So he's gonna go into the Pro Football HOF as a Dallas Cowboy (coach)...yet still not be in the Dallas Cowboys ROH. Has that happened with any other ex-Cowboy HOFers?

Is this (still) all because of Jerry's ego? I thought the two of them buried the hatchet years ago?

He needs to be in the ROH -- it's just plain stupid otherwise. Wonder if voting Jimmy for the HOF was a shot at Jerry?
Tex Schramm. He was elected to the HOF in 1991 and put in the ROH in 2003 after he died although he knew he was going in before. Coach Landry was inducted in the HOF in 1990 and put in the ROH in 1993.

You think Jimmy would pick any of his old stars in Dallas to be the one to introduce him? I'm guessing he'd let one of his close assistants from the days or family?
The triplets would be perfect, or surprise guest interruption Jerry Jones with Vince McMahon entrance music "No Chance"...

It’s called respect.

Aikman knows his success and the teams was due to Jimmy putting all the pieces together and getting the most out of his players.

Well done Fox! Moment was genuine and not rehearsed as every time Jerrah mugs for the cameras.

This is just awesome and well deserved. Jimmy being a HOFer and not in the Cowboys ROH is just testament to the pettiness of one man.

Garret vanquished and Jimmy into the HOF. Though we aren't in the playoffs, that's a hell of a good week for cowboy fans.

I think you have to be retired for 5 years at a minimum. In any case, Jerry never worked with Tex nor follow the Dallas Cowboys prior to buying the team. Jimmy Johnson has been retired for 20 years and is the architect of the only success Jerry has ever had as an owner. There is no excuse for Jimmy Johnson not to be in the ROH.

How sad and hollow will the ROH be if Jerry puts Garrett into it before Jimmy?

Yet...there are those who will defend old Jerry...even though he's clearly messed up this whole situation. Jimmy should have been in the ROH years ago...
