Tom Landry as head coach, Tex Schramm as general manager and Gil Brandt slotted as the Dallas Cowboys’ Vice President of player personnel. That combination vaulted the Cowboys into stardom from 1960 to 1988 and terrorized Giants rosters for 29 years.
The results were 20 straight winning seasons, 13 division titles, five NFC Championships, two Super Bowl trophies plus an endless array of Pro Bowl players that have weaved-in and out of the roster for over two decades.
Brandt, now an analyst for NFL.com, recently published his list of the 45 best linebackers of all time.
