To bad he is not 6ΓÇÖ3. He would probably be the number one HS recruit in the country

and Tom Landry WOULD be rolling in his grave. So upset was he at JJ that after the Cowboys, he and his wife Alicia became Giants fans.

He and Vince Lombardi were both on the Giants staff before taking over the Cowboys and Packers respectively. He remained close with the Mara Family. He would be rolling in his grave at how the current generation of Maras has wrecked the franchise - yet again.

I get that it's an interesting thing to see Jerry Jones' grandson win the Landry award, but I don't actually think Tom Landry would be upset by this just because of that fact. I only got to meet him a couple of times as a kid, but I am quite confident that Coach Landry would have judged John Stephen Jones on his own merits and not on his grandfather.
