Who was HC in New York when Lombardi and Tom Landy were assistants?

 

 

Allie Sherman I believe ... although Lombardi if not Landry may have been there for the last year or two of the Jim Lee Howell era ... I'd have to go look it up to be sure.

 

E2A - I had it backwards ... they were assistants only during the Howell era (they were Howell hires) each departing just a year or two prior to Sherman's arrival in 1961 - Lombardi in 1959, Landry in 1960.

Probably just as impressive is the Schottenheimer tree:

 

- Bill Cowher

------ Marvin Lewis

------ Ken Wisenhunt

- Herm Edwards

- Tony Dungy

------ Lovie Smith

------ Rod Marinelli

------ Mike Tomlin

- Wade Phillips

More impressive if you take Herm Edwards out. I thought Edwards would be under Dungy, as far as that goes.

I recall hearing a story about someone wandering through the Giants front office while Lombardi and Landry were there - he walked past one office, and there's Lombardi furiously diagramming and erasing plays on a chalkboard; he walks past another office, Landry is in another office, watching game film; he walks out into the reception area and there's Howell reading the newspaper.

George Halas

---- The rest of them

This is probably the most accurate of the responses to this thread.

 

Bill Walsh isn't the trunk of any tree, simply a large branch with ripe foilage. He didn't invent football. The guys that deserve the credit are the coaches during the first 10 years of football. These coaches invented fundamentals, then taught them to the guys that taught the guys that taught Bill Walsh, who taught the guys in his "tree". The whole reference to a coaching tree being in likeness to a family tree just annoys me. It isn't a family. It is just knowledge that is passed on, and the tree should start much higher than Bill Walsh or Sweatshirt Bill.

He is the root of The Tree, and all branches and twigs (really, what else is Mike Tice?) by default.

 

 

ETA - by the way youngsters, Bill Walsh's Branch is actually Paul Brown's. Just sayin'

In that case, it should probably start even higher than Halas, with Pop Warner or something.

 

Sid Gillman is the fount from which all modern offense springs, as far as (relatively) latter-day coaches having a tremendous impact.
