Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
From 1960 to 1988, Tom Landry had 20 consecutive winning seasons, won 13 division titles, and made five trips to the Super Bowl coaching "America's Team," the Dallas Cowboys. For 28 years, he epitomized pro football and the Cowboys, and he is often mentioned in the same breath as Vince Lombardi, each referred to as a genius of the game. Authors Freeman and Aron (the retired and current Texas sports editor, respectively, for the Associated Press) utilized over 125 of Landry's friends, relatives, and colleagues in developing the biography. Also contributing are former players such as Bob Lilly, Drew Pearson, and Tony Dorsett, with Roger Staubach writing the foreword. This compelling story of a legendary NFL coach includes numerous black-and-white photos. Recommended. Larry R. Little, Penticton P.L., B.C.

Much better than Skip Bayless garbage! Landry, Don Shula, Chuck Noll, Bud Grant, Marv Levy, Don Matthews are best Pro Coach ever,
By
This review is from: I Remember Tom Landry (Paperback)
Tom Landry was a model of consistency both
on and off the field, despite his detractors like the jerk Bayless! Twenty winning seasons in a row. Even though never liking the Cowboys, they were consistant and Landry, Tex Schramm and Ernie Stautner were the reason! God bless Tom for giving some class back to the game! Even if he was a Cowboy!
