Happy Belated 79th Birthday To Our Legend Jimmy Johnson

[Motorola]

They’re not posting it for the people who are celebrating the birthdays to see, they’re posting it for the fans. I would’ve never known it was Jimmy’s birthday if it wasn’t posted here. It’s something that creates conversation and allows us to reflect back to how great it was when Jimmy was HC.

Well put, KJJ.

Jimmy was a blessing for the Cowboys, for the leadership he provided the entire time during his tenure.

Happy Birthday Jimmy! You've long deserved a place in the Ring of Honor! It's a shame Jerry refuses it.

Yeah, i know right. Just made me feel long in the tooth.

Some group should buy the naming rights to AT&T Stadium and name it Jimmy Johnson Stadium. That would be even better than the ROH.

For his birthday let's make him GM,!!!!
Who's with me????

well if jerry was smarter and could drop the grudge, he would put jimmy in roh, this season! do it for the home tampa game!
then offer him 10 mil a year to be his silent long distance advisor. Do it over phone of video calls, jimmy could stay on his boat or at home.

but jerry has his grudge, his ego, and probably too tight with his money to offer 10 mil a year.

Stupid is as stupid does! Lol!
He probably doesn't wish a deceased family members would, happy birthday....Some people!

I thought initially, he was saying he didn’t give a crap about you

 

[plymkr]

Happy Birthday coach. Really really miss you.

 

[erod]

The happy birthday field is over there!!

 

[Mobinvans]

Honestly, I think its stupid to wish happy birthdays to people who don't see it and frankly don't give 2 craps about you or you saying it.

Come on man

Sorry if you missed it, but the Jimmy Johnson years were nothing short of magical.
Even at 1-15, you could see it, sense the aura of a team bound for greatness.
And, despite his unconventional, selfish and brash tactics, he made it more magical with his bravo - "Oh, we WILL make the playoffs", "The asthma field is over there", "We're not Houston", "How bout dem Cowboys" and, of course, "And you can put it in three-inch headlines. We will win the ballgame.”
Don't back up your boast, you become a laughing stock. Back up your boast, you become a legend.
And if you're a fan, you savor the moments beyond the glory years.
So, happy birthday, Jimmy Johnson, if, for nothing else, the memories you've deposited in the minds of millions of Cowboys fans, particularly those who were blessed enough to witness the glory days.
