Default Hey Tom, we miss you.
I can't believe it's been 6 years our coach has been gone from us 2.12.2000. He's the reason this team is what it is. Why a lot of us are fans of the Cowboys. 29 years as the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. 13 division titles, 5 super bowls and 2 world championships. You don't find coaches better then that.

Tom Landry is the best thing that ever has or ever will happen to the Dallas Cowboy franchise.

Tex Scram as well, but Landry was the top of the hill.

Sometimes a story like this falls through the cracks, I didn't want this to happen to him. He brought me a lot of joy watching his coach our Cowboys. It's the least I could do for such a great coach and man.

ya know, there was simply a sense of calm ya got whenever the camera would show Landry on the sidelines...

He is sorely missed.
RIP Santiago

I cannot begin to express how much Tom Landry meant to me. As a young boy in the 60s watching him on the sidelines he showed me what it was to be a man. Whenever people talk about whatever the hot team is being "America's Team" they just don't get that it wasn't about winning so much as it was about the character represented by the team and in particular Tom Landry.

I miss him and I want to thank you for starting this thread to help me remember.
Captain Nathan Brittles: "Only the man who commands can be blamed. It rests on me... mission failure!"

"Jerry Jones is a billionaire fan who bought his own team for the express purpose of buying his way into the game. He wants to hang out with the players, stand in front of the cameras, be the face of the team (yech), make personnel moves as if this were a video game, and more than anything else, be seen as the guy who made it all happen."

When the new stadium is built, his name HAS to be associated with it somehow.

I will never forget, the man in the hat. Thanks for the thread.

This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray,
Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and
Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8.
