The greatest coaching staff ever in Cowboys history; or did Jimmy just get lucky?

[GimmeTheBall!]

Me good lads, friends of Edgar Buchanon, failed contractor and roofing adjustors:

I pose to you, the unwashed and hungry for my analysis, a question.
What in your mind is the greatst Cowboys coaching staff?

Some from the middle last century might say Landry, Ernie Stoutner,
Dick Nolan, Raymond Berry, Dan Reeves, Gene Stallings, Mike Ditka, and John Mackovic was the greatest assemblage of coaching talent, and I might agree. (But this gathering was done over 30 years; Jimmy did his thing in 5 years.)

But then came Jimmy, ridiculed that he wouldn't be playing the Eastern Carolinas of the world anymore, he didn't know NFL workings, etc. ad nauseum. Even made fun of his helmet-like hair. Blimey!
But Jimmy made them eat their words and assembled, as it seems in me crowded, echo-y mind, the greatest tight-knit coaching staff in our history in 1993.
Look at this list from 1993, lads and solar panel grifters, the coaching greatness we shant see again in our lifetimes.
Or am I just romanticizing this era?
*As gleaned from Wilipedia:

• Offensive coordinator – Norv Turner
• Running backs – Joe Brodsky
• Wide receivers – Hubbard Alexander
• Tight ends - Robert Ford
• Offensive line – Hudson Houck

Defensive coaches

• Defensive coordinator – Butch Davis
• Defensive line – John Blake
• Defensive backs – Dave Campo
• WHERE IS DAVE WANNSTEDT ???

Special teams coaches

• Special teams – Joe Avezzano
• Kicking/offensive and defensive quality control – Steve Hoffman

Strength and conditioning

• Strength and conditioning – Mike Woicik

Is this a list of assistant coaching rock stars or not?

Holla and brings me a dollar.

Are you asking if Jimmy Johnson was better than Tom Landry?

Maybe. Longevity has to enter into this, though. Unfortunately for Jimmy, Tom Landry did it year after year for a long time.

Are you looking for just names for any one year of coaching? I suppose we would have to look at who Parcells assembled in 2005 then.

I think Tuna assembled a highly professional staff during his short tenure here as well. His staff had a lot of reputable names here who all enjoyed different levels of success both with previous teams to Dallas and afterwards.
He didn't win a ring but its the last time there was a drastic culture change that is still missing since he left. He drafted a lot of good players that set the team up for future success.

He left it better than it was when he came that's for sure and his 2007 team is still my fave since the 90s glory teams.

I know Wade coached it but it was Parcells guys.

What i like about Jimmy and all those coaches assembled there was that everyone knew Jimmy was HC, and Jimmy just hired great assistant coaches, OC and DC and let them do their jobs. Everyone stayed in their lanes, wow what a concept.......... And that included Jerry.... until of course you know what happened. Got nuked, and we are still living in nuclear winter.

Tom Landry had the Greatest coaching staff in Cowboys history

 

[cityochamps]

Not lucky IMO, Jimmy was the master when it comes to assessing and assembling talent both players and coaches. I could argue that Landry, who hired the likes of Mike Ditka, Dan Reeves, John Mackovic, Gene Stallings, Raymond Berry and others could be considered in the mix for greatest staffs.


Oh wait, don't forget about this guy??

Sure they were a great staf..together with that GM....what did they do on thier own to make any other teams great? That doesnt mean they were not good but it does point to how the "Time and Place" thing makes alot of coaches/players the best ever.

 

[Tractor1]

Tony Wise was the offensive line coach under Johnson I liked the most.

Dave Wannesdat was LB and DC. Jimmy Johnson last staff hire was actually Mike Zimmer (Jerry and Switzer finalized it after Jimmy was fired). Tony Wise was the OL coach before Hauck.

However, Tom Landry had Dikta, and Reeves on his staff and that gives you 1 Super Bowl Championship, and 5 Super Bowl appearances by his staff members in the position of Head Coach of NFL teams. Gene Stallings led Bama to a College Football Championship as HC. Also, Ernie Stautner and Jerry Tubbs was with Landry for those 29 years. Jim Meyers the OL coach was on the staff for 26 years. So Landry had the better staff.

Interesting fact about Tubbs is that the Cowboys from the beginning of the franchise 1960 until 1984 only had 3 Middle linebackers...Jerry Tubbs, Lee Roy Jordan, and Bob Breunig. They had only 2 RDT...Mr. Cowboy Bob Lilly and the Manster Randy White.

I know Wade coached it but it was Parcells guys.

I would think that the rude and crude Tuna knew a network of good coaches, I just canna think of any Parcells-era guys who come to mind.
Strange, yes. (Strange like what is in ranching's chicken coop and chem shed. Strange like what my ex-girlfriend Beyonce saw in JayZ and not in me.)

But the Jimmy era conjures le images of GREAT assistant coaches who went on to flop in the NFL and the East Carolinas of the uncivilized world.

Oddly enough, most fans are OK with almost-rans with 9-7 or 10-7 seasons and stuck in the midrounds of the draft.
Any franchise QB or DE is definitely not in our future.

NO.

Me dudes.
This is not Landry vs. Jimmy.
It is about the greatest assistant-coaches staff.

You are right and Landry had better assistant coaches than Jimmy did. Landry was 1 game away from the Lombardy being called The Landry

Awww ... Landry dances like an old lady.

 

[Bobhaze]

Tom Landry’s coaching staff included, HOFer Ernie Stautner, HOFer Mike Ditka, HOFer Raymond Berry, and HOF finalist Dan Reeves, and future Texas A&M and Alabama HC Gene Stallings, to name a few.

Landy's staff over the course of, what, 30 years?

What happened roughly from 1990-93 is extraordinary, fleet lad, absolutely extraordinary!

i'll take the one that gives me tom landry as the head coach...and ernie stautner on the sidelines with his utility belt.
