BREAKING: Legendary Coach Jimmy Johnson Retires After 17 Seasons with FOX – Heartfelt Tribute from Colleagues

After 17 seasons as a beloved analyst on FOX NFL Sunday, legendary coach Jimmy Johnson has officially announced his retirement from broadcasting. The two-time Super Bowl-winning coach, who became a fan favorite for his insights, humor, and unmistakable personality, received an outpouring of love and appreciation from colleagues and fans alike.

Johnson, 80, first joined FOX in 2002 and became a staple of the network’s NFL coverage. His deep understanding of the game, combined with his charismatic presence, made him one of the most respected voices in football media. Before his television career, he achieved greatness as the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, leading the team to back-to-back Super Bowl victories in 1992 and 1993. He also coached the Miami Dolphins and had a successful collegiate coaching career, most notably at the University of Miami.

Johnson’s retirement was met with an emotional response from his longtime colleagues, including Terry Bradshaw, Michael Strahan, Curt Menefee, and Howie Long. One particularly heartfelt tribute came from his close friend and co-host, who shared on social media:

“Congratulations on your retirement, @JimmyJohnson! It has been 17 seasons of fun and laughs sitting next to you. You’re truly one of a kind, and thanks for being you and gifting me with one of the best friendships anyone could ever ask for. Hope you enjoy fishing and drinking beers on the boat. You deserve it! Love you, Coach!”

Known for his famous catchphrase, “How ’bout them Cowboys?”, Johnson leaves behind an incredible legacy both on and off the field. While he may be stepping away from the FOX studio, he has made it clear that he plans to enjoy his retirement to the fullest—spending more time fishing and relaxing on his boat in the Florida Keys.

As the NFL world says goodbye to one of its most iconic analysts, fans will surely miss his expertise and infectious energy. But one thing is certain—Jimmy Johnson’s impact on the game of football will never be forgotten.
