This is what's cool about Youtube, you have people who had early generation VCR's in the 60's and 70's, and they have archived, preserved, and transfered old television broadcast, for us younger generations to see what it was like back then. This is fascinating, Thanks Bud

Did you hear Craig Morton (the QB) was 4 out of 18 passes for 38 yards? I was at that 5-0 game. If Landry had benched Morton after that accidental win in favor of Staubach, the Cowboys would have the Super Bowl 2 games later instead of the Baltimore Colts.

" I almost fainted when I saw Tom's playbook. It was all there, things that had taken me 16 years to figure out for myself in the NFL. I mean things that just werent taught in most places, such as keys. All the keys for the D-lineman are down in black and white. Theres no guesswork in it. Maybe Im dumb, but I didnt realize anyone taught keys to D-lineman. Few did then. Everyone does now". -- Ernie Stautner

"Tom has the great ability to recognize potential in a player. We have key players who would not have been around on other contending teams. Tom can see something worth keeping in a mass of humanity. Tactics dwindle in importance to that. What a coach can contribute to a team in my opinionm is 10% inspiration,10% motivation, 20-30% tactics, and 50-60% player recognition"  -- Clint Murchinsin Jr. (Original Cowboys Owner)

@playmayker88, we also know Jimmy was great at evaluating talent. Tom Landry's legacy was not tainted with his firing but the Cowboys probably needed change. Also, in 1961 Landry may have been the best coach in that year but at the end of the 1960s, Lombardi had become the best coach ever. Bill Belichick is probably the best modern day coach, even though he cheated.

@BallinNQnz in 1961, Tom Landry's Cowboys with the poorest talent in the league, got its first win in NY vs Jim Lee Howell's Giants. Howell said after the game, Tom Landry is the best coach in Football. In 1988, again with the poorest talent in the league arguably, Tom landry went 3-13, with almost all those losses within 1 score difference. It was not a coaching problem. It was an inevitable lag in talent. What we DO know..is the young talent he did aquire were key inJJ win their SB's
