I find that the complete opposite and that CBS is boring af and they’re all about “professionalism.”
People hate on Terry for whatever reason but Howie Long and Strahan are legit. Maybe because I grew up watching NFC football.
CBS has a much better broadcast of the game itself. Fox has, or had after Jimmy, TB, and Howie are gone, a much better studio show. Stuffy is a good way to describe the CBS studio crew. The Fox network has never taken themselves seriously ever since their inception and it comes out as a fun studio show.
Also NFC football is simply better. And it's also the old NFL legacy so it's already better.

Heard his interview earlier today on my truck radio while heading to Lowes. Something like 31 years he put in.
Time to enjoy life.
He did touch on how owners and coaches are not getting along on many teams with owner's thinking they should be running the show instead of letting the head coach and his staff run things.
He specifically mentioned him and Jerry Jones and Bill B. and Craft in New England.

Whats ironic, is that was his last time on air , in the same stadium he coached his first NFL game.

I don't think I've ever heard Strahan say anything I found particularly insightful.

You would turn it over to CBS and you’d have Bill Cowher, Boomer Esiason, & Phil Simms just completely bore you to sleep.

Pre game shows in general are going the way of the dinosaur, too many sources of news and information out there during the week to get much of anything out of these now bloated 2-3 hour shows…but when I watched them the Fox crew was my favorite

He could have easily coached in either college or NFL for another 10 or 15 seasons. frick Jerry jones.

Was a big part of my childhood watching Fox NFL Sunday with him, Howie, Terry and James Brown.
They’re the Inside the NBA of then NFL in the aspect of they’ve been together for decades and have so much chemistry. Of course JB went to CBS and Curt Menefee took his place but for the most part they’ve been the same crew for a while. Congrats to Jimmy

He did coach after the Cowboys. He had complete control of the Miami Dolphins from ‘96-‘99 and delivered four very pedestrian teams.

Scary to realize all three are near the same age group as Madden and Summerall were at when they called it quits as a duo in 2002. Time is fleeting.

By 1994, with all of his professional goals accomplished, I don’t think Johnson was going to stay anywhere long. I don’t think he was really wired that way.
Unlike most successful coaches, Johnson has hobbies outside of football. He loves tropical weather, boats, snorkeling, fishing in the Keys, and playing blackjack.
Even if Jimmy and Jerry had patched things up after the “500 coaches” thing in Orlando, I think Johnson would have left once the Super Bowl adrenaline wore off when someone knocked Dallas off the mountain and the Boys showed signs of regression. 2-3 more years max. And if he had exhausted that run, I don’t think he would have taken the Dolphins job that was Super Bowl or bust with Marino over a 3-4 year tenure.
I’m going to say (by 1994) Johnson had five more years coaching (maximum) under any realistic scenario.

Bradshaw also does the mid-week speaking circuit and makes an absolute killing. Probably close to $100K per gig.
I read an article about Jimmy Johnson over 20 years ago that said his agent took calls daily from groups trying to hire him for speaking engagements at $100K a pop, and he turned down almost every one.
It also said he went fishing almost every day, and he never changed the oil in his boat. When it was time for service, he just traded it in on a new one.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Terry doesn’t follow this off season also. His health isn’t the best and he has missed some shows because of it.
