Twitter reacts to Jimmy Johnson’s induction to Cowboys Ring of Honor
It’s finally done. After revitalizing a downtrodden franchise in a few short seasons, but seemingly being exiled after their quick divorce, Jimmy Johnson is back home. The first head coach Jerry Jones ever hired, hit rock bottom immediately, going 1-15 in his first season after leaving the University of Miami. The turnaround didn’t take long though, as the club was in the playoffs in two seasons, and earning Team of the 90s accolades just two seasons later.
Johnson took Dallas to back-to-back Super Bowl wins before his relationship with the owner deteriorated to the point the two mutually agreed to part ways. Dallas won a third Super Bowl with Johnson’s roster, but soon after started a drought that has almost reached 30 years without seeing a conferene championship game. But Johnson is now home.
At halftime of the club’s Week 17 game against the Detroit Lions, Johnson is now the 24th member of the club’s hall of fame, the Ring of Honor. Twitter reacted to the ceremony and the speech.

The only two head coaches in the Dallas Cowboys’ Ring of Honor.
A Mount Rushmore of two.

Jimmy Johnson is obviously an NFL legend, but don’t underestimate how baller it is that a national network is cutting away from any kind of halftime content for a ceremony at the club level.
The Dallas Cowboys got it like that. Not many other franchises do. If any tbh.

Jimmy Johnson talking about why pro football coaches don’t take risks (and he does) is still completely true 30 years later. Badass. pic.twitter.com/2IwFhrSH3c
