Jimmy Johnson is calling it a career in broadcasting.
The former football coach and analyst officially announced on Monday that he would be retiring from Fox. Johnson was known for his successful career as a head coach of the University of Miami and the Dallas Cowboys.
The Cowboys reacted to the news on their X page by sharing a heartfelt message.
The team tweeted, “Congrats on a legendary career, Coach!”
The tweet included a brief highlight reel of Johnson’s time with the team.
Johnson joined the Cowboys in 1989. He worked as the general manager and head coach of the team. During the five years he spent with the organization, Johnson coached the team to two Super Bowl titles.
He left the team after the 1993 season and started working for Fox for their pregame show. He would go on to retire from coaching after the 1999 season and continue working as an analyst.
Johnson was officially inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2020, where he would go in with a few accomplishments such as earning the AP Football Head Coach of the Year Award in 1990, Walter Camp Coach of the Year Award in 1986 and Big Eight Coach of the Year Award in 1979.
He would later be inducted into the Dallas Cowboys Ring of Honor in 2023. Johnson has accomplished a lot in his long career, however, his time in Dallas sticks out as the place where his career success defined his legacy.
