Cowboys owner Jerry Jones blasts “sniveling” Jimmy Johnson!

It hasn't exactly been the smoothest of sailing when we're discussing the relationship between Dallas Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones and former Super Bowl-winning head coach Jimmy Johnson. 

Johnson, who led the Cowboys to back to back Super Bowl wins in 1992 and 1993, departed Dallas after it was reported that he wanted more control over personnel decisions - something that Jones wasn't willing to relinquish. Johnson was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2020; however, he's yet to be inducted into the Cowboys Ring of Honor. 

And according to recent comments from Jones, it doesn't sound like it's any closer to happening. 

“It’s BS for anybody to be making anything [of Johnson’s not being in the ring],” Jones said. “I’ve said I’m gonna put him in. Now when I put him in and the circumstances and what I do with that — there’s a lot more than Jimmy to think about here. And I’ve got a lot of other lives out here that have laid a lot on the line on the field that need to be in that Ring of Honor as well.”

“And so how I do that, what I do it with, I get to make that decision,” Jones said. “And it isn’t at the end of the day all tailored around whether Jimmy is sniveling or not.”
