Kinda surprised Jimmy made it in while he and Jerry are still alive, though obviously it should have been done long ago. This was almost like the Vince McMahon/Randy Savage eternal grudge, did Jimmy nail one of Jerry's daughters/wife or something we never heard about.

Jerry is all about Jerry. He was irked Jimmy got the credit for taking over a 3-13 team and winning back-to-back Super Bowls four seasons later.

Worst professional team ownership decision of all-time was Jones firing Johnson after back-to-back titles. Only to hire Barry Switzer. Despite Switizer’s SB win (with mostly JJ‘s team) Cowboys have been in purgatory since. Jones got what he deserved. He should just signed the checks, let Jimmy cook, and another 2-3 championships.

And imagine what Jimmy could have accomplished had he stayed at Miami for another five-six-or more seasons.

Was the first coach to win a NC and a SB. Barry Switzer became the 2nd with Jimmy’s cowboy teams, and then Pete Carrol. The only 3 to do it. Jimmy is my guy.

The Big Chill has a HELLUVA seafood pizza I must add. Not a combination I would’ve ever considered shooting down my gullet but it is good.

To be honest....2000, 2001, 02, & 03 were all from Butch's doings...from player evaluation, to Development. 25 -1st rounders in 6yrs, including 4 HOFers/soon to be HOFers. If you want to get Nit-picky....look at Santana's NFL Stats and they match up favorably to enshrined NFL HOF WRs. And if you want to get even more Nit-Picky.....Butch/Pagano offered Hester a full schollie in 1999 (Hesters HS Frosh yr)...can't really give Butch full credit for Hester....But, Devin told me on more than one occasion that he never forgot Pagano/Butch's early offer.

When Jimmy's mother died, Jerry paid for the funeral service and the reception afterwards. Their split was horrible at the time, but like every other sensible human that didn't try to bang their 12 year old daughter (i.e., Macho and Vince), they respected each other and put their disagreements behind them.

Thanks, good to know.
 
The Minnesota Vikings should get a special thank you in his acceptance speech. They gave him a bonanza for Herschel Walker that built his roster.

Paul Brown won a NC and an NFL championship. Pre-Super Bowl naming era.

But yes, Jimmy has few equals, and I will not count Barry Switzer as one of them.

Just now getting in their ring of honor? Did he and Jones have some beef? I seem to remember some bad blood.
