Former Dallas Cowboys head coach Jimmy Johnson ed Tom Landry as the only coaches alongside 19 players and two executives in the NFL franchise's ring of honor after a 30-year feud with owner Jerry Jones kept him out of the exclusive group.
The ceremony took place during halftime of Dallas' game against the Detroit Lions on Saturday night at AT&T Stadium and Jones expressed his iration for Johnson, with whom he won multiple Super Bowls in the early '90s.
"Not only did you inspire your players, and certainly you inspired our fans, but you need to hear how much you personally inspired me," Jones said.
Legendary Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman, running back Emmitt Smith and wide receiver Michael Irvin, among other Hall of Famers, were in attendance on Saturday to welcome their former coach into the ring of honor.
Johnson, 80, has been a Fox studio analyst for the past 20 years and entered the Hall of Fame in 2020. He had nothing but good things to say during his ring of honor speech.
Jimmy Johnson's Cowboys' ring of honor speech
Johnson's name is now literally etched inside AT&T Stadium for his role in leading the Cowboys to the franchise's first ever back-to-back Super Bowl victories.
"People have asked what this means to me. I'm so very, very proud of what we accomplished," Johnson said during his speech on the field. "When I say we, it's a lot of people. But more than anybody else, thank you Jerry Jones for bringing me to the Dallas Cowboys."
The feud between Jones and Johnson is thought to have started over their disagreement on who deserved more credit for turning the Cowboys around.
After the ceremony, which ended with Johnson shouting his iconic "How about them Cowboys?" catchphrase, there seems to be an air of closure between all parties involved.
