Jimmy Johnson to be Inducted into Cowboys' Ring of Honor
The announcement comes 30 years after Johnson led the team to back-to-back Super Bowl victories.
- Jimmy Johnson, who led the Dallas Cowboys to back-to-back Super Bowl championships, will be inducted into the team's Ring of Honor on December 30, 2023.
- Johnson's induction was announced by Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones prior to a game against the Carolina Panthers.
- Johnson was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2020, but his exclusion from the Cowboys' Ring of Honor had become a significant story.
- Johnson and Jones, who were college teammates at Arkansas, had a close working relationship during their time with the Cowboys, despite a public breakup following the team's second Super Bowl win.
- Johnson later coached the Miami Dolphins from 1996 to 1999, but never returned to the Super Bowl.
