I was 10 or 11 when Jones bought the Cowboys and brought in Johnson. I grew up hating the Cowboys and never saw them win shit, just like the Oilers. Then Johnson did what he did and while I never cheered for them, I couldn’t argue with any of it. Then that fucking idiot fired his wizard and brought in someone that I was rightly trained from birth forward to believe was an imp of satan, and I went right back to hatred. Johnson, given what we’ve seen from dipshit since, was a fucking miracle worker. I’d have loved to have been a Dallas fan during that era.

I didn’t know he wasn’t already in the HOF. Absurd that it took this long.

"HOW 'BOUT THEM COWBOYS!!!!"

[Hate 20103]

No doubt. I also believe those 90s teams would have given ANY of the SB winners in the past 20 years more than they could handle. Those teams were in the GOAT list.

Those teams were 2 deep at every position. The only thing that stopped them from winning 5 or 6 Super Bowls was the salary cap and Jerry’s ego.

It should be Troy...or Michael.

[Goo Punch 4275]

Question- JJ has 80 career wins in the NFL. What's the lowest win total for a coach in the HOF (assuming this isn't it)? Goes to show the impact he had on the game during his short time at the top of the league. The Cowboys are *still* among the most valuable sports franchises in the world despite not having been relevant for pretty much the last two decades, and imo that is not the case without JJ and his time in Dallas. 

also, i did not know that he wasn't in the Cowboys Ring of Honor. LMAO, Jerry is so fucking petty.

I’ve mentioned before my dad has Alzheimer’s and I watch him. He raised me on Cowboys football. We watch games every Sunday and he is losing the ability to follow the game. When this came on, he sparked up with tears in his eyes and was talking about the early 90’s Cowboys teams with a sparkle in his eye. He said Jimmy was way overdue for the HOF! We then reminisced about collecting all the Cowboy football cards when I was a kid. He’d take me to the card shop as a reward, for good report cards ha. It was amazing to have my dad spot on coherent for a while. Sports are so much more than a game. Now I’m looking at my old sports cards and crying like a little bitch with nostalgia haha.

Looks like as a guy who was purely a coach...JJ will have the lowest.  A few other guys lower, but looks like they played and coached in their careers (though the link says that they were inducted as a coach)

ssb/  Drew lived in my neighborhood growing up and right across the street from one of my best friends in high school.  he used to come play basketball with us in the offseason.  really nice guy.  we were outside his house when he came home from the hospital after the accident that killed his brother and ended his career. it was very sad. He would have probably played a couple more years and had some more stats that might have put him over the top earlier.

And the Super Bowl MVP is the only time the losing team has ever had the MVP.  For some reason there is a bias against that 70's era Cowboys team.

This is great. Most on here have played sports at some level and probably have a coach that was an influence. We have known for years that Jimmy was that to Troy.

 If Jerry had not screwed it up, there's no telling how many SB's the Cowboys would have won. At least Jimmy got his recognition.

Guy was a genius.  The Hershel Walker trade might go down as one of the best ever.  In a three year span, Johnson drafted the likes of Emmitt Smith, Jimmie Jones, Kenneth Gant,  Russell Maryland, Alvin Harper, Erik Williams, Leon Lett, Dixon Edwards, Kelvin Pritchett, Godfrey Myles, Larry Brown, Darren Woodson, Kevin Smith and Clayton Holmes.  Or how he then traded for Novacek, and defensive backs Issiac Holt, and James.

Minus a Leon Lett brainfart and a gifted title to that cock-gobbler Switzer:  Jimmy had the stage set for FIVE superbowl wins.

I doubt Jerry would lobby to keep him out but I wouldn't doubt that Jerry didn't push him because he wanted to get in before Jimmy.  Jimmy cutting his NFL career short didn't help him.  I wish he had sucked it up for 2 years, won 2 more super bowls and mic dropped but I understand why he did it.

['stache 21770]

I always forget that Jimmy and Jerry are the same age. Jimmy looks so much better. Jerry has had obvious work done and still looks like a preserved corpse most of the time. Also, I love what Jimmy did and am a big fan. But he really didn't coach all that long and his tenure in Miami wasn't very good. Is the HOF allowed to take into consideration his work at Fox as a longstanding member of an iconic pre-game team? Or is two super bowls with the iconic Dallas Cowboys enough.

I also hadn't really thought or noticed that Jimmy isn't in the ROH. That is fucking stupid. Time for Jerry to fucking man up. Maybe if his new sleepover buddy McCarthy can get him another ring he'll be ready to move on and do the right thing.
