- WFAA's Joe Trahan talks with former Dallas Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson about his current life in the Florida Keys, and the Super Bowl success of the Cowboys.
Simply the best! Jimmy did such a great job for the Cowboys! Thank you!
Simply the best hall of famer brilliant funny smart witty icon
Jimmy is one of the best teachers of all !
Yes he is
I was born and raised in Dallas and have always been a diehard Cowboys fan, but still to this day, can’t stand Jerry Jones. Not only for how he ran the great Coach Landry and Tex Schramm out like a couple of juvenile trespassers, but also for the way he treated Coach Johnson after building a winning team resulting in three Super Bowl victories.
Jimmy is a great, humble, family man who truly brings out the best in people. Thank you for all those great years Coach!
Smart man, Jimmy. And a great coach.
The Vikings thought there were pulling a fast one on Jimmy when Johnson traded Herschel Walker to the Minnesota in 1989 for draft picks. The rest is history.
A class act!!!
Jimmy is living my dream in the Keys and I hope I’m alive to see him in the ring of honor , such a deserving guy and wish him nothing but the best 🙏🏻
What an amazing glimpse into the man, the coach, Jimmy Johnson. Thank you Jimmy!
I miss him he touches my heart and he will always be a Dallas Cowboy period
Jimmy was a real head coach and a class act.....thanks Jimmy for your hard work with da boys we miss you bud
Agree. Real head coaches who know how to coach every aspect of the game are rare.
The question I have and no one has seriously addressed...Why did it take this long for Jimmy Johnson to get into the NFL Hall Of Fame. Reporter said it perfectly...."Can't tell the history of the NFL without mentioning Coach Jimmy Johnson". From drafting players, trading players, motivating players, coaching players and training assistants...literally changed the game on so many different levels; why did it take him that long NFL?
you know whyyy 🤣 jerry jones haten a**
Jimmy should have been the first and Darren woods on still isn't in
Jerry was in his way.
cause jerry the football idiot jones opposed him getting into the football hall of fame.
Jerry Jones is the Mr Bruns of the Dallas Cowboys and the ring of honor.. He's the problem in Dallas folks.
Coach Johnson took a team that was in the cellar to stellar. Great job Coach!!!
Jimmy and Tom Landry are my two favorite Cowboys coaches ever! As far as my list of all-time favorite players the list would be too long to list but it would have to start with Don Meredith, he was the essential Dallas Cowboy and really showed what character was. ✌️😎
I've heard Coach K say similar things about his relationship with Bob Knight. He never knows where things stand between the two. Appreciate Johnson's candor in this interview.
I love what you did for the Cowboys, one of my favorite sayings you said was you won't draft a dumb player.
thanks @WFAA for providing this. i always enjoy hearing from jimmy johnson. great coach and a winner too.
cheers from southern ontario, canada 🍁
Jimmy was such an inspiration. He used to drive to work the same way each day because he said he conditioned him to succeed, so I actually started doing it. While I didn't succeed on his level, it did oddly give me a measure of confidence. He was a master psychologist and that may be his secret to his success. And I was not a Jimmy guy. I loathed him in Miami, and didn't think he was fit to fill the shoes of the great Tom Landry. But I have to say, he did. And had he stayed on, I think they easily had another two or three trophies in them.
@Chillbillvol2 Take it easy. Landry invented the 4-3 defense.
@Chillbillvol2 Landry 20 straight winning seasons, 15 straight playoff appearances (unprecedented at the time in all sports) His longevity only surpassed by Curly Lambeau and George Halas. Landry cast a large shadow over the profession. Jimmy was great, but one was a sprinter and the other was a marathon runner. Cowboy fans were blessed to have both for the first 34 seasons of the franchise, 29 of which belonged to the man in the hat.
@Chillbillvol2 But you missed the main point. One lasted 29 seasons, the other lasted five. If you took Landry's first five years, there wasn't greatness. It came over a long influential tenure. Jimmy's first (and only) five were great. It wouldn't have lasted over 29 seasons with roster turnover.
@Chillbillvol2 Jimmy wasn't bad, I liked him and hated to see him leave. But he couldn't have touched Landry's record over 29 seasons. Nobody did. There's no shame in that. Jimmy would agree.
Jimmy seems to be talking from the heart, and I believe he's telling the truth. He didn't get treated right for all his sacrifice and hard work. His family suffered because he threw heart and soul into the Dallas Cowboys and Jerry Jones didn't see it at that time.
This man is simply a legend,one of the greatest coaches of all time, I'm a Texan but have really never been a cowboys fan, I was the other guy that backed the HOUSTON OILERS, but I've got so much respect for him,and what he accomplished in Dallas,no thanks to Jerry,
you go jimmy!!! golden years baby!!
Really enjoyed this interview
What a fantastic interview. THIS from a Bills fan who suffered through two tough SB losses to this guy. Very impressed with him and the interviewer as well.
Get him into the RING OF HONOR NOW !!!!!
There’s no one more deserving of that than JJ !!!!
So lucky to have him coach my two favorite teams Canes and Cowboys. !
I miss Jimmy Johnson so much from those great days in Dallas.
Jimmy Johnson was one of the best Coaches
Jimmy Johnson Big Chill Key Largo, FL. A must go if your in the Flordia Keys.
Total class act!
All I can say is Wow, Coach Johnson is so fascinating to listen to and I’m not even a Cowboys fan. While I’m listening to him I’m thinking how incredibly intelligent & insightful he is and that was before he mentioned his interest in psychology. No wonder he had so much success. He instantly jumped into my top 5 list of sports personalities that I would like to have lunch with.
Happy for you Jimmy! You worked hard, it’s time to relax! Thanks for all you’ve done for College and Pro football!
Thank you Coach I always enjoy hearing you speak. Thanks for the memories
The goat coach Jimmy Johnson. Absolute best. ❤
Jerry jones will have a serious problem with cowboy fans if Coach jimmy johnson is gone before getting into the ring of honor. This man has done a lot for Jerry, and the Dallas Cowboys, respect an honor this man and put him in the ring of honor
LUV Jimmy Johnson...Key Largo👍💪
One of the best interviews I’ve seen
As a Washington fan all my life…Jimmy Johnson is a true Class Act. Jerry was just so wrong about Jimmy’s greatness…something I will just never understand.
As an owner you are supposed to give the credit to the people that are working hard for you.
Joe great interview with a coaching legend….! 🔥
What an incredible interview!
That’s why you were able to coach anyone so well ima read that book
Everyone is talking about Jimmy here, but GREAT interview, Joe Trahan! Insightful and honest questions. Although JJ doesn't need any help speaking to people, he makes it easy for Jimmy to answer his questions.
Wonderful interview, I always hated Dallas, but I never hated Jimmy.
As a long time Cowboys fan from way back to 1975, I was blessed to witness such great Cowboys as Tom Landry, Roger Staubach, Drew and Preston Pearson, Washington, Renfro, Waters and Harris, Billy Joe Dupree, Too Tall Jones, Larry Cole, Jethro Pugh, Harvey Martin, D.D. Lewis, Lee Roy Jordan Robert Newhouse, Tony Dorsett, Hollywood Henderson and Randy 'The Manster' White, and of course the super talented 90's team that was put together mostly by the genius of Jimmy Johnson.
Staubach will always be my #1 favorite Cowboy of all-time with Randy White a close second, but Jimmy is right up there with those two guys in my books.
There were two huge Cowboy's losses over the years that I never really got over to this day (the loss to the 49ers on Jan. 10, 1982 for the NFC Championship, and the loss of Jimmy Johnson).
Even though Barry Switzer was able to coach Dallas to another SB win in 1995, everyone knew it was still Jimmy's team, and I've often stated that the Cowboys' will never win another SB until Jerry Jones either sells the team or is pushing up daisies....neither has happened yet, so the 'Curse of Jerry Jones' lives on to this day.
Bingo.
Your the best Jimmy, those were great days in the early 90s to be a Cowboy fan.
Excellent...Truly Excellent !
What a great pure interview.
Wow, awesome interview!
Well Jimmy is now in the ring of honor 😊
What a loss, for Pro football, and the Cowboys. The fact that Jerry Jones. Went into the Pro football hall of fame. Before Jimmy, was a joke. Best coach in Cowboys history.
a bad joke at that. jerry the football idiot's stupidity is being rewarded by the people he buys to get him in the hof for what exactly? for ruining a dynasty?
@@vilhelmhammershoi3871 I believe he did line someone’s pocket. Because, unless they’re putting him in for what the Cowboys did, from 1989 to 1995. What has he done, for the game of football, that’s hall of fame worthy? And I’m a Cowboys fan.
@@oldmansilas559 I support you 1000% and I LIVE in Dallas.
Great interview
Great interview!
Jimmy picked my teammate L.Brown in 12th round (TCU)..brilliant. 👍🙏🏈
Tremendous value w/ Brown. He started 72 of 79 games at right cornerback. Insane value! I just recently purchased his 1992 & 1993 away blue game jersey.
A great man . . .
WOW Jimmy is so DEEP the man was no joke he will always be missed GO BIG D.
Great interview and interviewer
I can tell you right now, Jimmy was the only coach that could have those players play at that insanely high level.
Jimmy I was raised just like you. And their is nothing wrong with doing the right thing
Jimmy Johnson a true forthcoming candid leader, no excuses man, no wonder he became what he became not only for Dallas but for football, what a legacy.
one of a (very) few heroes of mine...this world, and young men especially, greatly need teachers like Jimmy
The BEST Coach of all Time. His legacy will always be talked about. Great interview. Thank you Jimmy
I think a guy named Bill Belichick might have a different opinion about the best coach of all time!
Who do you think belichik has been consulting with for years if Jimmy had not left and had an owner that had stayed out of the way most likely he would have done what belichik did long before. Jimmy great coach motivator evaluator strategist no nonsense. We missed something special as howie long put it way back in '94 when he left. Recognize boyi
No questions about the generational drought? Jerry Jones as a great owner? When Jerry's gone--all people will remember is that he hired Jimmy; ran him off; and never won another Super Bowl. If you're going to the trouble of sending a crew from Dallas to Florida, ask tough questions!
Awesome👌
Class act! The sort of thing thats missing from the dallas cowboys organization
Jimmy is the best -
I love him!!! We lost the very best Dallas had!!!Johnson and Tom Landry were the best!! I am so happy he is living his best life he truly paid his dues!!!Johnson treats everyone fairly!! Simply a class act!!! Jones should have taken notes and learned how to be a decent person!! To deny your own child and segregate her from your life in order to avoid owning up to your past is absolutely disgraceful!!!
Jimmy was, by far, the best coach of all time.
Just one word-WOW
I’m a life long Cowboy hater but I love Jimmy Johnson.
I love Jimmy he is the real deal
true legend
I am coming fishing with you! Always loved you as a coach and a person. Problem with Jerry Jones is his ego! A great leader hire great people to do a job and leaves them alone and lets them do it! Jerry missed that boat. You my friend, are a class act and you continue to do great work! It lonely at the top Jimmy. Waaahooo!
the problem with jerry jones is his incredible football stupidity! failing s a general manager for over 28 years... is not a laughing matter.
This great coach put his WHOLE life on hold to be the best in professional football! Not many people could be as focused and driven as he was! To me, one of the best coaches of all time! Probably the best! He was the first coach to have a NCAA National Championship and an NFL championship! Because of the team Jimmy Johnson put together and Jerry Jones hiring him, Barry Switzer is also on this list of three, the other on the list is Pete Carroll of Seattle.
DC4L! Go Cowboys!
I like Switzer too very fond of him sad that no one has done what they did since
Jimmy’s strength was evaluating talent, he killed it in the draft after trading Herschel Walker for all the draft picks.
I am forever grateful for what Jimmy did building those great Cowboys teams!
Biggest problem with the Cowboys is Jerry Jones. Jerry wants to be bigger than the team and to be the face of the team.
I'm a big jj fan. Love the U and the cowboys . Could you please give the name of the book. Would love to read it. Thanks jimmy for being a true person.
man this guy is a NASCAR legend, one of the greats
Forget the numbers..Jimmy is THE GOAT HC.. best eye for evaluating talent
Jerry Jones biggest mistake was his Ego letting go of Jimmy Johnson He had at least 2 more SBs in him and the team
Jerry Jones has run off three HOF Coaches
There were more coaches at Pittsburgh who made the pros when Jimmy was there, then any university ever. Awesome, JJ.
class act
Jimmy Johnson is the face of Dallas Cowboys
I like Jerry, but it’s an absolute travesty that Jimmie isn’t in the ring of honor
Someday…
Makes you wonder if Jerry has long put his pride in the way and felt, "I need to win a Super Bowl without Jimmy's players before I invite him into ring of honor."
I wonder because that ceremony will bring back Dynasty memories, contrasted with failures of last 27 years and counting.
@@kevinburke8464 bingo.
@@kevinburke8464 wow. Never saw it from that perspective but makes total sense! I could definitely see that.
Makes no sense…the Ring of Honor is a given if a guy is in the Hall already. Geez.
Jimmy...I know that you love THE FLORIDA KEYS but don't forget your original favorite home down in the GULF...THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE...BMT/PT. ARTHUR/ORANGE down in SE TX...
The Man Still Has Beautiful Hair 🧑🦳😊
He's blessed.
Jerry Jones are you watching this !!!!!
I liked Tom Landry, but I Absolutley love Jimmy Johnson! I completely agree with him about being anxious about being on time, I have dealt with it my whole life. My poor son 😋
I'm my opinion Jerry and Jimmy are to credit for the dynasty. Jerry as the general Manger and Jimmy as the coach. They both should be in the ring of honor. I know alot of people don't like Jerry Jones but he done alot for football. I believe Jerry will put Jimmy in the ring of honor but I also believe that Jerry should be in it aswell even though he owns the team
Jimmie was the very best at finding talent! I sure miss him! Discipline!
19:12,🤣😂Put him on the ring of honor Jerry. He deserves it. And I am a Bills fan saying this🤣💯
JJ is the most beautiful person in the NFL industry
Mr. Johnson,
Just wondering if that dude from The Asmtha field came back>
Jimmy @ 16:46..... "I felt like I was a big part of putting that team together" That's because you did.
Only if Jerry would have left him alone how many championships would my Cowboys have
Jerry Jones and AL Davis have to be related in some way... I looked at his eyes at the end and that just reminded me why I haven't spent one penny in cowboys gear the last 4 years.. this coming from a long time die heard cowboys fan since 1982..I was 10 years old til this day..
i haven't spent a dime on cowboys anything since 1994 when jerry the football idiot jones ran Jimmy Johnson out of the team Jimmy built!
Die heard?
Tell Jimmy Johnson there ain’t no East Carolina‘s in this league…Buddy Ryan has his #
Jerry Jones is STILL what's wrong with the Cowboys
Johnson was a great coach, and for his part, Jones was probably a great businessman, but Jones should have also had the humility to stay in his lane and not interfere with Johnson, who always stayed in his lane as a coach.
Jones is a guy who has always seemed like he is "high on his own supply", to the point where he might as well just name himself president, general manager, head coach, and starting quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys.
You would never see Mark Cuban interfere with his Dallas Mavericks' GM or head coach in the way Jones has historically involved himself with the Cowboys.
Jerry Jones' ego is so big that during the NFL Draft he'd want to be on camera pretending to be talking on the phone to make it look like he's relevant by making some deal.
I wanted to see fish and boats lol.
😊
As mad as I was when Tom Landry got fired, I thought Jimmy was a great coach. If that idiot Jerry Jones would of just let Jimmy coach the team and stay out of his way he could of been there as long as Tom Landry. The Cowboys would have won 4 in a row. I will make this statement: The Cowboys will never make it back to the super bowl as long as Jerry Jones own the football team.
