Franchise history

Main article: History of the Dallas Cowboys

Originally, the formation of an NFL expansion team in Texas was met with strong opposition by Washington Redskins owner George Preston Marshall. This article details the history of the Dallas Cowboys American Football Club. George Preston Marshall (1896 &ndash 1969 was the long-time owner and president of the Washington Redskins of the National Football League (NFL This was no surprise, for Marshall's Redskins had enjoyed a monopoly as the only NFL team to represent the Southern States of the US for several decades. The Southern United States &mdashcommonly referred to as the American South, Dixie, or simply the South &mdashconstitutes a large distinctive This came as little surprise to the would-be Dallas team owners, Clint Murchison, Jr. and Bedford Wynne. Clint William Murchison Jr ( September 12, 1923 – March 30, 1987) was the founder of the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football To ensure the birth of their expansion team, the men bought the rights to the Redskins fight song, "Hail to the Redskins" and threatened to refuse to allow Marshall to play the song at games. Hail to the Redskins is the fight song for the Washington Redskins. Needing the song, which was a staple for his "professional football team of Dixie," Marshall changed his mind, and the city of Dallas, Texas, was granted an NFL franchise on January 28, 1960.

As with all sports leagues there are a number of significant rivalries in the National Football League (NFL ^[7]

1960s and 1970s

The team was first known as the Dallas Steers, then the Dallas Rangers before settling on the name "Cowboys" for the 1960 season. The new Dallas owners, Murchison and Wynne, subsequently hired Tex Schramm as general manager, Tom Landry as head coach, and Gil Brandt as player personnel director. Texas Earnest Schramm Jr ( June 2, 1920 - July 15, 2003) was the original president and general manager of the U Thomas Wade Landry ( September 11, 1924 – February 12, 2000) was an American football player and coach For the coaching strategy game see NFL Head Coach.

During the rest of the 1970s, the Cowboys grew in popularity, not just in Dallas, but nationwide. The Cowboys also continued to add new talent to their roster, including defensive ends Harvey Martin and Ed "Too Tall" Jones, wide receiver Drew Pearson, and two future Hall of Famers, defensive tackle Randy White and running back Tony Dorsett.

Wilford Daniel "Danny" White (born February 9, 1952 in Mesa Arizona) is an American football coach in the Arena Football White led the Cowboys to the playoffs five times and won two Division Championships. However, despite playing in the NFC Championship Game three consecutive years (1980-1982), the Cowboys did not reach the Super Bowl during the 1980s. In 1984, H.R. "Bum" Bright purchased the Dallas Cowboys from Murchison. Harvey Roberts (Bum Bright ( October 6, 1920 in Muskogee Oklahoma – December 11, 2004) was an As the Cowboys suffered through progressively poorer seasons (from 10-6 in 1985 to 7-9 in 1986, 7-8 in 1987, and 3-13 in 1988), Bright became disenchanted with the team. During an embarrassing home loss to Atlanta in 1987, Bright told the media that he was "horrified" at Landry's play calling. Bright sold the Cowboys to Jerry Jones on February 25, 1989.

Jones immediately fired Tom Landry, the only head coach in franchise history and a future Hall of Famer, replacing him with University of Miami head coach Jimmy Johnson. The University of Miami (also known as Miami of Florida, UM, or just The U) is a private non-sectarian University founded in 1925 James William Johnson (born July 16, 1943) is an American football coach and broadcaster With the first pick in the draft, the Cowboys selected UCLA future Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman.

Although the Cowboys finished the 1989 season with a 1-15 record, the worst record since the team's inception, the trade later allowed Dallas to draft a number of impact players to rebuild the team.

Johnson quickly returned the Cowboys to the NFL's elite. Skillful drafts added fullback Daryl Johnston and center Mark Stepnoski in 1989, running back Emmitt Smith in 1990, defensive tackle Russell Maryland and offensive tackle Erik Williams in 1991, and safety Darren Woodson in 1992.

In January 1993, only three years after their 1-15 season, the Cowboys earned their first Super Bowl trip in 14 seasons. Dallas crushed the Buffalo Bills 52-17 in Super Bowl XXVII, during which they forced a record nine turnovers.

Thomas Gregory Everett (born November 21, 1964 in Daingerfield Texas) is a former American football safety in the NFL.

Only weeks after Super Bowl XXVIII, however, friction between Johnson and Jones culminated in Johnson stunning the football world by announcing his resignation. Jones then hired former University of Oklahoma head coach Barry Switzer to replace Johnson.

Yet the glory days of the Cowboys were again beginning to dim as free agency, age and injuries began taking their toll. The Cowboys went 6-10 in 1997, with discipline and off-field problems becoming major distractions. As a result, Switzer resigned as head coach in January 1998 and former Steelers offensive coordinator Chan Gailey was hired to take his place. Thomas Chandler Gailey Jr (born January 5, 1952 in Gainesville Georgia) is a National Football League offensive coordinator for the Kansas Gailey led the team to a 10-6 record in 1998 and an NFC East championship, but was let go after an 8-8 playoff season in 1999, becoming the first Cowboys coach who did not win a Super Bowl. Nonetheless, the Cowboys posted more wins in the 1990s than any other NFL team.

Defensive coordinator Dave Campo was promoted to head coach, but he could only post three consecutive 5-11 seasons. Dave Campo (born July 18, 1947) is an American football coach a former head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, and currently secondary coach with Many fans and media were beginning to blame Jerry Jones for the team's ills, noting that he refused to hire a strong coach, preferring to hire coaches who did not want to be involved with personnel duties so that Jones himself could manage them. Jones then lured Bill Parcells out of retirement to coach the Cowboys. Bill Parcells (born Duane Charles Parcells August 22, 1941 in Englewood New Jersey) is the current Executive Vice President of Football The Cowboys became the surprise team of the 2003 season, posting a 10-6 record and a playoff berth by having the best overall defense in the NFL. However, during the next two seasons, the Parcells-led Cowboys missed the playoffs. The Cowboys then finished an up-and-down 2006 season with a 9-7 record and a playoff appearance, but after a last second loss in the Wild Card Game against the Seattle Seahawks, Parcells retired and was succeeded by Wade Phillips.

When the Dallas Cowboys franchise debuted in 1960, the team's uniform included a white helmet adorned with a simple blue star and a blue-white-blue stripe down the center crown. The team donned blue jerseys with white sleeves and a small blue star on each shoulder for home games and the negative opposite for away games. Their socks also had two horizontal white stripes overlapping the blue.

In 1964 thru 1965, the Cowboys opted for a more simpler look (and essentially the team's current uniform) by changing their jersey/socks to one solid color with three horizontal blue stripes on the sleeves. The star-shouldered jerseys were replaced with shoulder "TV" numbers. The pants and helmet were changed from white to silver and a white border was added to the blue star.

In 1966, the team narrowed the stripes to two per sleeve/sock and the following year in 1967, the white border was moved farther into the blue star and was now a white pinstripe. The logo and this version of the uniform has seen little change to the present day.

The only notable changes in the last 40 years were:

• from 1970-1973 when the "TV" numbers were moved from the shoulders to the sleeves above the stripes
• from 1981-1988 the pants featured a white uniform number in an elliptical blue circle worn near the hip.
• the removal of the indented serifs on the front and back jersey numbers in the early 80's (seen currently on the throwback jersey)
• from 1981-1994 the dark jerseys sported numbers that were gray with white borders and a blue pinstripe. Origins & etymology Serifs are thought to have originated in the Roman alphabet with inscriptional lettering —words carved into stone in Roman antiquity The stripes on the sleeves and socks also used the same gray with white border scheme (sans navy pinstripe).
• the 1996 addition of the word "Cowboys" in the center of the neckline which lasted until 1998 on the white jersey but currently remains on the blue jersey.

During the 1976 season, the blue-white-blue stripe on the crown of the helmets were temporarily changed to red-white-blue to commemorate the United States' bicentennial anniversary.

In 1994, the NFL celebrated their 75th Anniversary and the Dallas Cowboys celebrated their back-to-back Super Bowl titles by unveiling the white "Double-Star" jersey on Thanksgiving Day. This jersey was used for special occasions and was worn throughout the 1994-1995 playoffs.

During the 1995 season, the team wore the navy "Double-Star" jersey for games at Washington and Philadelphia. This jersey was not seen again until the NFL's Classic Throwback Weekend on Thanksgiving Day 2001-2003

In 2004, the Cowboys resurrected their original 1960-1963 uniform. This now serves as the team's alternate or "3rd jersey" and usually worn only on special occasions such as the annual Thanksgiving Day game.

The Cowboys were the first NFL team to primarily wear their white jersey at home, as it was an unofficial rule that teams wear their colored jersey at home. This tradition started in the 1960s by Tex Schramm, who wanted fans to see a variety of opponents' colors at home games. ^[11] Since then, a number of other teams have worn their white uniforms at home, including the Washington Redskins and Miami Dolphins. The Washington Redskins are a professional American football team based in the Washington D The Miami Dolphins are a professional American football team based in the Miami Florida Metropolitan Area.

Throughout the years, the Cowboys' blue jersey has been popularly viewed to be "jinxed" because the team often seemed to lose when they wore them. A jinx, in popular Superstition and Folklore, is A sort of Curse placed on a person that makes them prey to large numbers of minor misfortunes This curse purportedly became popular after the team lost Super Bowl V, when they were forced to wear their colored jersey because they were the designated home team. Super Bowl V was an American football game played on January 17, 1971 at the Orange Bowl in Miami Florida to decide the National ^[12] Since then, the rules were changed to allow the Super Bowl home team to pick their choice of jersey. Most of the time, Dallas will wear their blue jersey when they visit Washington, Miami, or one of the handful of other teams that traditionally wear their white jersey at home during the first half of the season due to the hot climates in their respective cities. Occasionally opposing teams will wear their white jerseys at home to try to invoke the curse,^[13] as when the Philadelphia Eagles hosted the Cowboys in the 1980 NFC Championship Game. The Philadelphia Eagles are a professional American football team based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The NFL playoffs following the 1980 NFL season led up to Super Bowl XV. ^[14] Although Dallas has made several tweaks to their blue jerseys over the years, Schramm said he did not believe in the curse. ^[15]

Rivalries

Historically, the Washington Redskins have been the Cowboys' greatest rival. Divisional opponents in the NFC East, Dallas and Washington have played each other twice each season since the early 1960s, fueling the rivalry. The NFC East is a division of the National Football League 's National Football Conference. Redskins coach George Allen enhanced the rivalry during the 1970s. George Herbert Allen ( April 29, 1918 – December 31, 1990) was an American football coach in the NFL and

The Cowboys also have strong rivalries with the other NFC East teams, the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles. The New York Giants are a professional American football team based in the New York City suburb of East Rutherford New Jersey. The competition with Philadelphia has been particularly intense since the late 1970s, when the long-moribund Eagles returned to contention. A series of other factors heightened tensions during the 1980s and 1990s, including several provocative actions by Philadelphia fans and Eagles head coach Buddy Ryan. Buddy Ryan (born James David Ryan on February 17, 1934) is a former American football coach Among these were the 1989 "Bounty Bowls," in which Ryan allegedly placed a bounty on Dallas kicker Luis Zendejas and Veterans Stadium fans pelted the Cowboys with snowballs and other debris. Luis Fernando Zendejas (born October 22, 1961 in Mexico City Mexico) was an American football Placekicker. Philadelphia Veterans Stadium (informally called "The Vet") was a professional sports facility located at the northeast corner of Broad Street and Pattison A 1999 game at Philadelphia saw Eagles fans cheering as Michael Irvin lay motionless and possibly paralyzed on the field.

The San Francisco 49ers have been another major Cowboy rival. The San Francisco 49ers are a professional American football team Dallas has played more postseason games against San Francisco (seven) than any other opponent. The Cowboys defeated the 49ers in the 1970 and 1971 NFC Championship games, and again in the 1972 Divisional Playoff Game, when Roger Staubach threw two touchdown passes with less than two minutes remaining for a 30-28 win. The 1981 NFC Championship Game in San Francisco, which saw the 49ers' Joe Montana complete a game-winning pass to Dwight Clark in the final minute (now known as "The Catch"), is one of the most famous games in NFL history. For the actor with a similarly pronounced name see Joe Mantegna. Dwight Edward Clark (born January 8, 1957 in Kinston North Carolina) is a retired American athlete who was a Pro Bowl Wide receiver The Catch was the winning touchdown reception from Joe Montana to Dwight Clark in the January 10, 1982 NFC Championship American San Francisco subsequently won their first of five Super Bowls. professional American football, the Super Bowl is the Championship game of the National Football League (NFL During the 1992-1994 seasons, Dallas and San Francisco faced each other in the NFC Championship Game. Dallas won the first two match-ups, and San Francisco, loaded with star players from other teams in the new era of free-agency, won the third. In each of the three seasons, the game's victor went on to win the Super Bowl.

The Cowboys have a lesser rivalry with the Green Bay Packers that began in the 1960s. The two teams have faced each other in the postseason six times. Green Bay defeated Dallas in the 1966 and 1967 NFL Championship games (the latter, known as the "Ice Bowl", is another of pro football's most famous games). The 1966 National Football League Championship Game determined the NFL's champion which would meet the AFL 's champion in Super Bowl I, then The 1967 National Football League Championship Game between the Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys was the 35th championship game in NFL history The 1967 National Football League Championship Game between the Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys was the 35th championship game in NFL history Dallas, in turn, defeated Green Bay in the second round of the 1982 playoffs, the 1993 and 1994 NFC Divisional Playoff games, and the 1995 NFC Championship Game. Texas Stadium is one of the few places where the Packers quarterback Brett Favre has never won; he is 0-9 at Dallas. Brett Lorenzo Favre (ˈfɑrv (born October 10 1969 is an American football Quarterback for the New York Jets of the National Football League The rivalry was renewed during the 2007 season, when both teams met in a late-season matchup. Anticipations ran high as both teams boasted 10-1 records, and battled for first place in the NFC playoff hunt. The National Football Conference ( NFC) is one of the two conferences of the National Football League (NFL Dallas prevailed, winning 37-24, and clinched the top seed a few weeks later. Many people expected a rematch in the NFC Championship game, and while Green Bay advanced, Dallas lost to the New York Giants in a Divisional Playoff game. The NFC Championship Game is one of the two Semi-final matches of the National Football League the largest professional American football league in the United The New York Giants are a professional American football team based in the New York City suburb of East Rutherford New Jersey.

Some consider the Pittsburgh Steelers a rival. The teams have met in three Super Bowls, all of which were close. The Steelers won Super Bowl X and Super Bowl XIII; both games were decided in the final seconds. Super Bowl X was an American football game played on January 18, 1976 at the Orange Bowl in Miami Florida to decide the Super Bowl XIII was an American football game played on January 21, 1979 at the Orange Bowl in Miami Florida to decide the National The Cowboys won Super Bowl XXX in 1996. Super Bowl XXX was an American football game played on January 28, 1996 at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe Arizona to decide the

The Houston Texans are sometimes considered a rival because of the in-state affiliation The two teams have only played each other twice during the regular season (due to being in opposite conferences, they only play every 4 years), although they usually square off during the preseason. The Houston Texans is a professional American football team based in Houston, Texas. The rivalry began in the Texans' first regular season game in 2002, when they upset the Cowboys in Houston.

Due to the rich history of the Cowboys from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1990s, one would assume that the Cowboys would have a large number of inductees to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Troy Kenneth Aikman (born November 21 1966 in West Covina California) is a former American football Quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys of the Anthony "Tony" Drew Dorsett (born April 7, 1954 in Rochester Pennsylvania) is a former American football Running back Michael Jerome Irvin (born March 5, 1966) is a former American football player for the Dallas Cowboys. Thomas Wade Landry ( September 11, 1924 – February 12, 2000) was an American football player and coach Bob Lilly (born July 26, 1939) is a former American football player in the NFL and Photographer. Melvin Lacy "Mel" Renfro (born December 30, 1941 in Houston Texas) is a former American football Cornerback and safety Texas Earnest Schramm Jr ( June 2, 1920 - July 15, 2003) was the original president and general manager of the U Roger Thomas Staubach, also known as Roger the Dodger, Captain Comeback, and Captain America, (born February 5, 1942 in Cincinnati Randy Lee White (born January 15, 1953 in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania) was an American football player Larry Rayfield Wright (born August 23, 1945 in Griffin Georgia) is a former American football Offensive tackle for the Dallas However, they do not. Many have raised strong arguments asking why many Cowboys legends have been snubbed by the Hall's induction committee, especially those who played during the decade of the 1970s. On the Pro Football Hall of Fame's 1970s all-decade team (selected by the same group as the one charged with picking the inductees), there are six Dallas Cowboys (Drew Pearson, Rayfield Wright, Roger Staubach, Harvey Martin, Bob Lilly, and Cliff Harris) and eight Pittsburgh Steelers (Lynn Swann, Mike Webster, Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, L.C. Greenwood, "Mean" Joe Greene, Jack Ham, and Jack Lambert)*. Drew Pearson (born January 12, 1951 in South River New Jersey) is a Sportscaster and former American football Wide receiver Harvey Banks Martin ( November 16, 1950 - December 24, 2001) was an American football Defensive end in the NFL Lynn Curtis Swann (born March 7, 1952) is an American former professional football player and sports broadcaster Michael Lewis "Iron Mike" Webster ( March 18, 1952 - September 24, 2002) was an American football player who played Terry Paxton Bradshaw (born September 2 1948 is a former American football Quarterback with the Pittsburgh Steelers in the National Football League Franco Harris (born March 7 1950 is a former American football player best known for his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers. LC Henderson Greenwood (born September 8, 1946 in Canton Mississippi) is a former American football Defensive end for the 1970s Charles Edward Greene, known as "Mean Joe" Greene, (born September 24, 1946) is a former all-pro American football Defensive tackle Jack Raphael Ham Jr (born December 23, 1948 in Johnstown Pennsylvania) is a former American Football Linebacker who played for John Harold "Jack" Lambert ( July 8, 1952, Mantua Ohio, United States) is a former NFL Linebacker in American Of those, only three Cowboys have been inducted (Wright, Staubach and Lilly) versus seven Steelers (all but Greenwood). Not including the two kickers and one punter on the team, the three Cowboys are among only eleven players on the forty-five man roster not in the Hall.

An alternate explanation is that many of the teams ahead of Dallas in number of inductees have been around much longer. The top five teams (the Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers, New York Giants, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Washington Redskins, respectively) were all founded in 1933 or before. The New York Giants are a professional American football team based in the New York City suburb of East Rutherford New Jersey. The Cowboys were founded in 1960. Others even go so far as to argue that the defensive players for the Cowboys in the 1970s operated under an ingenious system devised by Head Coach Tom Landry (see above) which inflated the public's perception of their supposed skill. The debate over an anti-Cowboys bias still rages today. ^[16][17]

(*)The NFL does not officially identify players with the team with whom they played most of their career. All teams for whom a player played are recognized equally. (**)Numbers do not include players who played a minority of their career with the Cowboys or other teams. For example, Lance Alworth played for the San Diego Chargers from 1962-1970, and with the Cowboys from 1971-1972. He is not included for the Cowboys, nor is Mike Ditka, who played for 8 years with the Bears and Eagles before ending his career with a four-year stint with the Cowboys.

Super Bowl MVPs

Although the Cowboys are tied with the 49ers and Steelers for the most Super Bowl victories with 5, Dallas actually holds the record for the most Super Bowl games played (8) and the most Super Bowl MVPs with 7:

1. Linebacker Chuck Howley - Super Bowl V - Howley was named the MVP for Super Bowl V despite the Cowboys' loss to the Baltimore Colts.

Retired numbers/"Ring of Honor"

Unlike many NFL teams, the Cowboys do not retire jersey numbers of past standouts as a matter of policy. Instead, the team has a "Ring of Honor", which is on permanent display encircling the field at Texas Stadium in Irving. The Dallas Cowboys Ring of Honor (RoH is a ring around Texas Stadium in Irving, Texas which honors former players coaches and club officials who made The first inductee was Bob Lilly in 1975 and by 2005, the hallowed ring contained 17 names, all former Dallas players except for one head coach and one general manager/president. The Dallas Cowboys Ring of Honor (RoH is a ring around Texas Stadium in Irving, Texas which honors former players coaches and club officials who made

The Ring of Honor has been a source of controversy over the years. Tex Schramm was believed to be a "one man" committee in choosing inductees and many former Cowboys players and fans felt that Schramm deliberately excluded linebacker Lee Roy Jordan because of a bitter contract dispute the two had during Jordan's playing days. When Jerry Jones bought the team he inherited Schramm's Ring of Honor "power" and immediately inducted Jordan.

Jones also had controversy. For four years he was unsuccessful in convincing Tom Landry to accept induction. Meanwhile, he refused to induct Tex Schramm (even after Schramm's induction to the Pro Football Hall of Fame). In 1993, thanks in part to the efforts of Roger Staubach as an intermediary, Landry accepted induction and had a ceremony on the day of that year's Cowboys-Giants game (Landry had played and coached for the Giants). In 2003, Jones finally chose to induct Tex Schramm. Schramm and Jones held a joint press conference at Texas Stadium announcing the induction. Unfortunately, Schramm did not live to see his ceremonial induction at the Cowboys-Eagles game that fall.

However, some numbers of retired players, such as Roger Staubach #12 and Bob Lilly #74, are unofficially kept "inactive" to prevent them from being worn by current or future players. Troy Aikman #8, and Emmitt Smith #22, are other examples of this unofficial "rule. "

The most recent inductees were: Troy Aikman, All-Time NFL leading rusher Emmitt Smith and Michael "the Playmaker" Irvin, known as "The Triplets". The Cowboys waited until Smith had retired as a player before inducting Aikman and Irvin, so all three could be inducted together, which occurred during half time at a Monday Night Football home game against the arch-rival Washington Redskins on September 19, 2005. Monday Night Football ( MNF) is a Live television broadcast of the National Football League.

Although the team does not officially retire jersey numbers, it is uncommon to find any current players wearing the number of one of the "Ring of Honor" inductees. The numbers of inductees Aikman (8), Staubach (12), Hayes and Smith (22), Perkins and Harris (43) and Lilly (74) were not worn during the 2006 season.
