Shame on you Jerry Jones

 

[Runwildboys]

I feel like they did this just to force Jerry's hand.

Wonder what took so long for him to be inducted into the Hurricanes ROH? Would have thought they added him a long time ago.

The bad look for Jerry just got worse.

Seems like they just don't induct coaches very often. There was only one in their hall until they decided to induct both Jimmy and Dennis Erickson at the same time.

That explains it.

Proving once again how Petty Jerry is....

At least the U rectifies their obvious mistakes.

Next up will be the City of Port Arthur giving him the key and having Jimmy Johnson Day. Jerry still stubbornly with his arms folded. That old man sure does hold a grudge...... and jealous of what Jimmy did that he cannot duplicate.

 

[Walker]

He did so much more for Jerry and we still waiting.

This is probably one of those things that will make Jerry double down and not put Jimmy in the RoH.

That is a possibility.

This took far too long. Like the Cowboys, Jimmy built a program that won 3 national titles - 1 with Johnson (87), and two with Erichson (89, 91) as coach.

The "U" has a Ring of Honor?

The Cowboys were the very first to adopt this method to honor their ex-players and coaches. Tex Schram invented the concept of a Ring of Honor. He was opposed to retiring jerseys. Instead, he wanted to use the numbers of retired greats to inspire a young potential star as well as Cowboys fans.

Many football playing universities have rings of honor, fame, etc., like most NFL teams. The University of Miami, Florida started theirs in 1997. The tribute concept is a fitting one for individuals, who left a lasting inspirational legacy upon a school or franchise.

Took them a long time....Jimmy has another 4 or 5 years to their time-frame
