Tom Landry did have a sense of humor.

[indyfan22k]

Jerry Jones is gonna rot in hell.

The Clarences

[44skins]

I read a comic book back in the 70's that was all about Tom Landry's life and it was about telling people how he came to know the lord! In the back of the comic book, was the "sinners prayer" that coach Landry had put in it!! I prayed that prayer!! Thank you deeply and eternally coach Landry! A boy from Bethesda Maryland!!!

[cpinc40]

@44skins That's funny, I also had that comic book as a kid ... it's stashed somewhere at my parents' house.

[DallasPix]

Tom Landry. What A Coach & Person he was! Greatly Missed!! Definitely a Legend!

[cowboys4life956]

You are truly loved and missed Tom Landry

[southpark997]

One of the Greatest football coaches ever. Best Dallas coach ever. Better than Jimmy johnson I would say

[generationll]

Tom Landry passed away 10 years ago today

[vividwatch47]

@generationll, wrestler Bobby Duncum Jr. died only two weeks after Landry; ironically, they both played for the same college (University Of Texas).

[m60a3ttsmilwaukee]

I never liked fans who hated dallas (with out reason)...cowboys are a respected class act...the lone ranger of the south and the west..we meatpacker fans mainly use the word "doomsday"...(viewing the cowboys as darth vader)...dallas never pulled a cocky-rooster stunt like 1984-1985 chicago bears superbowl shuffle m-tv video!...dallas is sterling silver class!

[1peu]

Nice comment m60. You "meatpackers" have had a few "class act" coaches your-own-selves, if I recall correctly. ;-)

[love1401]

Hank Hill's most beloved coach , I tell u wut

[EVHguitarz]

great coach..........Cowboys still SUCK!  GO! BUCS!

[wait4mewith1candle]

Who are the Bucs and why are you here? I know it's tampa no need to say tampa.

[GodChristLord]

Tom Landry was one of the classiest, if not the classiest person in the history of the NFL.

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

I miss Tom Landry.

He was all class and he gave life his all.

Tom put God first and the rest fell into place.

As a coach, he knew football and knew that brains and hard work were what put you on top.

The Dallas Cowboys were on top a lot.

Thank you.

George Vreeland Hill

[rifleman522]

I sure miss Tom Landry.

[eaglesyz]

@rifleman522 Can you imagine Tony Romo playing for Tom Landry? I think he would clean up his act quickly and you would hear nothing of Jessica Simpson distracting from the team.

[inbredagogo]

I remember watching these segments with Gerry Oher on channel 8 sports back in the 80's, not this particular one but it seems like yesterday.

[davinlangston]

tom an o.g

[ProudArmyBrat72]

Landry was the Cowboys coach when I was born until I was in high school, and I remember when the team used to practice at Cal Lutheran in Thousand Oaks.

I miss Coach Landry, because he's one of the reasons I love football today. God Bless Texas and Coach Landry.

[ggosa88]

In Texas we have a chain of command

01.) God

02.) Jesus Christ

And last but surely not least...

03.) Tom Landry

[colderbeer]

I'm no Dallas fan, but Tom ALWAYS had his teams ready to play....and with Staubach, they were never out of a game. RIP, Tom Landry.

[tomc503]

I am a Steelers fan and I loved Landry!

[William111061]

Since Landry was so unceremoniously dumped by

Hillbilly Jones, the organization has lacked any class

at all.

[danvanmac]

True,

[discodirk8484]

You sound like you were raised in a barn !

[Maltese280zx]

LOL!!!!

[Hold7Fast7Jack]

tom landry wrote three things on the chalkboard on the first cowboys practice ever.

"The priorities"

1. God

2. Family

3. Footbal

the funny thing is that Bob Lilly later wrote that he told himself right then that "Man, were not gonna win a game"

[44skins]

@Hold7Fast7Jack Ha..ha...thats great! I never knew that! Well, they eventually won a game or two did'nt they!!...LOL....

[belitnakoff]

Gary Hogeboom was on Survivor a few years ago.

[Maltese280zx]

Tom Landry is twice the man that Jimmy Johnson was! Yeah,Jimmy had his 3 Superbowls, but to live out your faith in front of the whole world as Tom Landry did his Christianity takes a real man!

[BayAreaRapSuxBalls]

jimmy had 2 the third belonged to switzer

[underlinedbluetext]

excuse me, i mean, Tom Landry

[underlinedbluetext]

hahaha 'tom landry, channel 8 sports'

[cerebralshrike]

Gary Hogoboom or Danny White? That was the real question. Too bad ol' Gary's arm gave out or else he'd have been a Cowboys legend! [/sarcasm]

[AxelQC]

Why did they build a hole in the roof of Texas Stadium?

So God could watch his favorite son coach.

[bigtexican08]

good one

[DelMinor]

I agree.

[Robbnva]

Texas stadium is God's toilet bowl wich is perferct because the cowboys are America's S**t

[TheRiceman80]

Uh no, that's the Bills. America's shit is the team that can screw up in four straight super bowls.

[Goratory666]

lmfao burn

[DallasCowboyfan139O]

I think when it comes to contributions to the game, Landry was the greatest. Wins are nice, but he changed major parts of the game. Revival of the shotgun, doomsday-defense structure, the list goes on...

[HazMatCFO]

Landry is in the top 5 of all NFL coaches ever...

Lombardi

Shula

Landry

Noll

Walsh

They were all great.

[blakob13]

landry, in my opinion was a better coach than lombardi, he could win games without having to yell and cuss at his team, he just stood there, arms crossed, with a fedora on his head and all it took was him looking at them for them to win

[gigapus35]

i remember the skins commercials they were funny

[tubalsurfer]

Genius is a grossly overused term in sports, but Landry really was one. He introduced or re-introduced so much to the game that is commonplace today. The shotgun offense and flex defense come to mind. People forget, also, before he became the Cowboys' coach that he may have been the best-ever player coach while with the Giants

[Flozell2000]

Dungy is a great coach and a great person. He has shown amazing resilence after a such a devastating personal tragedy. He is soft-spoken and always in control on the sidelines. He waited a long time to win the big one. I grew up watching Coach Landry in the late 70's and I'm sure Coach Landry would be very supportive of the man and coach that Tony Dungy has become.

[DallasCowboyfan139O]

Don't ever compare Dungy to Landry. Dungy will never be able to be comparable to Tom Landry. Only coach that is comparable is Vince Lombardi.

[DallasCowboyfan139O]

Cowboys are the history-richest team in the NFL. So many legends came and gone for the Cowboys. God bless you Tom, and bless america's team!

[RoosterCockburn077]

That's amazing, those clips were from back in the 80's but I remember them like it was yesterday. That was a much better era for football back in those years.

[Ben4810]

I think Tom Landry did for the NFL what Brian Clough did for the English Football (oh alright, soccer..!) League....both giants of the game, great understanders of the game & men motivators.

[MOBROOKS]

R.I.P. TOM! we love you!

[texasstadium]

Great Video. It reveals Tom Landry as a great person as well as coach. You don't hear much about Landry from the media...maybe his religous beliefs are considered a negative. Coach Tony Dungy is the "new" Tom Landry...soft spoken and a real gentleman. But you don't hear that much about Coach Dungy either....same reason? Hmmmm.....

[ed2kou1]

Remember the American express commercial? He was dressed up like a Cowboy and was surrounded by a bunch of Redskins lol. God bless Tom
