News: DMN: Jimmy Johnson: Jerry Jones told me I'll be in Cowboys' 'Ring of Honor'

[DallasEast]

Jerrah..

You can't have Troy, Emmitt and Michael in the RofH..

..and not the HC who got them there.

I've forgotten..is Landry there..?

He is..right..?

Or no..I know Landry and he were not on speaking terms when he passed.

So maybe Landry isn't there.

Which is it?

And rightfully so!!!

Jimma should be a slam dunk.

I will toast you, Jimma, cause you are the best!

The only good thing that Jerry ever did. And go and get the players that Jimmy wanted. Jerry was a good owner then. That's what he needs to do now.

Yes he's definitely under estimated the value of a a coach with fire in his belly.

The Ring of Honor isn't Jerry's....

There is 99% of the problem - he thinks it is.

Jerry Jones asked on @1053thefan about Jimmy Johnson possibly going into the Ring of Honor: "I have no comments about that."

So if we translate this in my pea brain. "If I put him in the ROH, I will be admitting he was responsible for the Super Bowls in the 90s". I know I am reading into it, but JJ just seems to want to prove he is a football guy

Jimmy Johnson was so awesome, they had to invent free agency to destroy that dynasty.

I've heard from somewhere that Bill Walsh said if not for it, the Cowboys would have rattled off like 6 or 7 straight SBs. I remember, because of the depth Jimmy built, the defense would be throwing people in on every down and just running over people. Commentators use to rave about the speed that JJ brought back to the defense, having guys that could pursue anybody across the whole field, including laterally. The intensity was just a sight to behold.

If the refs called that obvious PI on Deion against Irvin when they were making their comeback, the 49ers would not have won. It was right in front of the ref too, clear arm bar. The Cowboysspotted the 49ers and were making what would go down as one of the most phenomenal comebacks ever. The 49ers and their godfather were just dying for the refs to blow the whistle.

They may be friends but there is definitely a sense of one upmanship between these two.

Jerry definitely seems to convey that feeling. Even all these years later!

Jimmy Johnson says Jerry Jones has told him that he will be installed in the Cowboys' "Ring of Honor." The question, however, remains when.

"Actually, Jerry told me three years ago that he was going to put me in the Ring of Honor,” Johnson said.

Johnson, whose Cowboys coaching reign grows brighter with each ensuring season, tells that to host Dave Barnett on Tuesday's installment of Fox Sports Southwest's "Icons of Coaching."

Jimmy should say "I'll accept when Jerry resigns as GM."

And the salary cap. The Cowboys could outspend the poorer teams and always be on top of the football world.

 

[Corso]

Jerry tells the fans the team is a contender every year... so we know he has no problem lying in someone's face.

Repeatedly.

And that he controls everything including the RofH.

ha!

 

[Zekeats]

I roll my eyes every time I see someone say, "Bring Jimmy back..."

Different era plus the guy is way too comfortable on his fishing boat...

Your kidding me right? Whats the new era? The era for coaching idiots like Garrett? This guy could get us to 11 wins face timing from his boat.

 

[Deep_South]

It's hard to take the Ring of Honor seriously without Jimmy Johnson's name up there. Jerry finally came to his senses with Drew Pearson, so maybe he'll figure out eventually his intransigence just makes him look small and enhances Jimmy's reputation as the only person who could build a Super Bowl winning team with Jerry in the house.

So true.....if somehow Jerry ever got a Super Bowl win without Jimmy he would put Jimmy in the next year

 

[cowboys1981]

Jimmy doesn't need his name on any wall. His name will never be forgotten by his fans and his legacy will outlive us. People will remember him for what he did for this franchise. He's the perfect example of how to tear and build a championship team. He had the guts to sever ties with players for the better of the franchise; which is what instilled a no nonsense environment. Jerry could learn a lot from Jimmy.

 

[jazzcat22]

What is the point of no comment? So he can tease the possibility?

He wants to tease it on his terms, not to the radio station...just guessing, but seems reasonable.
