Now the Cowboys must transition into offseason mode and try to fix what went wrong a season ago.<\/p>\n<p>One former Cowboys legend is making a career transition of his own. Cowboys owner\u00a0Jerry Jones\u00a0finally shared his thoughts on Tuesday morning about Jimmy Johnson&#8217;s retirement.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson is one of the most successful coaches in Cowboys history. He followed that up with a hugely successful career as a broadcaster with Fox Sports. Sometimes he\u00a0even tried to coach the team from afar\u00a0from the Fox Sports set.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cAs one of the most gifted people I&#8217;ve ever been around, Jimmy has blazed a remarkable, unique trail that is now deeply embedded into football and broadcasting history,\u201d Jones added.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It is clear that Johnson and Jones have a very close relationship.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cCongratulations on your incredible career Jimmy, and I wish you well in your fourth quarter my friend,\u201d Jones concluded. \u201cYou will always be a winner!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Former Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson looks back on NFL broadcasting career<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3276919\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3276919\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3276919\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Former-Dallas-Cowboys-coach-Jimmy-Johnson.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Former-Dallas-Cowboys-coach-Jimmy-Johnson.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Former-Dallas-Cowboys-coach-Jimmy-Johnson.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Former-Dallas-Cowboys-coach-Jimmy-Johnson.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Former-Dallas-Cowboys-coach-Jimmy-Johnson.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Former-Dallas-Cowboys-coach-Jimmy-Johnson.jpg?resize=150,100 150w\" alt=\"(L to R) Former Dallas Cowboys Michael Irvin, Jimmy Johnson and Emmitt Smith react during the Ring of Honor ceremony at the half time of the game against the Detroit Lions at AT&amp;T Stadium.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3276919\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tim Heitman-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>He made it clear during his retirement announcement on Monday.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI\u2019ve made an extremely difficult decision,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cI\u2019ve been thinking about it for the last four or five years, but I\u2019ve decided to retire from Fox.
