A native Texan, he was a natural choice to coach Dallas' entry in the National Football League when the club franchise was granted in 1960. On Feb. 5, 1964, Cowboys owner Clint Murchison announced he had signed Landry to a contract running through the 1974 season. It was the longest contract in the history of pro sports, as well as newsmen could determine. "It's in line with my philosophy that when you get a good man you want to hold onto him," Murchison explained. Landry played college football at the University of Texas, with time out for World War II bomber service, and joined the New York Yankees of the old All-America Conference in 1949. When the two leagues merged in 1950, Landry went to the New York Giants where he was to spend the next ten years as a player, player-coach and defensive backfield coach. A native of Mission, Texas, Landry has made his home in Dallas for the past nine years with his wife Alicia and three children — Tom Jr., 15; Kitty, 12; and Lisa, 7. ERMAL ALLEN — Offensive Backfield Coach Ermal Allen joined the Cowboys in 1962 after 14 years as a coach at his alma mater, Kentucky, and in his first Dallas season the Cowboys ranked second in the NFL in total offense, touchdowns and points scored. He quarterbacked the Wildcats in his undergraduate days ('39- '41) and was a member of the Fort Benning and Army All-Star teams during World War II and a defensive back with the Cleveland Browns in 1947. Returning to Kentucky, he worked under Bear Bryant from 1948 through 1953 and under Blanton Collier from 1954 through 1961. Allen, 44, earned three letters each in football, basketball and golf in college and is a top amateur golfer. His son. Ken, is a half back at Georgia Tech. The other Allen children are Ann, 19, and Amy, 10. HOWARD (RED) HICKEY — Offensive End Coach Red Hickey, now in his second year with the Cowboys, has been around the NFL since 1940. , ^ ^ . A native of Clarksville, Ark., Red gi-aduated from the University of Arkansas in 1941 and was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was traded to the Cleveland Rams before the 1941 season and played with them five seasons ('41 and '45-'48) in Cleveland and Los An geles. He remained with the Rams for six more seasons as an assistant coach, then joined the San Francisco 49ers in 1955 as an assistant coach, taking the head job in 1959 and remaining as 49er head coach through part of the '63 season. Red's family—^wife Celia and three sons—moved to Dallas in the summer of 1964. JIM MYERS — Offensive Line Coach A long-time coach in the collegiate ranks, Myers joined the Cow boys in 1962 after four years as head coach and athletic director at Texas A&M. He was an assistant coach at Wofford College, Vanderbilt and UCLA and head coach at Iowa State before going to Texas A&M. The 42-year-old Myers played his college ball at Tennessee ('41- '42 and '46) and Duke ('43). While at Duke in the Marine V-12 pro gram, he was named All-Southern Conference guard. Jim and his wife have three daughters — Susan, 18; Kathy, 15; and Carol, 14. DICK NOLAN — Defensive Backfield Coach Nolan joined the Cowboys as a player-coach in 1962, retiring as a player the following season to limit himself to coaching. The 33-year-old Maryland product was reunited with Landry last year. They were teammates in 1954 and '55 when Landry was a player-coach for the New York Giants. Nolan was also Landry's pupil in 1956, '57 and '59 when the latter was full-time defensive coach. Nolan was with the Chicago Cardinals in 1958, returning to the Giants for the three following seasons. A native of White Plains, N.Y., Dick is the father of five chil dren—^Richard Jr., 10; Nancy, 9; Michael, 6; Kelly, 5; and Lisabeth, 3. DON COCHREN — Trainer Don Cochren joined the Cowboys in June 1965 after one year as head trainer at the University of New Hampshire. A graduate of Purdue University who gained his physical ther apy certificate from Pennsylvania, the 33-year-old Cochren spent two years as trainer at Case Institute in Cleveland and four years as trainer of the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian football league. Married and the father of three children, he also spent two years as a physical therapy officer in the Air Force.
