Clint Murchison the Dallas Cowboys founder and original owner belongs in the Pro Football Hall of Fame 

As the founder and original owner of the Dallas Cowboys the builder of Texas Stadium the man who hired Tom Landry Tex Schramm and Gil Brandt a risk taker game changer 20 consecutive winning seasons 15 seasons with 10 or more wins 17 playoff appearances 5 Super Bowl appearances and 2 Super Bowl championships you can make a case that Clint Murchison deserves a bust in Canton

Here’s a book I recommend reading called Hole in the Roof by his son Burk Murchison

Gil Brandt said this in his Hall of Fame speech Mr Murchison has never received the proper national recognition for his contributions to the NFL his vision in 1960 of what a pro football team should look like led him to one of the showcase franchises in NFL history his resounding commitment to Tom Tex and myself was the foundation of what has become America’s Team

Drew Pearson said this in his Hall of Fame speech I also want to say thank you to the late great Clint Murchison the original owner of the Dallas Cowboys thank you for your ownership and drive to set the blueprint of what the Dallas Cowboys are today we would not be here without you thank you Clint Murchison

Hole in the Roof which I recommend getting ends with this he was short and he was shy but he was truly a pioneer in American sports history

If these quotes don’t tell you Clint Murchison belongs in the Pro Football Hall of Fame I don’t know what does 

You can’t tell the story of the Dallas Cowboys without Clint Murchison without him there are no Dallas Cowboys

He was among the Centennial Class finalists in 2020 but wasn’t elected he was among the Coach Contributor semi finalists in 2023 but didn’t make the final 12 he was among the Contributor candidates in 2026 but didn’t make the semi finalists

I don’t know why Clint Murchison wasn’t elected as part of the Centennial Class maybe the Blue Ribbon Panel that elected the Centennial Class felt it was more important to focus on one of the faces of NFL Films (Steve Sabol) a commissioner (Paul Tagliabue) and a GM (George Young)

Jerry Jones is rightfully in the Pro Football Hall of Fame but what about his predecessor Clint Murchison? 

I don’t get why Clint Murchison the man who founded America’s Team doesn’t get talked about for and isn’t in the Pro Football Hall of Fame he’s also not in the Cowboys Ring of Honor which is shocking maybe it’s because he wasn’t more high profile compared to Jerry Jones 

It’s time to honor Clint Murchison with a bust in Canton 

Tom Landry Tex Schramm and Gil Brandt are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and Clint Murchison deserves to join them  

Clint Murchison needs to be in Canton it’s one of Canton’s biggest snubs and it needs to be corrected
