Jimmy Johnson Inducted into Cowboys' Ring of Honor
Former Coach Joins Tom Landry in Exclusive Group, Marking Closure to Long-Standing Feud with Owner Jerry Jones
- Jimmy Johnson, the former coach of the Dallas Cowboys, has been inducted into the team's ring of honor, joining Tom Landry as the only coaches in the exclusive group.
- The induction comes nearly 30 years after Johnson's acrimonious split with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, following their team-up to win consecutive Super Bowls.
- Johnson was greeted by the Hall of Fame 'Triplets' - quarterback Troy Aikman, running back Emmitt Smith, and receiver Michael Irvin - for the halftime ceremony during the regular-season home finale against the Detroit Lions.
- Johnson's induction into the ring of honor is seen as a closure to the long-standing feud between him and Jones over who should get credit for the team's dramatic turnaround in the early 90s.
- Despite the past disagreements, both Johnson and Jones have expressed that they are past the question of credit, emphasizing their joint effort in making history with the Cowboys.
