Coach Tom Landry, I don't know how to describe him. You can't say enough good things about him. One word to describe him would be fair. He didn't play favorites. He told you what you needed to do to play. If you did that, you'd get to play. If you didn't do that, somebody else would. After I retired, my wife and I went in a restaurant.

If you get to be friends with the players, then it might alter your judgment in what's best for the team. You might find yourself playing favorites.” And he never did, which I always respected him for that.
