Jimmy Johnson is officially hanging it up—this time, for real. The legendary coach-turned-TV-icon pulled up on The Herd with Colin Cowherd and announced he’s retiring from Fox Sports’ NFL coverage. He said, “Thinking about it for five years.” Johnson was part of the OG Fox NFL Sunday crew back in ‘94, dipped for a bit, then made a comeback in 2002. Fans had a feeling this was coming, especially after Fox hit him with that AI-generated tribute before Super Bowl LIX. And yeah, the rumors were spot on. Even after Fox offered him a chill, part-time gig, Johnson said nah—he’s “100 percent retired.”
From coaching to commentating, Jimmy Johnson’s impact on football is straight-up legendary. He started coaching in ‘65, won a natty with Miami in ‘89, and snagged two Super Bowls with the Cowboys in the ‘90s. But the plot twist—his favorite era? The TV grind. “Probably the most fun I’ve had in my career, and that’s counting Super Bowls and national championships, was at Fox Sports,” he admitted. Now that he’s out, Fox NFL Sunday will keep it rolling with Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long, Curt Menefee, Rob Gronkowski, and Michael Strahan running the show.
