I would rather them bring Harbaugh or Matt Patricia in...

What if they brought him in to be in charge of talent acquisition? Id definitely be onboard with that...

As a practical matter, no, he's too old.

Though I don't see how he could do worse than Garrett...

I know this has about as much of a chance of happening as a snowball's chance in hell, but if Jimmy Johnson were to be lured out of retirement by Jerry, how would you feel about it, and what would be the result.

5 years $60 Million might do it.
He likes it just fine where he is at. He gets to take vacations and still gets a real gig!

Jimmy was a great coach and a great motivator,but I'm not sure he'd be so great in today's NFL.I think Jimmy is just waiting to get in the H.O.F. now.(not too sure he'll get there though.)

1. Jimmy isn't coming back in any capacity.
2. Patricia is reported to be taking the Lions HC job.
3. Jim Harbaugh is a booger-eating clown.

I know he isn't... Just a fantasy. His eye for talent is rivaled by very few.

The lions may leave Loserville with Patricia.

Harbaugh got Crapperneck to the SB...

but but what if Jimmy comes back, Landry is the AC and Romo is the QB? I bet we would have won every game this season!

He's 75. Probably drop dead if he spent the required time getting the team ready in various stages of a NFL season.

10 years ago yes. today no. Love Jimmy but he knows best that the GM ego would eventually meddle in his process. Jimmy's too smart and too old to deal with that.

Going with your premise (rather than just saying he'd never do that), I'm not sure that Johnson would have the same kind of success he had in the 1990s. There was a lot that went into our success then, including the Herschel Walker trade, the lack of a salary cap and limited free agency.

He was not able to duplicate his success in Miami despite having Dan Marino. (He did make the playoffs three out of four years, though.)

I do think our defenses would be better under him and that he deserves more credit than he probably receives for how good our defenses were in the early 90s. I'd be interested in seeing what he could do even though my expectations would not be for him to produce Super Bowl victories like he did when everything lined up right the first time around.

The man was a perfectionist, the job takes a lot of energy. I don't think he has the will or the energy to do it. Nevermind all the other factors involved.
