No other Dallas coach has coached in a 17 game season.

Coach Landry won 11 games 6 seasons in a row, 1976-1981, in a 14 game season for the first two, and then a 16 game season the next 5.

To put this in front of people:
11-3
12-2
12-4
11-5
12-4
6-3 (strike, lost in conference finals)
12-4

Landry had a better win percentage than 12-5 in 5 of 6 full seasons during this stretch. Was 2-3 in NFC conference championships (meaning he made it there 5 times).

Landry is lucky that he didn't get fired before that happened.

He also had an advantage that they could hold on to their good players as long as they wanted to with no salary cap or free agency.

It’s not going to matter if we don’t make a deep playoff run.

It won't be memorable without a playoff run, but Mike knows this already. Got the 2 seed so let's do something with it.

Right! Love the consistency but this is the year to go far with the teams besides SF lined up. At home too!

Were it not for the strike in 1982, Landry may very well have done it four years in a row (1980-1983).

Having 16 and now 17 game seasons make 12 easier to reach. Still pretty good, but not excellent. That would be equivalent to a 11-5 or even 10-4 in prior seasons. Now comes the REAL season...giddyup..

Its great that McCarthy has brought some real consistency. Im going to he a wet blanket and say Johnson probably wins 12 if 1991 was a 17 game season

And at the other end of the timeline - had Johnson not left the Cowboys, he would have been head coach of three straight 12-win seasons%1992__12-4, 1993__13-3, 1994__12-4.
And just for craps and giggles, add on 1995__12-4...to make four straight 12-win seasons.
