News: ESPN: Tom Landrys Coaching Tree

Can't copy the pics but interesting pictorial and some people I didn't know we're on the list.
 
 
Not perfect but you can follow it. Landry is from the NYG tree of Steve Owen really.

No, they have him as a branch from Wade Phillips. I had no idea that being hired in advance of and then backstabbing a coach means you are from their "tree".

Garret a branch from wade?
Lack of accountability, lack of discipline, coddling of players........

Hmmmm now that you mention it, it explains a lot
Sounds about right since he learned under wade for 3 years
This is sure to fire up the natives
 
Back to the original topic, it is remarkable how thin the Landry tree was.

That is one thing about his systems, they were so uniquely his that nobody could duplicate them with any degree of success.

Garrett is a student of Turner who belongs in the Zampese/Coryell/Brown branch. The NFL coaching tree is so incestuous you can't really map it out perfectly. They did that the easy way of putting coaches under the HCs they worked for rather than the coaching tree they actually follow. I just didn't take the time to look up a more accurate one since they all are imperfect. I guess I should have put up a more accurate one. This one just formatted well and others didn't.
 
The Flex is outdated although coaches use other methods for countering the OL trying to control gaps. Landry's tree is definitely not thin IMO. And his influence on the 4-3 and mentoring other coaches is well known.

I agree. He was so involved in every aspect of the team. He had some very good assistants, but he controlled and ran everything on both sides of the ball.
