined up in the shotgun formation was Landry's Cowboys back in the days now just about all pro teams offensive plays are run out of the shotgun formation I'll say 80% of the time college a little less depending on the system hell it quite a few running plays out of the shotgun. I once knew the reason why his offensive lineman always stood straight up prior to the 3/4 point stance which made defensive jump across the line and make it back across before the snap many times.The flea flicker halfback Dan Reeves threw some key touchdowns when he didn't flip it back to the qb.Coach Landry just couldn't beat my Lombardi's Packers I'll never forget watching in black and white the Ice Bowl in Green Bay below zero degrees they played I'm home in front of a fan circulating warm air trying to stay cool the Cowboy lead most of that game until Bart Starr sneaked across on final play for the win .Jerry Jones and the NFL did some shitty things to coach Tom Landry yes it was Jones team to do whatever ,the things Tom did for the game we see now days was Tom Landry's first.coach Landry God Bless ,deserved better respect my hat off in respect to one hell of a football coach and gentlemen always clean (well dressed)for the occasions.
You're the gentleman and a great football fan Aladdin.
🙌Only Tom "Legend" Landry💯
Just watched SB 10 and the shift is cool
Watch both Superbowl`s with Pitt`s vs Chuck Noll. look at some of the moves these two great coaches made ! they were both FEARLESS !
My two biggest sports heroes growing up were Tom Landry and Dean Smith. I didn't even know why at the time but it's obvious to me now that it was because of the way their innovative minds drew up and executed game plans. That and the fact that they always carried themselves with class on the sidelines or basketball court.
In basketball 🏀, I loved the triangle 🔺️ offense. First taught by tex winter, later adopted by Phil Jackson. It was a very complex system. system.
I wanted to mention former assistant coach and scout Red Hickey might have convinced Landry to use the shotgun.
There's a tear in my eye from watching this video.
Mine too , I miss Him, The Greatest Coach next to Vince Lombardi.
“Look at the big brain on Tom”. Pulp fiction lol
You are not good at comedy.
Although I can't remember the team they were playing at the time, but they were having a hard time executing their offence. So when Staubach dropped back into the "Shotgun" you could see that it confused the other team and when he completed the pass, it was game over.
Landry didn't invent the shotgun that was the bears I some years before. They used it on almost every play for most of a season with a lot of success until teams learned how to defend against it, what he did was revive it and improve it the way it's still used today. His flex defense was unique never duplicated. So much of the cowboys success was in the amazing players he drafted and the discipline of their training and the dedication to be the best. Only the Steelers edged them out in Superbowl wins during that era
Tom Landry wanted to use the shotgun in the 1960's but Don Meredith never liked it and was very uncomfortable whereas during the 1970's Tom Landry brought back the shotgun unlike Don Meredith Roger Staubach loved the formation because Roger Staubach was able to pick up what the opposing defense was doing
also if l may Roger the dodger was a hell of a scrambling quarterback and l believe a Heisman winner what Tom did in drafting Roger knowing he wouldn't be available until he for filled his naval obligations of 4 years wasn't a risk it was Tom Landry smart which paid off.Nothing against Meredith well a few but who cares Tom Landry made him a better qb.
Bill Walsh wanted to use it and Montana didn't like it either. Kinda dumb.
The guy was a genius. He always seemed so stern, but he was very creative. He was similar to Walsh. Walsh ran a little tighter ship though. Sometimes the Cowboys were a little sloppy. The main difference between the Steelers and Cowboys is the Steelers didn’t beat themselves. If the Cowboys were a little more disciplined like the Niners under Walsh they would have been the team of the 70’s. For instance in the 78’ SB they should have beat the Steelers. All Landry had to do was keep handing the ball of to Dorset and they would have won comfortably. The Steelers had no answer for Toney that day who was in a zone. However Landry went away from hm for some reason. That is something Walsh or even Noll wouldn’t have done. Anyway, great coach and engineer.
I just commented on that SB 13 game, but I don't think it was a lack of discipline. Staubach and Smith have to make that connection. I mean, 43 years later that still stings. It was the bad call on Benny Barnes that really threw the game out of wack. Dallas had stopped 'em and Fred Swearingen made a bad call. But then Dallas had them stopped again, and a motion penalty bailed them out. I've watched highlights and a documentary of that game several times and it's still frustrating.
This was the best football had to offer in the mid 70s into the 80s.
Tom Landry was a master mind when it came to running game winning plays ... The Cowboys should have been more successful in pulling the plays Landry executed ... But they are the Cowboys ... America's Team
They ran that shotgun starting in 1975. It worked immediately. I think Cleveland with Sipe and Minnesora with Tarkenton picked up more with it starting about 79 or so. The 49ers in the 50s ran it sometimes, but just sparingly. Those 49ers also had the original "noted" hail Mary, but they called it the alley oop play at the end of games. Landry just perfected the shotgun.
I'm a Tom Landry-era Dallas Cowboys fan, and began watching pro football in 1964.
There were many good
coaches in the NFL and AFL during the '60s, and also some innovative coaching going on in college ball as well.
Tom Landry was one of those rare coaches that was innovative on BOTH sides of the ball, him having played offense and defense in both college and pro football during the '40s and '50s. Obviously, designing offenses and defenses was just a natural thing for Coach Landry, plus he was a punter, punt-returner, and kick-returner in the college and pro levels, so he was a very astute teacher of special-teams as well.
Coach Landry was also
a devout Christian, and
and tried to instill in his players to follow the teachings of the Bible.
Many of Coach Landry's players tell of his tough training camps, but also of his
father-like talks and discussions with them.

🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈
I still remember when John Madden was beginning as a color analyst, and he and Sumerall covered a Cowboys' game. Dallas was near the opponents' goal and ran Landry's play where the tight end [Doug Cosbie, I'm pretty sure] goes behind the offensive line to the other side and the defense loses him. Madden clearly did not know that play, but Landry had been running it since the early 70's, about 10 years. I remember seeing it in 1971, when Dallas whopped the NY Jets 52-10 in a game they needed, with Washington trying to catch them in the standings.
An era of real men!
Am I the only one who thinks that TE end around to Ditka at the 3:40 mark is a thing of beauty. I love the way both backs dove into the line as the guards pulled around the end to block
Funny how he seems cold and aloof from a distance, but then when you see his face up close he seems very warm and freindly.
Love watching bill explaining football
If not for the Pittsburgh Steelers of the 70's, Landry's Cowboys would have been called the greatest NFL team of all time.
*LOL* - this was pretty good. I had asked "why did the Cowboys players do that type of UP and DOWN shift thing?" I was born in 1966 and we didn't get NFL football until 1970 in Cincinnati and I was just a kiddo. I always wondered why they did that. I knew it LOOKED COOL. Thanks to "Cowboys1959" who responded to my question over on "Dave Volsky's Back Door" channel here on YTube.
He sent me the link to this video. Dave just did (4weeks ago) a good piece on Roger Staubach. Thanks again to COWBOYS1959. I learned something that I had been curious about for years!!! *lol*
As a Vikings fan - I always hated the Cowboys and the Flex Defenses - especially after the Hail Mary game. But I always respected Landry as an elite coach. Good info explaining his innovations.
Great coach, not quite up there with Walsh, Lombardi and Belichick, but man oh man, was that coat he was rocking at the ice bowl, with the fur lined collar on point! 👌🏻
Yes Landry was a great coach, but he also had a heck of a lot of talent, and he knew how to maximize it.
So very much True.
HE WAS THE HC, OC, DC. WHO ELSE DOES THAT? HE DID IT FOR 29yrs! 20 WINNING SEASONS IN A ROW? HE WAS THE BEST EVER! 🤩
He was the greatest brain in football and outthought everybody. His weakness was a lack of understanding of human emotions and motivation. If you look at all the championship games and Super Bowls, he won when his team was clearly better, but if the teams were evenly matched, he lost a lot more than he won.
Drew Pearson has no idea what he's talking about regarding the Flex. Dick Nolan, one of Landry's assistants, installed the Flex at San Francisco and New Orleans. At the former, once he got the talent to fit it, Nolan had one of the best defenses in football. He took the 49ers to two NFC championships. The only problem was he had to face Landry and the Cowboys.
Dick Nolan was an excellent coach and he indeed installed an excellent version of the flex. One big difference between Nolan's team and Landry's team was a man named Staubach.
@@texasstadium Staubach definitely was a difference maker in the 1971 NFC title game and the 1972 divisional playoffs, especially the latter. I really think the 49ers were the better team in that divisional game, but they let up early and allowed Staubach and the Cowboys to grab the late momentum.
No one used the Flex like Landry
I could be wrong, but I do believe the San Francisco 49ers used a form of the Flex Defense during the 1980's. I'm not an expert of defenses. Of course, everyone was enamored with San Francisco's Bill Walsh offense orchestrated by Joe Montana. But San Francisco's 1980's defense looked very similar to Dallas' defense from the 1970's. San Francisco's defense wasn't dominant, but I've seen that defense make big plays and make goal line stands when they had to. San Francisco's 1980's defense was definitely one of the most underrated defenses I've ever watched as a football fan.
Halfback option pass from Dan Reeves to Lantz Rentzel.
The "shotgun formation" started with San Francisco, before the mid-70s.
ALSO TOM LAURDY FLEW B17 BOMBER INTO GERMANY IM SO PROUD OF BROTHER TOM LAURDY HE WILL ALWAYS BE NUMBER ONE AMEN AND AMEN
The Cowboys in the 60's was my heaven. Who was there? Bob Lilly, Walt Garrison, Mike Ditka, Bob Hayes. Lance Rentzel, Don Meredith
Only I wish we could've gotten one from the steel curtain.🇺🇸🏈
Screens. Tom Landry could design some screens.
You need to tell the story of how Landry redesigned his running game to fit Tony Dorsett. ☝🏾
The Landry Cowboys!
Landry also told his players: "If you scoea touchdown, act like you've been there before." THAT is totally missing from the NFL today.
What is left out of most Landry documentary`s is that when the NFL first formed the Dallas Cowboy`s in the early 60`s , they were formed right AFTER the draft ! Landry didn`t even get a draft his first year !
The Landry Shift
His wars with Lombardi catapulted the NFL into the modern era.
Imagine if the NY Giants hadn’t let him go to be head coach of the new franchise the Dallas Cowboys for 29 consecutive years what kind of dynasty the Giants would’ve been!
Amazing that no team uses the flex these days. Not only does it keep linemen off the MLB, it also defends against delayed hand-offs and run option plays--you don't have defensive linemen over-committing and getting trapped or sealed off from the plays.
People believe that Run to daylight stuff and 3 yards and a cloud of dust were the Green Bay Packers but surprisingly they passed a lot take a look at sbowl 1 and 2!!! And it is true Lombardi copied Landrys offense but Landry didn't copy Lombardi on offense or defense!!!! Superbowl 1 250 pass 135 rushing. SB2 203 passing 146 rushing!!!!
He looked like Tommy Newsom, but coached like Doc Severinsen.
He wasn't a "showie" coach, as many have been since. And he didn't tolerate "showie" players. (If someone had tried one of those crazy endzone dances that are so popular now, he wouldn't have stayed on HIS team.) He, and his team, didn't have to get up to wild antics -- they let their performance on the field speak for them.
3:00 - You notice that they never DIRECTLY state that tom Landry invented the Shot Gun, because he didn't, but they want to imply in heavily with the footage and words they chose. The Shot Gun formation was invented and "perfected" by the 49ers Head coach Red Hickey (1959-1963) and it cut apart defences around the league, including the Cowboys, but the 49ers defence was *trash* under Red Hickey and is a big reason why they hired former Dallas Cowboys Defensive Coordinator Dick Nolan (Mike Nolan's father). Tom Landry just copied the shot gun and is given undeserving credit because the Cowboys were playing in Super bowls while the 49ers were losing to Dallas in the Playoffs.
the Landry shift..
The flex was a response to the 60s Green Bay Sweep! Unfortunately, in the 80s, I saw the flex, with its two DL's a yard back, get ran over by John Riggins running straight at it! As for the "shift," that was innovative, in the 70s. However, the Lawrence Taylors of the world were too revolutionary to give a bleep about a shift! Now, the shotgun.......that has stood the test of time!
Great .
This is why football is just leagues better than soccer. It’s not even fair. This game is so complex and smart and people think of it as just big guys smashing into each other (pause)
He willl draw the feet of the players when they step 😅
Like CFL. DL one yard off LOS. Front can read the blocks and OL have to declare their blocks

When Belichick was a young assist coach in the 70`s , with Det , one of their coaches was from the Landry tree. He learned a lot about the Landry way from him.
Tom Landry DID NOT come up with the shotgun. The shotgun formation was invented by former 49ers head coach Red Hickey
Tats right nobody could teach it
As a pilot in ww2 was able to save a b17 bomber and save the men a bard the plane a did save every man on-board the plane
I don't know what school Tom Landry graduated phone must have been a southern School because Arkansas used to have what was called the flexbone
Mission Eagles In Mission Texas deep deep South Texas
He Graduated from the University of Texas with an engineering degree and he was also an All-American Safety at UT. But he took time off to fight in World War II as a B-17 Captain/Pilot for the entire duration of the war before coming back to Austin to get his degree and resume his collegian football career .
CoachTom did not know that he was building America's team.
Tom Landry was the best when jerry jones bought the cowboys i stopped being a fan.
Terry Bradshaw used to say "You beat the Flex by passing on first down". Is there any validity to that?

Back when football was fun to watch. Now...too many rules and egos, make it unbearable to watch. And I stopped in 1999 and switched to baseball. But I don’t know watch it now because there’s no games on TV, unless you pay $$$$ to MLB.
Exactly! When football was football. Baseball has changed also for the worst.
Anyone notice how the thumbnail showed the game was played at cowboys stadium, but the goal post pad read "RAMS"?
Matthew633 was that purposely done by Tom Landry when I played Little League football I would wear the colors of teen moms playing on my socks
That was supposed to be colors of the team
I didn't notice that but can say perhaps the other goal post dangerously planted right in the heart of the end zone had the cowboys name on it not usual for a home field to put the opposing team name on half the field not saying you wrong and I can't.
Matthew633 that’s how they did it back then. The other post said Cowboys.
Didn't the shotgun formation become common after the 2007 patriots used it to advance to superbowl XLII with their high flying offense.
The shotgun started in the 1930's. Then eventually faded away, but Tom Landry brought it back in the mid 70's after that in became common place.
Enseñeselo a los aficionados de los patriotas,para que vean quien era su papa de belishic.
A great coach, but a quarterback killer. He and the Dallas Cowboy fans destroyed Meredith, Morton and White. Only Staubach could win for him and he couldn't beat Pittsburgh. He did support Morton better than Meredith -- he and Staubach said they thought the world of Morton -- but he should have backed Meredith. What he and the Cowboys' fans did to Meredith was unforgiveable. The guy was a GREAT quarterback, everything you would want in one -- talented, tough, smart, intensely competitive, and beloved by his teammates. He gave everything he had.
It says something that Lombardi LOVED Meredith, too. It might have been better for both franchises had they somehow had different quarterbacks. I bet Starr and Meredith would have thrived if Starr was under Landry and Meredith was under Lombardi.
Outcoached by Bill Walsh?
Didn't Tom work with Paul Brown ?
I don`t think he did , but it does look like he took some things from Paul Brown. I know that Belichick said that Paul Brown was his fav coach growing up.
He may own the team, but I will never be a Jerry Jones fan simply because of the way he terminated Tom Landry. It was one of the most classless moves in professional sports history.
What's a "Lig"(LOL)?
This is Cowboys football
Belichek could teach it.
That’s right !!! The best Coach of the Dallas Cowboys OK Clinton At you know I couldn’t touch it I love my dad‘s good with that was a cowboy baby I don’t wanna talk about somebody but eight Tom Landry is the man at the Caballito auto salvage it’s only a bomb Dennis send where is the quarterback no but he lives in Negras players Locos Grandview but I know what I said when you go buddy do you know I didn’t like it do you wanna bring Jimmy John’s dad handle everything up to y’all bye
Whats a flex?
It was a wishbone hybrid
There were so few blacks allowed to play back then. It’s nice to see adequate White representation.
Dick LeBeau had some pretty good defenses with the Pittsburgh Steelers. yeah they were some "pretty good" defenses. what were they called? oh yeah, The Steel Curtain
I know PIT won SB X and XIII, but I'd still argue that the teams were equal. SB 13. Here's how it went down in order. 3rd and 13, Bradshaw throws up a prayer that Benny Barnes loses and Lynn Swann see, but they get their feet tangled up. Pass interference. Bad call.
3rd and 5, Hollywood Henderson sacks Bradshaw and forces a FG try. But wait, there's a motion penalty on PIT. #3rd and 9, Franco breaks it for 22 yards and a score. Bradshaw called a trap, a "terrible call" against the defense said Charlie Waters. But because the ref gets in he way of Waters, Harris strolls in.
Then the kickoff. Roy Gerela slips on approach and knuckles one to Randy White, a D-lineman with a broken arm, wearing a cast. Well, he tries to return it and fumbles. Steelers recover.
Next play, Bradshaw hits Swann for 6.
Dallas would later make up those 2 touchdowns, but the deciding margin? Jackie Smith's drop of a pass where he was so wide open, Staubach kinda' short-armed it.
@@noeltaylor3594 Steelers fan here. While I am glad the Steelers won SB XIII, my heart does go out to Jackie Smith. He was wide, wide open and should have caught that pass from Staubach in the 3Q. I am sure he still thinks of that dropped pass every single day.

LOVE my team, Loved Landry..BUT THE REASONS WHY THEY ARE COMPLIMENTING HIM is the same reason why he had to go. TOO SMART(to see that everyone else is may b smart/can assist/times change). SALUTE that MAN tho👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
No they screwed him over he would’ve won with Aikman and Irvin he had already been building that line...
@@ed2kou1 HE WAS A DINOSAUR and wasn't a proponent of change. THERE WAS HIS WAY, and THERE WAS HIS WAY! He didn't change when the game did.
@@N.a.j.i. The game never passed him up.. They had injuries and some bad drafts...
