Landry to Face Heat, According to Schramm

IRVING, Tex. — Dallas Cowboys President Tex Schramm said Monday that Coach Tom Landry faces more heat now than at any time in his 38-year career, but he’s confident the coach can handle the pressure.

“I still have confidence in Tom but there is a lot to look at, if not now, then at the end of the season,” Schramm said. “Tom has always been timely and innovative throughout his career. I still believe in him.”

After a 21-10 loss to the 2-9 Atlanta Falcons on Sunday which all but knocked Dallas out of the playoffs, new owner Bum Bright came down hard on Landry.
