It's a long overdue honor for Johnson, who was not only the coach but the architect of the Cowboys' dynasty in the early 1990s that won two Super Bowls in three years. His fingerprints were also all over that third Super Bowl the following year. In truth, he had a tremendous impact in helping form of one of the greatest teams that the league has seen that featured a plethora of Hall of Fame talent.

The fact that it has taken this long is quite a head-scratcher given how much success he had with the Cowboys helping them win two out of their five Super Bowls during his stint with the organization. Although things flamed out in a disappointing fashion with both Johnson and team owner Jerry Jones butting heads, it was a time frame that saw Dallas reach the mountaintops of success.

What has likely helped Johnson finally get into that select group in the Ring of Honor is that he and Jones have somewhat mended the fences over the years. Regardless of the conflict that came between the two, there is a strong level of respect between the two for what was accomplished together during the 1990s. It was only a matter of time before Johnson would get this honor.
