Never understood how Jimmy Johnson got in the hall of fame. He had 2 great years back to back, the rest were very pedestrian.


The Dallas Cowboys were the worst franchise in the NFL when he took over in 1989. He rebuilt them into the power of the 1990s:

1989: 1-15
1990: 7-9
1991: 11-5
1992: 13-3
1993: 12-4
1994: 12-4

And then they went 12-4 and won the Super Bowl in 1995 under Barry Switzer with the team he had assembled. He also took the Miami Dolphins to three straight playoff appearances before hanging up his spurs.

This is why you don’t want people to think you’re an a-hole.

Exactly. He'll get in the next vote.

I am in favor of taking it out of sportswriters hands. They are some sensitive divas.

Is he being penalized due to banging a 23 year old. Or is it because of his failure of a tenure at UNC.
Or both?

This is interesting. Wonder how much more we’ll hear about this process

Regardless of what anyone thinks of their cheating, this does not help either.

Cheating catches up to ya in strange ways; just like PEDs in MLB

Sources close to Bill described him as deflated.

I don’t buy that excuse. By that logic they won’t put Brady in first ballot. But there’s zero chance he won’t be first ballot

They just don’t like Bill right now and this is their way of getting back at him. And it’s not like they would come out and say “we don’t like the guy”. So this is the excuse they probably intentionally leaked

I agree that it’s more than just the cheating scandals, the girlfriend etc. But they can’t say that because it’s ridiculous so they come up with something they thought people would buy

I disagree with the voters here.

However, maybe if Bill wasn’t such an incredible dickhead to the voters his entire career, maybe he’d have gotten in on his first try.

Can’t be that much of an a-hole throughout your career and not expect someone to hold a grudge.
