At about 7:35 WOW. That's a leader.

Sorry for posting in the wrong thread, but I had to share when Coach Johnson was initially informed last year about finally being inducted into the Pro Football Hall Of Fame...



Such a touching video that will last forever.

Happy for Jimmy! Great job Coach… glad he’s in the HOF and now the ROH (finally)!

His speech was heartfelt. Felt for his whole family when he acknowledged he never saw a snap of his sons playing football though…. Damn.

What could have been... We would have pulled off at least one more ring.

Once Jimmy’s Cowboys started to win; they became young rockstars.

Thus, the wild parties off the football field.

Yeah, we all feel that way. But one thing that will always be true is the Cowboys were the first team to win 3 SBs in 4 seasons.

All class....

We did. Barry Switzer got it

Great speech by Jimmy !
Very honest speech too.
Thanks for the youtube version.

Great speech, so glad Jimmy is in the Hall.

Congratulations Coach, well deserved. I'm an old time fan but thise teams Jimmy created on Dallas were among the best I've ever seen.

78 years old? Man he looks good. I didn't snap that he's that old. He looks way better than Jerry and they're both the same age.

Here's a pretty cool video. What a ride it was!

This coach was just amazing. What he did for this organization is unbelievable. He single handedly flushed the culture, Rebuilt, tanked in 89 to go from 1 win to 7, then 11 and finally 13. He gives credit to everyone. Master motivator, always positive. I was young and I thought we had 10+ years, thought we would have had a Bill Walsh, Gibbs type run but it was so short. Something like that would never happen. No coach would walk away from back to back titles with a chance to go for 3. Strong willed but still a man of principle. He is everything that Jerry was not. His NFL films football life is amazing.

He's not in the ROH yet … lol. We'll see how quickly it happens.

It was interesting to see Jimmy's TV colleagues pushing Jerry to commit to putting Jimmy in the ROH.
