Favorite Jimmy Johnson Quotes

1. "The only thing worse than a coach or CEO who doesn't care about his people is one who pretends to care. People can spot a phony every time." ~ Jimmy Johnson
2. "Treat a person as he is, and he will remain as he is. Treat a person as if he were where he could be and should be, and he will become what he could be and should be." ~ Jimmy Johnson
3. "Do you want to be safe and good, or do you want to take a chance and be great?" ~ Jimmy Johnson
4. "Military leaders aren't made. They are born. To be a good leader, you have to have something in your character to cause people to follow you." ~ Jimmy Johnson
5. "Give people enough guidance to make the decisions you want them to make. Don't tell them what to do, but encourage them to do what is best." ~ Jimmy Johnson
6. "But I was always a bit of a gypsy, anyway. I spent five years at Oklahoma State, five years at Miami and moved on after winning the national championship, and five years with the Cowboys. So, I was ready to move on. We won back-to-back Super Bowls, and I felt that I accomplished what I wanted to accomplish." ~ Jimmy Johnson
7. "And the main thing was that I wanted to live in south Florida. That's why I left the Cowboys; to live in south Florida." ~ Jimmy Johnson
8. "I can't confirm any rumors. I'm happy doing what I'm doing. I have no interest in going back to coaching." ~ Jimmy Johnson
9. "An objective truth and individual reason are feared above all." ~ Jimmy Johnson
10. "Two to three years down the road, other companies not on a model like Dell's will be in trouble." ~ Jimmy Johnson
11. "The other thing was that when I was at the University of Miami, we ran a pro-style offense and defense. I started each year by going to a pro training camp, I visited with various pro coaches, and I did this for five years." ~ Jimmy Johnson
12. "I think as far as any kind of pressure on a football team or on an individual in professional sports really depends not only on that individual but the leadership they have on the team and the leadership they have on the coaching staff. A lot of times, they can divert some of those pressures off of the individual and off of the team." ~ Jimmy Johnson
13. "I've heard all the coaches complaining about the new CBA rules limiting padded practice. I don't like the reduction to just 15 padded practices during the season. When I coached, we always practiced in pads; and three days a week." ~ Jimmy Johnson
14. "Like I always say, it's not how many great plays you make; it's how few bad ones you make. I know fans, and even some losing coaches, are enamored with long pass completions or the great run plays, but that doesn't offset the interception or the fumble." ~ Jimmy Johnson
15. "There is a way to practice hard and be physical without pads. You can still be a physical football team and be efficient in practice without pads. The 49ers practiced like that for a long period of time in the 1980s under Bill Walsh and were extremely successful when all the other teams were practicing in pads." ~ Jimmy Johnson
