Vince Lombardi and Tom Landry both were legendary NFL coaches. Before then, for a brief time, they both were assistant coaches for one fortunate franchise, the New York Giants. In the mid-1950s the two had free reign under Giants head coach Jim Lee Howell to direct their half of the gridiron: Lombardi, the offense; and Landry, the defense. Each departed the team for head-coaching jobs around the same timeLombardi to Green Bay prior to the 1959 season, and Landry to Dallas in 1960and in their collective absence, as their own careers ascended, the Giants gradually fell to depths from which they fully returned only after a quarter of a century of relative misery.
