I'm still tearing up, I'm glad he got in while he is still able to enjoy it. Swagger was barely a word before Jimmy, but it described his teams to a T.....it was a great feeling as a fan to know your team was the best in the league game in and game out.

From what Jimmy has said, he was going to leave either way. Supposedly had the date circled on his calendar, he didn't want to get complacent and referred to himself as a "gypsy".

I think what I dislike the most is that Jerry is a great negotiator so he probably could have convinced Jimmy to stay a few more seasons.

Jimmy only went 2 rounds in the NFL, but regardless who you want to believe on the Jimmy vs Jerry feud, I suspect Jimmy wasn't much different than Parcells who had to go from team to team not only for the personal accomplishment but to avoid the burnout.

Great quote from Troy Aikman in 2018: "This is the Cowboys Ring of Honor. It's not the Jerry Jones Ring of Honor. It's not the Tex Schramm Ring of Honor. It's the Cowboys Ring of Honor. ... You cannot, without a doubt, tell the Cowboys story without talking about Jimmy Johnson."

That's awesome. I've never anyone say it that way but Woody sums it up nice. I would also argue he might have been one of the few coaches that could control Miami and that crazy bunch. Little man with a powerful punch. Even Haley and Tuinei respected him and they weren't afraid of anyone.

Cause he weaponized psychology against them.

Well this improves his chances of one day making it Into the ring of honor .
Jerry is such a senile petty old fool.
