As an aspiring great coach myself, I have to repect and learn from the greats before me.

Landry was no doubt one of the greatest and most innovative coaches ever. A lot of Cowboys fans come out of the womb and are trained to respect him, and they don't realize the great things he has done and amount of respect other teams fans give him.

Exactly.

People don't always realize how many, many facets of the entire NFL were invented by, or influenced by coach Landry. From the 4/3 defense, to the man-in motion, to the combine, to computers, to the revival of the shotgun, to methods of disguising blitz packages and reads, to scouting methods, to so many other things too numerous to mention. The man not only helped to build the Dallas Cowboys, but helped to build the NFL.

One would be hard pressed to name a better coach. One would be hard pressed to name a better innovator. One would be even harder pressed to name a coach who was better at both. Lombardi is a legend, and I am not taking anything away from him, but he won alot in the early days with a loaded team, few teams in the league, no FA, and very little real competition, and the SB trophy itself is named after him. Was coach Landry not at least his equal, if not his superior?

No coach who has a stadium named after him in the entire NFL could stack up against Landry. Were it not for Landry, the Cowboys would not have grown to what they are today, and we might not even have an awesome new NFL flagship stadium on the way. When Jerry is considering the vast amounts of cash he will surely be offered for the naming rights, he might do well to consider that.

Please refresh my memory, was it Landry or Lombardi that had the offensive line stand up during motion to screen the defense pre-snap?

That was Landry's innovation.

698. Not bad, but surely we can do better!

I  just made it 709, this is a great idea . Ever since I heard we were building a new stadium I've hoped it would honor Tom Landry in it's name. There is no one more deserving thats for sure .

This is a great idea, but unless we can all pitch in more money than some giant corporation I think we're scewred. Plus all the good ones are taken, I sure hope we don't end up with Stayfree or Fruit of the Loom Stadium. Valiant effort though, and you got my sig.

I can see it now " Light Days Pantie Liner Memorial Stadium" 

Or "Trojan Max Field"

Somebody stop me please. 

Maybe Landry's Restaurants seafood chain will be a sponsor.  Then we can call it Landry Stadium, and the company benefits from the double meaning.

See that's the kind of innovative ideas we need on this project

The corporate sponsorship name is probably a done deal, but I am hoping that Jerry might still go for Tom Landry Field or some such.

Wow, what an amazing idea!!

Absolutely!!  Terrific idea, I'm on board for sure!

I just signed it.  Even if it was named Tom Landry Field at whatever the corporate name would be, would be fine with me.

I'm with ya.
