Tom Landry wiki page is awesome

Three Super Bowl appearances in 4 years, and 5 out of 9.

How's Jerry Jones doing right now? 1 playoff win in 18 years ???
 
Not even the great Tom Landry can win without a QB. The organization was not prepared for Danny White's premature demise. Thats why Jimmy's first order of business was acquiring QB's.

I never knew he served in the millitary. Guy had hell of a career,

Took Jimmy 3 tries to finally get Aikman, and he has Jerry to thank for that. LOL

Tried to recruit him to Oklahoma State, even went to his house in Henrietta personally, Troy went to Oklahoma. But Jimmy's team broke Aikman's leg [I wonder sometimes about that..j/k]
Switzer changed offensive style, so Aikman transferred to UCLA, Jimmy tried to recruit him to Miami during that time.
Jerry buys the Cowboys, names Jimmy Coach, so Jimmy drafts Troy.
 
Growing up Landry was an inspiration of how the game should be played and how to conduct yourself as a person on and off the field. I was lucky enough to hear him speak at a Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

I am 43 years old and thought I knew most stuff about the Legend. Still learning.
