You stated that going to them even if you lose is better than not going, ergo you stated Landry's 2-3 in SBs was better than Johnson's 2-0 iirc.
IIRC? Seriously? It's just a few posts up there: all you had to do is scroll. I said, "it's a completely apples-to-oranges comparison." Why do you want to pin some bumper-sticker type statement on me?
Johnson was only the coach of the Cowboys for 5 seasons and he started with a horrible team. He did an incredible job of building them up, and he won two Super Bowls. Then he was gone.
Landry was the coach for decades and managed to keep them playing at a high level through many transitions, at least until his last few years.
Landry got to 5 Super Bowls in 29 years. That's pretty incredible. Johnson got to 2 Super Bowls in 5 years. Also pretty incredible.
It's almost impossible for me to compare those legacies, and I don't care to try.
I will say this, if it will make you happy. Let's look at the Cowboys vs. the 49ers.
In the Cowboys' best 5 years, they won the SB. Same with the 49ers.
In the Cowboys' 6th best year, they lost the SB. Same with the 49ers.
In the Cowboys' 7th and 8th best years, they lost the SB. The 49ers didn't even make it to the SB. The Cowboys' 7th and 8th best years were better than the 49ers' 7th and 8th best years. The Cowboys' top 8 seasons were better than the 49ers' top 8 seasons.
