Biographies & Memoirs

Diane Pub Co.

Is Coach Tom Landry really the ice-veined mastermind he appears to be? His face conceals his thought and feelings. But how does he handle the pressure and the tension? Does he experience the same emotions about winning and losing as the other coaches, players and fans? Landry reveals what one of America's great coaches is really thinking about during a game. This book reflects the deep, emotional and personal side of one of the most misjudged figures in sports. Here's the full story of how Tom Landry rose from his boyhood in the dusty sandlots of Texas' Rio Grande Valley to defensive stardom and strategic genius with the New York Giants. Here's the story of how he became chief architect of the football dynasty conference champion that reached the playoffs thirteen out of the last fourteen years-and seems destined to keep on winning in the 1980's. You'll find out about the spiritual conversion that set Landry's life on its present course. Whether you share Landry's beliefs and experiences-you'll discover instructive insights into the making of a brilliant leader. To some casual observers the mind of Tom Landry runs like the computers he and his staff employ for their game and personnel evaluations. You'll find out how he reacts to crushing defeats, to playoff pressures, and to the moral and political changes during his three decades of national sports leadership. You'll also get a closeup view of his mind at work as the primary strategy innovator of modern football. He created the defensive alignments that have come to be accepted around the league. To counter his defenses, he designed the most successful offensive strategies. You'll come to see how much pro football is played according to Landry's rules. As a sports thriller for the fan, as an inspirational pick-me-up, as an education in the intricacies of strategy for the coach and player, no source is more comprehensive than Landry.

The Landry Legend: Grace Under Pressure

W Pub Group

From his unique vantage point as the dean of Dallas sports writers, Bob St. John brings us a soul-stirring portrait of one of America's most loved heroes-Tom Landry-who was, for twenty-nine years, the Dallas Cowboys' only head coach.
Recounting Landry's phenomenal rise to coaching fame, St. John gives us glimpses of Landry as the intramural champion in light heavyweight boxing at the University of Texas, the decorated military veteran, the rugged college halfback, and the dedicated husband and father of a family that mattered more to him than any of his legendary football teams.
For years St. John covered the Cowboys for the Dallas Morning News. So he brings to these pages a wealth of inside tales and touching vignettes of the coach who made them "America's team." As he traces the Cowboys' illustrious history to show us Tom Landry in action, St. John chronicles
<ul>
<li>Those first agonizing years when the talent-poor Cowboys got pulverized by tough NFL teams</li>
<li>The incredible ten-year coaching contract Murchison awarded to Landry after his first four humiliating seasons</li>
<li>The first glimmerings of glory when Don Meredith, Bob Lilly, Mel Renfro, Lee Roy Jordan, and Walt Garrision became household names</li>
<li>The Glory years-the Staubach years-with back-to-back Super Bowl contending teams</li>
<li>The dog-days at the end of Landry's coaching career when the NFL's parity rules depleted the Cowboy's arsenal once more</li>
<li>The seismic shock in Dallas when the team's new owner fired the world's favorite coach</li>
</ul>
Thousands gathered to honor "the man in the hat" shortly before he died. Former President George Bush said to him, "You're an inspiration to all who have ever watched or played the game of football." St. John recalls that moment: "As Landry walked off the speaker's stand it would be the last time most people would ever see him. That familiar face that seemed to be chiseled in stone with deep-set, pale eyes that could almost become slits when he smiled or deeply concentrated the chine that jutted out would become a fading memory. And then Landry walked away and was gone."
But he has not been forgotten.
