Coaching Success

[sportsman]

As a Cowboys fan...now that I have plenty of time now. I was thinking how many Dallas assistant coaches that left the organization have become successful head coaches. I know Payton is one of them...but please name at least 2 more.

Dan Reeves was pretty successful. Mike Ditka.

Not too many though when you think about it.

Who was the longtime Landry assistant who failed as HC of the St. Louis Cardinals, then went to Alabama and had a bit of success? Don't remember his name. Real tall guy. Ex-player I believe.

Beat me to it.

Dick Nolan could be considered. So could Raymond Barry. Both spent some time learning a few things from Landry.

Gene Stallings

Depends on how we're defining success. If it's head coaching a Super Bowl winning team, no. If it's getting multiple teams to winning playoff games, sure. Sounds like basically the former is applicable in this thread, which severely limits who is "successful."
