Tom Landry was remarkable in his reign as Cowboys coach. So often coaches of expansion teams never see success. Landry coached for 29 years from 1960-88. He was 250-162-6 and 20-16 in the postseason. Forty-six of those losses came in Dallas’ first five seasons, which tells you how incredible Landry was once the franchise was entrenched in the NFL.
