[RonWashington]

Think of Tom shirt tie jacket slacks fedora . Then this yrs SB NFCE coach looks like he slept in that outfit .

I still miss watching Cowboys games and seeing Tom standing there on the sideline. A true Cowboy legend. Nothing but class.

Always appreciated Coach Landry being such a positive role model.
Admired the way he walked out his Faith .

Where did Schultz coach ?

Really? Two legends died the same day. One coached football. The other included it in his cartoons/comic strips. That's all.

Imagine if Landry was required to wear what they have to wear today. I can’t even see it.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

and 25 years later we have Dak telling the world we are on par with the Iggles, close to winning it all...and play competitive games against them...SMH

The Athletic has the Cowboys at No. 18 in its 2025 power rankings.

Nah . Can’t see Tom dressed like that with the cameras on . It’s Sunday . Pat Summerall & Tom Brookheiser . CBS .

Wouldn't work.

Thati's true, but there is a powerful argument we haven't come close to replicating him or the Americas team feeling since then

hard to disagree with your take

"The secret to winning is constant, consistent management."

"Setting a goal is not the main thing. It is deciding how you will go about achieving it and staying with that plan."

"If you are prepared, you will be confident and will do the job."

"I don't believe in team motivation. I believe in getting a team prepared so it knows it will have the necessary confidence when it steps on a field and be prepared to play a good game."

Remember that one year when Jack Del Rio started wearing suits on the sidelines? And the NFL made him stop? I believe it was the NFL, but now, honestly, I can't remember. LOL

Yes. I had forgotten about that.

Landry was iconic! A man with class.

The league has some real ***clowns.

There should be nothing offensive or non-standard with a cultural standard of respect like a suit. Now if it was a clown suit I could get that, but common sense should be able to prevail here.

A nice suit jacket with an offical NFL pin on the lapel like the Cowboys emblem should suffice. This is not that hard folks.

The NFL signs those contracts to get as much money as possible and the companies want 100% compliance.
common sense loses every time money is concerned

Wouldn't work.

Landry looks like he has a lot of thoughts to share.

Just for conversation sake: What is it exactly about the game that passed him by?

 

[gimmesix]

while true, had this board existed in 1989, people would have been ecstatic to see him go, we hadn't won a playoff game since 1982, had miased the playoffs 4 of 5 years, and the game had passed him by.

Not sure it would have if Dallas had been able to draft Montana like it wanted to do. Starting QBs like Hogeboom and Pelleur will make it look like the game has passed you by in a hurry.

 

[mrmojo]

Mike Nolan wore a suit when he coached for Niners right? His dad also becauss of Tom.

John Madden in Oakland had the short sleeve white shirt look with pens in the pocket .
