Tom Landry

We could write an entire novel and sequels about the incredible Tom Landry. First off, his 29 consecutive years as the coach of one team are an NFL record, along as are his 20 consecutive winning seasons. In his career, he won two Super Bowl titles (VI, XII), five NFC titles, 13 Divisional titles, and compiled a 270-178-6 record, the third-most wins of all-time for an NFL coach. He created many new formations and methods., including the now popular 4–3 defense, and the “flex defense” system made famous by the “Doomsday Defense” squads.

Curly Lambeau

If you don’t know anything about football (you’re only a little bit forgiven) then you have to know about Curly Lambeau otherwise we could never live with ourselves. First of all, he is seriously one of the greatest coaches to have ever graced the field. Second, Lambeau and George Whitney Calhoun founded the Green Bay Packers on August 11, 1919. Third, in the very beginning Lambeau was a player-coach of the Packers. Four, he coached the Packers to win six championships. Lastly, he is still the winningest coach in Packers history; his 209 wins are more than double than anyone else, as are his 104 losses.
