Thanks for creating the video. Tom Landry was a gentleman, coach, role model and hero to many people, including myself. I moved from Big D and moved to Houston many years ago and appreciate memories of home
I grew up in Texas watching the "Tom Landry Show" on TV. I liked it when he made his game footage go backwards. That was funny to me. What a great role model he was. The shape of his tombstone made sense when you read his epitaph: "Enter into the joy of thy Lord." Thank you for posting this video.
Thanks for the video!!! I've been a Cowboys fan since 75'. Never given up on them and never will!!! RIP Coach Landry and all the Cowboys that have past!
Tom Landry was a fine man and a role model for all the players that listened to his words. He was a class act from a bygone era in football and his example will always be respected. May he RIP surrounded by such a beautiful peaceful setting. 🇺🇸🏈
Wow. Thanks for sharing. Due to his appearance on Billy Graham crusade many years ago, 61 years from when he started coaching the Dallas Cowboys (1960), I've always been a Dallas fan. I'm 61.
I'm a Tom Landry-era Dallas Cowboys fan. Been watching pro football since the late 1950s, and watched the new 1960 Dallas Cowboys with my Dad and uncles whenever they would play on TV.... which back then wasn't every Sunday like it is today. I began watching in earnest in 1963.... Eddie Lebaron's final season. Don Meredith was my very first sports hero, and my favorite defensive player was Chuck Howley... along with Bob Lilly and Mike Gaechter. Coach Landry was, as everyone knows, a fine respected man as well as a superb football coach. The day Jerry Jones bought the team, everything changed for me personally. I watched some during Aikman's career, and I definitely respected Aikman and his talent and what he did for the Cowboys. These days I don't watch much football, what with all the politicization, disrespecting the flag, and the ridiculous trash-talking that goes on. Also, I do not like or respect the current NFL commissioner. R. I. P. TOM🏈🇨🇱LANDRY God bless our pro football heroes from a by-gone era.
As a young boy from GA, I was a cowboy fan! Even at a young age coach Landry wearing a suit and that fedora made an impression! He seemed a quiet man watching him on the sidelines! He gave off the impression of being a Christian man without uttering a word! I no longer watch pro football, when the uniforms drastically changed, it just didn't seem the same! Now with all the politics and all NO THANKS!! I'll watch my GA bulldogs on occasion is about the only football I care for!
He was an awesome man and coach! Did not deserve the way jerry jones treated him. That was the end of my affection for the cowboys. And yes I am from Dallas. Still here.
It made me mad too, I loved Laundry but tired of him doing the same thing year after year after year I got so tired of losing ! I love Jerry Jones too, he gave us even more rings and made the Cowboys even bigger, new stadium, they have a team that might win another ring this year!
I concur that Jones did Tom Landry and Tex Schramm badly...poor taste. I quit following the Cowboys after that. Landry was not a flamboyant self-centered boaster as we see others are. God bless him and his legacy.
He was a heck of a coach and without a doubt an even better man. I just don’t understand why so many people don’t know this but Jesus promised that there will be a time when “all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out!” Just as Lazarus was “sleeping in death”, so is Tom Landry and his daughter and most everyone else. Please read these Bible verses; John 5:28, 29. Psalm 37:10, 11, 29. Revelation 21:3, 4.
As the biggest lifelong diehard Dallas Cowboys fan in Pennsylvania. I thank you for this incredible video. Tom shook my hand as I was 11 years old at veterans stadium in Philadelphia following the Cowboys 26-10 win in the parking garage. Randy White wasn't having it, I stood in front of him to try for an autograph and he steamrolled me on his way to the bus LoL 😆
Tom Landry was arguably the greatest coach in NFL history and an even better person off the field. A war hero, player, an innovator of many of the formations and tactics still employed by the league. A true Christian gentleman. Rest in peace, coach.
Great coach! He built an entirely new defense from the one with the great Bob Lilly that beat Miami after the ‘71 season to the ‘77 team that beat Denver in New Orleans! His Flex Defense has never been copied and now never will. In the age of free agency, players don’t stay with one team to master such a complex defense. One of the players he had the most trouble with, Hollywood Henderson, later gave Coach Landry credit for saving his life!
People who hated the Cowboys still respected Landry and thought Jerry did him him and Tex wrong. You'd think Jerry would have learned some diplomacy or common courtesy in the last 34 years. Nope. He's still the same jerk. Landry was a class act.
Well done sir, this is one of the classic coaches. Well dressed on the sideline. Today coaches dress sloppy. Thank you Mr Tom Landry for all the great football memories. I tip my hat to you sir. Rest in peace.

I’m so glad nothing of the Dallas cowboys was written in his head stone. The Dallas cowboys did him real bad.

Such an icon- this is from a Vikings fan! So sad how Jones just dumped him and Tex Schram - jerk.
People who hated the Cowboys still respected Landry and thought Jerry did him him and Tex wrong. You'd think Jerry would have learned some diplomacy or common courtesy in the last 34 years. Nope. He's still the same jerk. Landry was a class act.
R.I.P. Tom Landry, Cowboys need to be playing at the Cotton bowl, I wish they fixed up that area
Well done sir, this is one of the classic coaches. Well dressed on the sideline. Today coaches dress sloppy. Thank you Mr Tom Landry for all the great football memories. I tip my hat to you sir. Rest in peace.
GREATEST. Please don't walk on his grave.
Miss seeing the famous fadora on the side line. RIP
His Hat. Thats Tom Laundry For Sures R.I.P.
I was never a Cowboys fan but still think Jerry Jones should have handled Coach Landry’s firing better.
Never new he was born in Mission, TX. The Rio Grande Valley.
Boy he made players great didn’t didn’t take him long to win a super bowl
I thought he was buried in Austin Texas at the State cemetery I swear I thought I saw that on UA-cam a while back
Mickey Mantle & Lamar HUnt are also buried in this cemetary near SMU
What road?
Dallas in 1960 was I believe called the Dallas Rangers in 1960 then the name was changed to the Dallas Cowboys a couple of months later
@samloria1308
You are correct.
Also, the name "Longhorns" was also
considered 🏈
Freddie King is also buried there.
AINT IT FUN BEING FROM BIG D.
I worked there in the 70’s a lot of famous people are buried there.
@@methinks1507 very true.Freddie's son Jr is also there.

I wonder why his wife aint there.
