Former Cowboys Coach Jimmy Johnson Says Dallas On The Verge Of Greatness
Nearly 16 years have passed since Jimmy Johnson coached the Cowboys. His word was law when it came to the team in those days.
It still resonates.
Johnson returned to Valley Ranch on Tuesday. He stood a few yards from the practice fields he once ruled, yucking it up with owner Jerry Jones and working the crowd as the team prepared for its Thanksgiving Day game with Oakland.
Before Johnson left, he shared his thoughts on the Cowboys’ place in the NFC, offered an idea on how to get Roy Williams untracked, praised quarterback Tony Romo and tackled the question of whether the top players on this roster are good or great.
Let’s start with how the Cowboys stack up with undefeated New Orleans and Minnesota.
“Well, I think they’re right there, on the verge,” Johnson said. “You can’t overlook Oakland here Thursday, especially with the change at quarterback.
“If they can get by Oakland, which they should, then I think the game up in New York will be the one that decides who will take control of the NFC East, and I think who wins is going to be the favorite after that ballgame.”
Johnson called the loss to Green Bay a stinker, but wasn’t bothered by the close win over Washington given the history between the teams and the Redskins’ strong secondary.
