Jimmy Johnson, the renowned former coach of the Dallas Cowboys, has been officially inducted into the team's Ring of Honor. The induction ceremony took place at halftime during a game at AT&T Stadium, where Johnson received a loud ovation from the crowd. This honor comes three years after Johnson's election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who serves as the sole selector for the Ring of Honor, described the induction as Johnson's 'rightful place' and emphasized that both he and Johnson made history together, including leading the team to two Super Bowl victories. Johnson expressed immense pride in the Cowboys' success during the 1990s, the program that was built, and his name being enshrined in the stadium. He concluded his speech with his famous phrase, 'How 'bout them Cowboys?' which resonated with both fans and critics alike. The induction was seen by many as long overdue, given Johnson's significant contributions to the franchise.
