Okay, so, I’ve been digging into this guy, Jimmy Johnson, and his coaching career. It’s pretty interesting stuff. I started by just typing his name and “coaching career” into the search engine. Found a bunch of articles and stats pages.
First thing I did was check out his overall record. Turns out, the guy coached for ten years, and his teams won way more than they lost. We’re talking 81 wins, 34 losses, and 3 ties. That’s like, winning almost 70% of the time. Not too shabby, right?
Then I looked into his time with the Dallas Cowboys and the Miami Dolphins. Apparently, he started coaching in the NFL back in 1989 and wrapped things up in 1999. Nine seasons in total. He was with the Cowboys first, then moved over to the Dolphins.
I learned that he had a good run in college football before he hit the NFL. This got me curious, so I did a bit more searching about that. Found out he was a pretty big deal in college, which probably explains why the Cowboys wanted him.
One thing that kept popping up was how he won two Super Bowls with the Cowboys. That’s a huge deal. So I spent some time reading about those Super Bowl years. It was a bit tough to find the exact details, but I managed to piece together that those were some pretty exciting times for Cowboys fans.
Here’s what I put together in my notes:
- Total Years Coaching: 10
- Overall Record: 81-34-3 (69.9% win rate)
- NFL Teams: Dallas Cowboys, Miami Dolphins
- NFL Coaching Years: 1989-1999 (9 seasons)
- Super Bowl Wins: 2 (with the Dallas Cowboys)
Wrapping Up
So, yeah, that’s basically what I found out about Jimmy Johnson’s coaching career. I went down a few rabbit holes along the way, but it was all worth it. This guy was a serious winner, and it was cool learning about how he did it.
