Jimmy Johnson to enter Hall of Fame, but not in Dallas Cowboys Ring of Honor

Tom Landry was the Dallas Cowboys head coach for this beloved franchise’s first 29 years. When Jerry Jones became the new owner of the Cowboys in February of 1989, he quickly replaced the legendary Landry with Jimmy Johnson. Little did anyone know at the time that Jones would be replacing one Hall of Fame coach for another.

Johnson would go on to helm the Cowboys from 1989 until 1993, winning two Super Bowls and setting the team up to win a third championship title in 1995 without him behind the Hall of Fame play of the legendary Triplets, quarterback Troy Aikman, running back Emmitt Smith, and wide receiver Michael Irvin.
