Jimmy Johnson, the celebrated Dallas Cowboys legend, has recently been in the news for his renewed involvement with the team, described as 'Back in the Fold!' by reports. Johnson has been 'hired' to the Cowboys' 'Advisory Board' by team owner Jerry Jones, signaling a significant reconciliation between the two figures who have had a historically strained relationship since The Split. This development comes after Johnson's induction into the Ring of Honor (ROH), which appears to have been a catalyst for their improved relations. Despite the buzz around Johnson's official role, it has been clarified that the Cowboys do not have a formal 'advisory board.' However, Johnson's increased communication with Jones in recent months indicates a stronger relationship and a shared commitment to ending the team's championship drought, which has mostly existed since The Split. The situation has been described as 'hunky-dory' by those close to the matter.
