Talk:Tom Landry

message: The article is well-written, but is sort of colorless. First of all, how about a photograph of Landry? I can't understand why there's no photograph in this article about an American icon.
I think that some mention should be made of the players that played under him, such as "Hollywood" Henderson, Tony Dorsett, "Too Tall" Jones, Roger Staubach, etc.
More mention should be made about Landry's appearance, his fedora which he never took off, and his stoic personality on the field. I don't feel that the reader really gets a feeling of how prominent Landry was in American culture and what an American icon he was. Slater79 05:44, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree.  A photo would definitely improve this article. -- TomLandry 04:32, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I see a photo has been added but there's something wrong with the caption: "Tom Landry (center) in ." Apoyon (talk) 07:13, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

text: I am tired of everyone complaining about the pic and how it "doesnt represent landry".  People, if you can find another free picture that is eligable for usage on Wikipedia, then put it up.  Otherwise, shut your trap.  Jwalte04 (talk) 22:59, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Why would Landry return to UH to complete a second Bachelor's degree?  If he received a Bachelor's in IE in 1949 from UT why would he then proceed to repeat this level of education at a lessor university in 1952?  This was probably a Master's degree he received from UH in 1952, not a second Bachelor's.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.60.140.234 (talk) 17:10, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't there be a picture that correctly represents Landry in his famous attire on the football field?
One needs to be found that can be reproduced!!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.118.9.2 (talk) 15:52, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Landry's dismissal is covered in the section 'Beyond the NFL'. Clearly this happened during his coaching career, and should be covered in that section of the article. However, to help with the real story behind Tom Landry, he was actually fired by Jerry Jones for stealing money from the team —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.22.255.57 (talk) 01:23, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

message: The Hall of State has recently had most of their stuff taken off display and have devoted a large portion of it to remembering Tom Landry. Should this be mentioned in this article?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.94.200.159 (talk) 00:25, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

message: The percentage column in the Head Coaching Record is incorrect in seasons where he posted one or more ties. It looks like the ties were excluded, rather than counting as half a win (see the article on Winning Percentage, which describes the correct formula).  For example, in 1960 the article shows a record of 0-11-1 with a winning percentage of .000.  The percentage should be .042 (0.5/12 rather than 0/11). Same in 1961, where a record of 4-9-1 is a winning percentage of .321, not .308 (4.5/14 rather than 4/13). MSchell (talk) 19:27, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

message: A one-time, numbered editor left WP:POV detritis about Peter Gent's portrayal of Landry in North Dallas Forty. It's been reverted. Expressing my own opinion here, Gent's characterization is much more subtle than 'petty tyrant.' Tapered (talk) 00:21, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

message: How can you have a summary of Tom Landry's career without mentioning the disappointing down-to-the-wire NFL Championship game endings in Dallas in 1966 and in Green Bay in the Ice Bowl in 1967? 71.183.144.231 (talk) 01:46, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
