1960 Dallas Cowboys season

NFL team season (inaugural) August 2023 March 2026 Dallas Cowboys 1960 0–11–1 7th NFL Western Tom Landry Clint Murchison, Jr. Tex Schramm Cotton Bowl Did not qualify RE Jim Doran None true Cowboys seasons alt=Cowboys blue uniform 1960|thumb|Cowboys blue uniform, 1960 The 1960 Dallas Cowboys season was the inaugural season for the franchise in the National Football League (NFL). The Cowboys finished their first season with zero wins, 11 losses, and one tie, finishing last in the Western Conference and in the NFL for that season. Due to ties not counting as a half-win/half-loss at the time, the Cowboys became the first post-World War II team in NFL history to have a .000 winning percentage, being equaled since by the 1976 Buccaneers, 2008 Lions, and 2017 Browns. Their record was also worse than Dallas' previous entry into the NFL, the original Dallas Texans, who finished 1–11 in their only season in Dallas in 1952 and folded after that season.

The franchise was admitted to the league too late to participate in the 1960 NFL college draft. However, majority owner Murchison signed two college players, quarterback Don Meredith from SMU, and running back Don Perkins from New Mexico, to personal services contracts before the draft (and before the franchise was voted into the league). The NFL honored these contracts after the franchise was voted in, although the Baltimore Colts drafted Perkins in the ninth round, and Meredith was also selected by the Chicago Bears in the third round after owner George Halas made the pick to help ensure that the expansion Cowboys got off to a solid start. The franchise was allowed to retain both players, but had to give their third-round and ninth-round choices in the 1962 NFL draft to the Bears and Colts, respectively. On March 13, 1960, the franchise selected 36 players in an expansion draft. Each of the other 12 NFL teams were allowed to protect 25 players from their 36-man roster. The franchise was then given 24 hours to select three players from those unprotected by each other team. The franchise was placed in the league's Western Conference. However, since they were the league's thirteenth franchise in addition to being an expansion franchise, it was decided that they would play every team in the league once, instead of playing each team in their conference twice, as the other teams did. The Cowboys' final pre-season game on September 4 was played in rural northeastern Oregon; they lost 49–14 to the Los Angeles Rams at Pendleton's rodeo grounds.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=S1spAAAAIBAJ&sjid=g-cDAAAAIBAJ&pg=2266%2C503384 Spokesman-Review Spokane, Washington New NFL entry to play Rams in Pendleton Sunday September 2, 1960 13https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=TlspAAAAIBAJ&sjid=g-cDAAAAIBAJ&pg=1721%2C1482600 Spokesman-Review Spokane, Washington Associated Press Rams crush Dallas club September 5, 1960 8 Expansion draft 1960 NFL expansion draft 1960 Dallas Cowboys https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/dal/1960_roster.htm 1960 Dallas Cowboys Starters, Roster, & Players Pro Football Reference January 25, 2017 Baltimore Colts L.
