Jimmy Johnson is a psychological genius

[@AshedOut]

“Treat a person as he is and he will remain as he is. Treat him as he could be and he will become who he should be or could be.” 😮

[@antonioestark7033]

I never get tired of listening to Jimmy he’s the greatest coach of all time

[@jackdull5699]

Damn, Jimmie Johnson knew to how get the most out of every player to levels even they thought they could never do.

[@impactvoice12]

Jerry Jones allow His ego to get in the way when Jimmy Johnson had the cowboys in the right direction could have had more then three Superbowl championships.

[@JR-pp3ed]

They should've gotten at least 5 rings And at the very least 7 appearances from 89 till 2000 imagine if Jimmy stayed

[@bullionsean456]

Honestly, I think those Cowboys teams from the 90s could stomp out the current KC Chiefs with ease. They might be the best, most balanced NFL team of all time. If the 2007 Patriots won the SB I would say they are the best, but those Cowboys teams were incredible. This is coming from a Giants fan btw.

[@highplainsdrifter9631]

@@bullionsean456 '92 Cowboys vs '07 Patriots would make for an epic Super Bowl. I'm a Cowboys fan so I'm biased towards them winning, but it would have everything. The edge goes to Dallas for having Emmitt Smith and The Great Wall of Dallas. The Cowboys should have at least 8 Lombardi trophies. Jerry Jones could have had everything he wanted if he would have kept Jimmy Johnson. Johnson was the exact right coach at the right time. As a Cowboys fan, I can only imagine where Dallas would be today if that had happened. Honestly they'd probably have 10 or 11 Super Bowl victories. And had Tom Landry and his squads had not suffered some bad luck(Jackie Smith dropped pass vs Steelers), there's two more Super Bowl victories.

[@bullionsean456]

@@highplainsdrifter9631 Yeah, Jerry fucked up. It's like just winning isn't good enough for him or something. It's almost like he'd rather lose than someone else get the credit for the Cowboys winning. I really don't care though...Giants fan through and through.

[@timhowell6929]

Yea Jimmy is a motivator, communicator and model for positive thinking, but he was was also an innovator. I have never seen the likes of the offensive line the cowboys had from 1990-1995. Eric Williams, Mark Tuinei, Nate Newton, John Geisek, Kevin Gogan, Mark Stepnowski, and probably the greatest of the, all, Larry Allen (apologies for any name misspellings, and hope I didn’t leave anyone out). At that time, the best defensive lineman in the NFL was Reggie White. The battles he and Eric Williams fought with one another are just legendary. That Dallas O line was mean, nasty and hard as rocks. I like the triplets and playmakers, but I LOVE that O line.

@@maxlewis2011 I became a Cowboys fan because of Jimmy Johnson. I'm more of a college football fan than i am of the pro game. When Jimmy went to Dallas, well, I've not stopped watching the Cowboys since that time. And since about 1984 when I watched football as a 12 year old - I have yet to see a better football coach than Jimmy Johnson

[@johndoe-bw8wx]

This coming from a die hard cowboy fan...Nowadays Jerry Jones is happy to win a game..Jimmy Johnson wasn't happy unless he won it all!

[@Guerilla30892001]

I agree. Jerry Jones reminds me of Donald Trump. Unable to admit his weaknesses.

[@LinkRocks]

I remember Jimmy being livid after a sloppy win because his team was too relaxed for making so many mistakes.

[@TexasNewsOwL]

He was happy to win a game when he coached the dolphins. He didnt have Jerrys open checkbook to play with and he didnt have to deal with a salary cap in dallas.

[@johndoe-bw8wx]

[@supervilla06]

Damn I really miss these days.😔

[@LinkRocks]

Coaches like Jimmy, Parcells, Belichick, Lombardi, and Levy treated their players like men. That's why players respected them so much.

[@turnupthesun81]

You know there’s a lot of truth to that. Johnson was a master at handling chaos too, both at Miami and with Dallas.

[@fan0000]

Jimmy was definitely a psychological genius it comes as no surprise that he majored in psychology in college I think it really gave him a coaching edge#cowboysnation

[@drh2098]

What a good coach. I see how Jimmy coaches and then look at someone like Bobby Knight, and it puts things in perspective. Basketball is a very different game from football, but I’d rather play under Jimmy Johnson than Knight. I think Johnson would build me up more instead of break me down. Coaches like Knight are great for when you are very young, and need to be inducted in a harsh manner to the world of competition. I had many coaches that were tough and used the power of negative thinking that made me headstrong and tough in my later years. No men after them could intimidate me quite the way they could. Sure, if you point a gun at me i’ll give you my wallet...but i aint gonna run suicides till I puke for you. But as a grown man...you shouldn’t have to be taught the way Knight teaches. Knight would have been a phenomenal HS basketball coach. The way Jimmy coaches is the way you coach men.

[@TL2354]

Yawn

[@LinkRocks]

Knight was an ass. Great coach, but an ass. He went over the line too many times for my liking.

[@redmustangredmustang]

That's what made Jimmy great is that he knew what buttons to push to get the best out of players. He knew when to get on a player who messed up and knew who to cut when they were slacking off. That's why he was great at Miami and great with the Cowboys. You don't get into the college and pro football hall of fames if you are a terrible coach.

[@Guerilla30892001]

I've read a book on Bobby Knight. I think his unceasing efforts to control his image were a complete waste of time. Instead of the rest of focusing on his incredible basketball "mind" We were constantly distracted by him and his "head" games with his players. A mistake he will always blame on the press.

[@redmustangredmustang]

@@Guerilla30892001 Jimmy made sure not to fall in the pitfalls of success even after winning the Super Bowl. Yes Jimmy did some TV commercials, but the very next year he made sure the team was focused and made sure not to get lax after winning a Super Bowl. That's what made coaches like Bill Walsh, Joe Gibbs, Bill Bellichick, etc great is that they didn't get caught up in the limelight.

1:21 heard this years ago and i awear that is soooooooooooo true the greatest quote of all time

[@redmustangredmustang]

The best part about Jimmy was he knew what buttons to push to get the best out of his players. He knew which players to cut to get the team to wake up like he did with Curvin Richards when he fumbled twice or when John Roper snoozed during a film session. He made losing miserable, but also knew when to hold back and cheer up a player after making a mistake like Leon Lett did. Instead of cutting Leon, he told him that everyone made a mistake in that Miami game and as long as he was coach, he would be on the team. Leon would make strip fumble on Thurman Thomas in the Super Bowl that led to 6 point run back by James Washington. Jimmy had the players believing in him.

[@jackrabbitmr]

The Cowboys 92 and 93 teams beat the hell out of any salary cap team. Depth in all positions, but what really would show would be the power running game. All they had to do was hand the ball off, they did not have to throw every down and they were the best team I ever saw at getting touchdowns instead of field goals inside the twenty yard line.
