Jimmy Johnson, former Dolphins (1996-99) and UM (1984-88, national championship 1987) coach attended a tribute to retiring UM Athletic Director Paul Dee at BankUnited Center this past week. Staff Writer Sarah Talalay asked him a few questions about the Dolphins, UM and Jason Taylor, whom Johnson drafted in 1997.

I'm sure that answer regarding JT on DWTS being OK will make him best buds with Parcells! :lol:

The greatest value of the past is how wisely we invest it in the future.

lordy, I hope buttercup boy is correct on this one..

And Randy having such a great recruiting class I think is going to give him an edge here immediately.

He's won as many super bowls haha.

A lot of people hate on Jimmy, and he did some inexplicable things (like bestow us with Wanny) but he built a decent program here. Think about it, the foundation he laid down, allowed a Dave Wannstedt led team, with Jay Fiedler as QB, to win playoff games and even in non-playoff years win 10 games or so.

This point is so true and a lot of people fail to realize it.
That core he built masked the yearly progressive march towards this franchise's complete collapse under Wanny's GM/Coaching.

Still I have to hate him because it was JJ himself that talked Wayne H. into hiring Wanny and to trust him with complete control.

:lol:

yeah, also not trying to milk Dan's last couple of years. Him and Wayne deserve blame for Wanny in my opinion.

Maybe Dave just has really nice twinkly sparkly eyes in private interviews. I mean, he swindled the Pitt AD to give him a job.

JJ will always be very special in my heart, I don't really care much for his personality but you have to respect him as a coach.
