Jim Myers' wall is covered with memories.
This was our staff in 1964.
Myers retired two years ago after 40 years of
coaching football.
25 of those years were as Tom Landry's assistant.
He's really a legend in coaching.
It's hard for Myers to see the Dallas team
without that legend.
He sees that he can rebuild that team and I can
see how it'd be sad for him too.
It's very sad for me.
It's an empty feeling for me and I'm sure that
I would share the feeling of a lot of people.
Former Cowboy Preston Pearson feels the same way.
Tom Landry will probably never get his due
until he's gone.
It's like old painters, famous painters.
They really don't get their justice until
they're gone.
When you think of the Dallas Cowboys and Texas
Stadium, Tom Landry's name immediately comes
to mind.
In fact, a lot of people would find it hard to
separate the coach from the Cowboys.
They have been kept in the dark on this entire deal.
Faithful Cowboy fans screamed for changes this
past season, but now many are saying
the changes should not force Landry out.
I believe that Landry's got an awful lot of
potential to rebuild this team and I'd hate
to see him cut short.
I don't think it's Landry's fault so much, but
you've got to have something to work with.
But some feel Tom's time has come.
Landry for 20 years was wonderful, the last 10
have been a debacle.
That's just my personal opinion.
But whatever the opinion, no one downplays
Landry's contributions to Dallas, the Cowboys
and football.
