From his unique vantage point as the dean of Dallas sports writers, Bob St. John brings us a soulstirring portrait of one of America's most loved heroesTom Landrywho was, for twentynine 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 Those first agonizing years when the talentpoor Cowboys got pulverized by tough NFL teams The incredible tenyear coaching contract Murchison awarded to Landry after his first four humiliating seasons The first glimmerings of glory when Don Meredith, Bob Lilly, Mel Renfro, Lee Roy Jordan, and Walt Garrision became household names The Glory yearsthe Staubach yearswith backtoback Super Bowl contending teams The dogdays at the end of Landry's coaching career when the NFL's parity rules depleted the Cowboy's arsenal once more The seismic shock in Dallas when the team's new owner fired the world's favorite coachThousands 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 deepset, 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.
