Jimmy Johnson Offers Two-Word Winning Formula for Brian Schottenheimer's Dallas Cowboys Tenure
Jimmy Johnson Offers Two-Word Winning Formula for Brian Schottenheimer's Dallas Cowboys Tenure originally appeared on Athlon Sports. To lead an NFL franchise is no easy task, and to lead one as iconic as the Dallas Cowboys comes with even higher expectations from both the front office and fans. The Cowboys have delivered five Super Bowl titles to Dallas under legendary coaches like Tom Landry, Jimmy Johnson, and Barry Switzer. But after a 29-year championship drought, the team is turning to new head coach Brian Schottenheimer to change the culture and restore the glory of America's Team. Advertisement Two-time Super Bowl–winning coach Jimmy Johnson, in an interview published by the Dallas Cowboys, offered one clear piece of advice: Stay. Healthy. On the surface, it might sound like a cliché. But Johnson's message cuts to the heart of what's held the Cowboys back in recent years. Injuries to key players, especially quarterback Dak Prescott, have repeatedly derailed promising seasons. Prescott, the face of the franchise, has suffered two season-ending injuries, in 2020 and again last season. Both times, the Cowboys stumbled without their leader under center. When healthy, however, Prescott has guided Dallas to the playoffs in five of his seven seasons. His presence and consistency remain the biggest X-factor in any championship aspirations. Advertisement Beyond Prescott, the Cowboys' entire roster has little margin for error. Coach Johnson pointed out that the team's strategy of investing heavily in star players leaves them vulnerable when injuries strike. With so much of the salary cap tied up in marquee names, the depth chart behind them is thin. In a long, grueling NFL season, role players often make the difference between advancing deep into January or packing up early. And this season, the schedule won't do them any favors. The Cowboys face a daunting second-half slate, which includes both of last year's Super Bowl teams — the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles and the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs — as well as rising contenders like the Washington Commanders and Detroit Lions. Staying healthy won't just help them survive that stretch; it might be the only way they can compete at a high level against some of the league's toughest opponents. 'If they're not at full strength when they face those top teams late, it's going to be a problem,' he noted. Advertisement Fortunately for Dallas, reinforcements are on the way. Star cornerback Trevon Diggs and promising linebacker DeMarvion Overshown are both expected to return from injury midseason, potentially bolstering the defense right when the Cowboys need it most. Beyond the X's and O's, Johnson's advice also speaks to a bigger idea: building resilience. Injuries happen in football, but minimizing them, managing them wisely, and keeping the team physically and mentally prepared is part of creating a winning culture. Schottenheimer inherits not only a roster but also the weight of history, and the passion of a fan base desperate to celebrate another championship. To compete in a stacked NFC East and make a serious playoff run, Schottenheimer would do well to heed Johnson's advice. For the Cowboys, staying healthy isn't just a key to success, it's the foundation of any path back to the top.

Michael Irvin drops bombshell on Jimmy Johnson's real personality in new Cowboys Netflix series
Jimmy Johnson's true colors revealed by Michael Irvin in Cowboys Netflix teaser (Credit: YouTube/Netflix) The Dallas Cowboys are stepping into the streaming spotlight with a gripping new Netflix docuseries that dives deep into one of the NFL's most chaotic and legendary eras. Titled America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys, this eight-episode series is set to premiere on August 19, bringing to life the raw, intense, and often controversial journey of Jerry Jones and his creation of a football dynasty in the 1990s. America's Team or Jerry's Gamble? Netflix unpacks Cowboys' glory and chaos of the 90s dynasty Directed by the Emmy-winning duo Maclain and Chapman Way—known for their work on Untold and Wild Wild Country—the series promises far more than just game highlights. Produced by Skydance Sports in collaboration with NFL Films and Stardust Frames Productions, it peels back the curtain on what transformed the Cowboys from a struggling franchise to the most valuable sports team on the planet. Netflix's official synopsis sets the tone perfectly: 'A man who bet it all. A series of calculated risks. A team meticulously designed for greatness.' And that man, of course, is Jerry Jones. After buying the Cowboys in 1989, Jones, alongside head coach Jimmy Johnson, took the team from a dismal 1-15 start to back-to-back Super Bowl titles within five years. It was a transformation fueled by bold business decisions, fearless leadership, and a relentless pursuit of greatness. The series stands apart thanks to its powerful storytelling and the A-list lineup of interviews. Among those sharing their experiences are Jones himself, Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, Deion Sanders, Barry Switzer, Jimmy Johnson, and Michael Irvin . Even high-profile personalities like George W. Bush, Phil Knight, and Rupert Murdoch contribute to the narrative, highlighting how the Cowboys' rise intersected with American culture, media, and business. Michael Irvin doesn't hold back in the trailer, offering a chilling truth about life under Johnson's rule: 'The road to a championship is never paved smoothly. It's always paved with peaks and valleys… He made practice hell. So the game is heaven.' It's more than a soundbite—it's a window into the grueling process that forged champions out of chaos. One of the trailer's most unforgettable moments features Johnson barking at a player: 'Asthma my a–. Get over there on that other field and have asthma.' These aren't dramatizations—they're real, raw flashbacks to a time when the Cowboys weren't just a football team, but a phenomenon. Johnson's approach, as brutal as it was, built more than athletes. As Irvin emotionally shared in a previous podcast, Johnson shaped men 'from a lot of broken areas,' turning pain into purpose and dysfunction into dominance. Under Johnson's final four seasons, Dallas posted a staggering 50-22 record—cementing their dynasty status. In an age where team-specific documentaries are gaining popularity, this one promises to stand out. With its intimate access, unfiltered interviews, and emotional depth, America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys is set to deliver more than nostalgia—it's a front-row seat to football's most dramatic rise. As Jerry Jones says with a sly grin in the trailer, 'There's a soap opera 365 days a year… We do it our way, baby.' And come August 19, Netflix viewers will get to witness exactly how that legacy was built. Also Read: Is the Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift relationship just a PR stunt for headlines?
