@@tacotom3492 He knew the drug house was about to be exposed and free agency was coming. He orchestrated the fight with Jerry to leave and get paid. It all blew up at a dnner or party. Both were drunk.
@@tacotom3492spoken like a true Jerry Jones fan. You and the rest of them have no idea what the real story is. Jimmy is the absolute KING of building champions !!!
Simply the best, he can spot talent when everyone else spots trash. When with the Dolphins he spotted Zach Thomas in the 6th round, then started him in the first game. Zach is not big, he’s not fast but that man out works and out studies everyone. His first tackle, he hit the guy so hard he knocked him out completely. He would read the offensive set and call out their play to his guy’s. Jimmy loves SMART players, 100% truth. Oh and now Mr. Thomas (my friend) is in the HOF. Yeah, Jimmy loves smart players. Simply the best
I will be forever grateful that Jimmy passed through Dallas,wish he could of stayed a couple more years but Back to Back Super Bowls,I can't be to upset about that.
My dad was the biggest Oilers Fan and during this era of the Cowboys, I was slowly becoming a Cowboys Fan. I can say the 93 AFC Championship solidified it for me. My dad was just without a team when the Oilers for a few years. He packed up all his Oilers stuff and was without a team. He didn’t like the vibes of the U or those early 90s Cowboys. But, he met Jimmy Johnson in a hotel one night - just randomly. I’ll never forget.. he would always call home from work trips and he would have a lil buzz going, be a little more lively than normal. Anyway, he met Jimmy Johnson and he was the nicest, most down to earth guy and they talked about ball and mutual friends in college coaching and that’s what I know about Jimmy Johnson. He isn’t the kind of famous coach you could really like, meet only to learn he was an asshole. Jimmy Johnson is the kind of a guy you could really dislike, meet, and call home to tell your family what a nice guy he is.
Q.T.L. Quality Time Left, and that's why he won, because he's smart and tough. The Cowboys, Dolphins, Oklahoma ST Cowboys, and the U, etc, were lucky to have Coach Jimmy!
Best Coach the Cowboys ever had. Got the trades, made the picks. Treated his players well (the good ones) One more year and we would have won 3 in a row. A NFL record.
As a Philadelphia Eagles fan, I absolutely HATED this man when he coached the Cowboys! As the years have passed, I can recognize his incredible football IQ.
Jimmy Johnson Born and Raised in the state of Texas went to the University of Arkansas Coach the University of Miami won a national championship and in the NFL he won two super bowl titles in 1992 and 1993 now a pro football hall of famer
You must admit it he knew how to pick the players and get the most out of them. It's obvious if Jimmy and Jerry could've kept things right together the Cowboy organization could may of certainly won more championships together and maybe more than anyone could match. The team was still young and had many more years together along with others to come. The proof is just looking at who from those teams have been inducted into the pro football HOF.
@user-dv3do1od2r he's before my time as well. Paul Brown won an NFL, All American Football Conference, college football, and high-school state title. He's the only coach in sports history to have won a professional, college, and high-school championship.
Three Super Bowls in 4 years ain’t too shabby but if Jimmy would have stayed it would have been at least 4 Bowls in 4 years. With the drafting skills of this man, who knows what it may have been. I’m a Dolphin fan but have absolute RESPECT for Jimmy and what he did for the Cowboys
What made Jimmy great other than the Herschel Walker trade was picking players in the draft. That's what the Cowboys missed after Jimmy left. They couldn't get the right guys and the Cowboys fell further behind. Just look at what Jimmy drafted who became starters in the NFL and were big parts in their Super Bowl run. Darren Woodson, Kevin Smith, Larry Brown, Dixon Edwards, Robert Jones, Darren Smith, Alvin Harper, Erik Williams, Emmitt Smith, Moose Johnston. I can go on and on those guys were part of the 3 Super Bowl wins out of 4 years.
TBF, the Cowboys the last 10 years draft wise are top 4-5 statistics wise but yes, Jimmy knew talent but so did Jerry ... He did after all hire the man 😂
To bad he couldn't replicate the same success when he went to the dolphins. He got lucky how the players they drafted turn out in Dallas. Was great for one franchise not at all for the next one.
Jimmy was on his way to HISTORY with 4 maybe 5 SB in a row if our teams owner wasn't so egotistical and arrogant!!!! He's in the HALL now he's in the Ring of Honor where he belongs 🏆🏆 HOW BOUT THEM COWBOYS
Sometimes you just have to win in your own way. He was the perfect coach for the University of Miami, he had the bravado and the guts to challenge the old guard. I would love to know where it is written that Notre Dame and USC are supposed to win.
I imagine his players always had such respect for him and at this stage of life hold him in such high regard despite it being well established that he was an asshole most of the time and demanded so much from them all the time because he was simply up front and real all the time. Personally I’ll take someone who’s straight up all the time even if they’re a douche at times over somebody who pretends to be nice all the time but are full of shit and use protecting feelings as the excuse. At least if you have the true expectations and know where you stand you have a genuine chance to succeed and if do fall short knowing precisely what was expected then you can accept that things not working out and be able to take ownership of your role in things and know how to have a better chance to succeed in the future. So having a coach who will say the unpopular reality straight up you can interact with them better because you don’t have to be paranoid or play a guessing game. If a coach is simply real with you about how things work it may be hard to hear but you can at least know that what they tell you you can trust and proceed accordingly. Even something as simple as him talking about his scale of where players stand and how where a player sits on that scale determines how they’ll be treated compared to another play who did the same thing and frankly saying that a player at the top of the scale will get away with something that a bottom of the scale player will get cut for. Obviously this is how the world has always worked and nobody is truly surprised to hear it but a coach actually cutting a bottom of his scale player for something and then straight up saying that if it were Troy nothing would happen is refreshing since there are so many authority figures out there that if asked will pretend like they’d handle it the same way for every person even though nobody would ever believe that to be true. And if we’re honest about it most of us would never actually find that a good idea to operate in a way that your rules are the most important thing and that applying them equally to all is important enough that you’d cast aside the key factors of success to operate a perceived morality. And it’s crazy to see how opposite Jimmys approach is from Jerry. Jimmy would just tell you what’s up and you’d know where it’s all at while Jerry hopes on a radio show where he makes passive aggressive remarks or backhanded compliments about guys to pretend he isn’t doing what he ends up doing. If you were coaching a team and Jimmy was your GM he’d be real with you and if you were entering your final contract year he’d tell you that your future depends on how the season goes and you would coach the season knowing what you need to do and what happens if you don’t while Jerry sends out a press release about how great you’ve done and how thrilled he is with you yet has you enter your final year which paints a clear picture that what he says isn’t true otherwise he’d extend you. And then the public chirps since they know it’s BS whereas if they just shared the truth the public would get it and not take an issue.
Not a Jerry Jones fan BUT I can understand why Jerry disliked the betrayal. Jimmy Johnson was talking to other teams to learn more about Charles Haley and what he did in San Francisco personnel which were horrendous btw. JJ didnt WANT that guy on the Dallas Cowboys and OPENLY SAID HE DIDNT WANT HIM. It was Jones, who LOVED pulling out the GM & OWNER card, who superseded Johnson- overruled whatever JJ screamed and made the trade for Charles. So much so, Jimmy didnt speak to Jerry for about a week and Jones personally pick picked up Haley at the airport and took care of him. FACTS. Jimmy never wanted him but now tells Belichick he made the trade for Haley??? Utter BULLSHIT.
Jimmy Johnson would not be a Hall Of Famer without the Herschel Walker trade but at the same it definitely help the Cowboys franchise to get better results of winning two super bowl championships in 1992 and 1993 and it paid off big time not to mention Jerry Jones who is the owner of the Cowboys wouldn't be a Hall Of Famer either without the trade to send Walker to Minnesota too
well it's a darn shame that all that disdain for JJ and the cowboys had to be wasted by this episode. The cowboys are still hated, but JJ enjoying life is a treat.
Love Jimmy now I couldn't stand him as a coach cause he was so hardcore & so hartless towards his players. He accomplished what he wanted to as a winner but angered so many people.
Interesting analysis below challenging the myth that Johnson wanted Charles Haley and showing in reality Jones overruled Johnson on Haley. Worth adding is this - Johnson didn’t want Troy Aikman; he wanted Steve Walsh because he felt Walsh would improvise with the flow of the game where Aikman was too inflexible to do so.
It's a shame that Jerry Jones & Jimmy Johnson couldn't put their egos aside because the 1990's Dallas Cowboys could've had a run more dominant that Green Bay Packers 1960's Pittsburgh Steelers 1970's & San Francisco 49ers 1980's the turning point came when Jimmy Johnson & Jerry Jones parted ways Jerry Jones went on to hire Barry Switzer who couldn't put the fear & earned respect for his players the way Jimmy Johnson had respect
As a 49ers fan can’t believe they gave Dallas Halley… but thanks Jerry for firing Jimmy & hiring McCarthy brilliant 49ers fans enjoying it. 30 years of superior ownership lol 😆
Penn State made Testaverde look like a cluless freshman at the Feista bowl. A 5th yr senior who's course load that yr included : " Introduction to Sports " ..Oi vey.
Little did Jimmy would know is that Jerry would earn Billions but be empty for decades. Then midseason 2023-2024 season decide to finally induct Jimmy into the Dallas Cowboys Hall of Fame and end the curse and all as America unite at the SB that has been waiting for us all 😢🎉 😅 and let the bandwagon ppl for other teams finally come back home. Y’all just come back home now.
I was a 90's kid and loved watching them growing up. While I know it's an honor for him to be in the ring of honor part of me wishes Jimmy would tell Jerry no thanks and to politely shove it. Almost too little too late after all of these years...
Jerry Jones is the reason why the it’s been 27 years since the Cowboys fans like me have seen a cowboys Super Bowl! This is the reason I despise Jerry Jones!!
