PINEHURST, N.C. — Randy Smith saw something that needed fixing, so he went about fixing it. It’s what he does. He pulled a piece of paper out of his desk at Royal Oaks Country Club in Dallas and scribbled down his idea. A line here. A line there. All the details. He folded it up, walked across the club and handed it to his student.

“This,” Smith said, “will work.”
Tom Landry took the paper.
The Dallas Cowboys coach eyed Smith, then looked down at a page of Xs moving this way and Os moving that way.
