He’s referring to Jones sticking with current head coach Mike McCarthy and trying to make it work:
Johnson, also, mentioned the one time Jones came to practice in his five years as head coach:
In McCarthy’s second season, Dallas went 12-5 in the regular season, winning the NFC East. However, the team fell short in the playoffs as they lost to the San Francisco 49ers in the Wild Card round. That being said, all signs point to McCarthy returning for the 2022 season.
Jimmy Johnson and his stint with the Cowboys
Johnson coached the Cowboys from 1989 to 1993, having a 44 – 36 record in the regular season. Under the 78-year-old coach, Dallas made the playoffs three times, including winning the Super Bowl in back-to-back seasons (1992 & 1993 seasons).
His seven playoff wins are the second-most to legendary Hall of Fame coach Tom Landry in franchise history. Landry won 20 playoffs, and both he and Johnson won two Lombardi trophies for Dallas.
Johnson ended his NFL coaching career with the Miami Dolphins, coaching them from 1996 to 1999. He led Miami to a 36 - 28 record, making the playoffs in three of his four seasons there. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in the class of 2020.
