Below is the text in the current version (as i write) of the wiki article. The bold is identical to the article at the web site cited above. This article needs a complete rewrite to since it is too similar to the original.

After setting several passing records with the Lions, he moved on to play for the Baltimore Colts for three seasons where in 1979, as a member of the Colts, he played brilliantly despite a 5-11 record and an season-ending injury to starting quarterback Bert Jones. He passed for a career best 2,932 yards and 15 touchdowns that season. He also played one season with the Chicago Bears and quarterbacked for George Allen in the United States Football League before retiring as a player in 1984.

Landry began his coaching career in 1985, handling the Cleveland Browns quarterbacks and later joined Mike Ditka’s staff as quarterback coach in 1986, following the Bears Super Bowl rout of the New England Patriots.

In Chicago he also coached the wide receivers and tight ends before taking over as offensive coordinator from 1988 to 1992. He was a part of six division championships with them and also worked with Jim McMahon, Doug Flutie, and Jim Harbaugh at the quarterback position.

Following the 1992 season he was hired as the offensive coordinator at the University of Illinois for 2 seasons. In 1994 he was a key reason why Illinois had the second best passing offense in the Big Ten, which eventually carried the team to a 30-0 win in the Liberty Bowl over East Carolina, which was making its first bowl appearance in 16 seasons.

After that, Landry was back with the Lions as the team’s quarterback coach where in 1995 the Lions were the top offensive unit in the NFL and tutored Scott Mitchell to a record-setting 4,000-yard passing mark along with 35 touchdowns that season. David D. (Talk) 20:20, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

I used it as a main source for it and but did some rewritinga when I first created it using facts from 3 articles and a few sports cards, but some does look identical I agree. I rewrote some of it. --Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 01:51, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
