Jimmy Johnson

James William Johnson, born July 16, 1943, is an American former football coach and sports analyst. He served as a head football coach at the college level for 10 seasons and in the National Football League for nine seasons. Johnson is the first head football coach to win both a college football national championship and a Super Bowl, taking the former with the Miami Hurricanes and the latter with the Dallas Cowboys.

Johnson held his first head coaching position at Oklahoma State from 1979 to 1983. He became Miami's head coach in 1984 and guided the team to victory in the 1988 Orange Bowl. Following the college championship, he succeeded original Cowboys head coach Tom Landry in 1989 and helped rebuild the team back to winning form. His tenure from 1989 to 1993 culminated with the Cowboys winning consecutive Super Bowl titles in Super Bowl XXVII and Super Bowl XXVIII. Johnson left Dallas after the second championship amid conflict with owner Jerry Jones.

After two years away from football, Johnson returned in 1996 to become head coach of the Miami Dolphins, where he served until retiring after the 1999 season.
