  • @someymehra Wow - @playmayker88 and I had the same discussion, and this Packers homer argued Lombardi #1. But I agree with those four along with a 5th, Paul Brown, on Mount Coachmore. We're comparing Lambourghini's, Ferrari's and Corvette's here. And all were better men than they were coaches. Imagine their chalk talk in Heaven.

  • @playmayker88 agreed 100% I'm a homer but IMHO Bill Walsh is the greatest coach of all time. I hate the term "west cost offesnse." It should be the Bill Walsh Offense. That being said Coach Landry was a great man and Coach. In my Mount Rushmore of Head Coaches it's Walsh, Landry, Lombardi, and Halas. Shula and Knoll were very good but very over-rated IMO.

  • @someymehra

    Landry ressurected the Shotgun. It wasnt his invention, but he brought it to prominent use and now you see teams today using it 50% of the time in some cases. I didnt say Landry created the 3-4. As for the 4-3, yes the Flex was a Landry invention but his use and design of the 4-3 became THE defense for decades to come. (with the exception of the Flex as noone else could teach it).

  • @playmayker88 lol, the Shot Gun was started by Red Hicky who was a HC with the 49ers in the late 50's. Walsh didn't use the shotgun because both Montana and Young didn't like to use it. He did use it with Deberg. He did use the 4-3 but switched to the 3-4 when Fred Dean was acquired. Landry invented the "Flex" defense. Not the 3-4. The 3-4 was really a 5-2 then was changed to a 3-4.

  • @someymehra Did Walsh use any form of 4-3 defense? Did he use multiple formations in his west coast offense? Did he ever send a man in motion? Ever work out of a shotgun formation? If so, these are all Landry innovations that were brought about and used in Dallas decades before their time. All of them are the standard in today's NFL some 50 years later. Walsh was a great coach, he even beat a fine Landry team by a couple of fingertips, but the greatest ever? Among, perhaps.

  • this brought tears to my eyes

  • Still I miss Tom Landry.

  • great man and great coach but, the best coach ever was Bill Walsh

  • He hasn't not gone for nine years ... because he never left.

    He lives on in the hearts and minds of the Dallas Cowboys fans all around the world. And as long as we fans continue to remember, not the coach, but the man. He will, and can, NEVER die.

  • He has been gone for 9 years now.
