520 $aRecounting Landry's phenomenal rise to coaching fame, St John gives up glimpses of Landry as the intramural champion in life 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 team. 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 talent poor Cowboys got pulverized by tough NFL teams The incredible ten year coaching contract Murchison awarded to Landry after his first four humiliating season. the first glimmerings of glory when Don Meredith, Bob Lilly, Mel Renfro, Lee Roy Jordan and Walt Garrison became household names. 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 chin that jutted out, would become a fading memory. And then Landry walked away and was gone.
