No disrespect intended to Jimmy. He was great. But IMO, his resume’ cannot be compared to Tom Landry as being equal or better. Landry’s coaching career was transformational. Jimmy did a lot in 5 years as HC. He’s the second best coach we ever had. He was the only HC who knew how to work effectively with Jerry. But Tom Landry stands alone in his greatness.What Jimmy accomplished is extremely rare in professional sports.
He took a team with extremely minimal talent and built it into a team that won 2 SBs in his 5 years and another one with his players.
Most coaches that have early success inherited drastically more overall talent than what Jimmy had to work with.
Jimmy 2 SB wins in 5 years.
Landry 2 SB wins in 29 years.
