Jerry Jones showed a highly emotional side on Wednesday when meeting the media.

The Dallas Cowboys owner was discussing Jimmy Johnson leaving his role as coach years ago and how the owner feels he “bleeped” up the situation up. Jones recalled telling Barry Switzer how Johnson was gone and they were about to talk about the college football legend at Oklahoma becoming head coach of America’s team.

Switzer, as Jones tells the story, wanted nothing but to put the owner and his coach on the couch to figure things out.

Johnson was head coach of the Cowboys from 1989-93, winning Super Bowl XXVII in 1992 and Super Bowl XXVIII in 1993. Jones would hire Switzer and the franchise won Super Bowl XXX two seasons after Johnson’s departure.

Jerry Jones said when Barry Switzer came to meet about the HC job, he wanted to get Jerry and Jimmy Johnson in same room, explaining. “I wanted to get both you a——- on a couch and ask how you could f*ck this up.”

Jerry: “I’ve never been able to know why I f*cked it up.”

While Jerry Jones made it seem inducting Jimmy Johnson into the #Cowboys Ring of Honor is inevitable, it takes agreement from both of them, and I found it interesting when I followed up by asking Jones if he believes it will soon happen, he declined to answer.
