Jim Myers
James A. Myers was an American football coach. He coached for 40 years at the collegiate and professional level. He is probably most remembered for his time as line coach and associate head coach with the Dallas Cowboys under Tom Landry. He was also an offseason member of the Card-Pitt team in 1944, playing as a guard. Card-Pitt was the contraction of the Cardinals and Steelers teams during World War II and was generally considered one of the worst teams in history, finishing 0–10 and outscored by 220 points.
After serving as line coach under Henry Russell Sanders at the Vanderbilt University and later University of California, Los Angeles, Myers became head coach at Iowa State University in 1957, where he compiled a 4–5–1 record. He was the head football coach at Texas A&M University from 1958 to 1961. His record there stands at 12–24–4. Myers frequently used a single-wing formation he had learned at Tennessee under head coach Robert Neyland.
Myers was hired by Tom Landry to coach the Dallas Cowboys offensive line in 1962. He was promoted twice, first to offensive coordinator in 1970 and then associate head coach in 1977.
