Anyone who follows the NFL closely is accustomed to the Dallas Cowboys crumbling in the playoffs. It may as well be a January tradition. And after getting embarrassed by the Green Bay Packers so badly on Sunday that people started joking about Bill Belichick, one notable person decided enough was enough.
Former Cowboys coaching legend Jimmy Johnson.
During Fox’s halftime show, Johnson looked directly into the camera and delivered a weirdly passionate pep talk to the Cowboys with their season hanging in the balance. He professed that he’d keep it clean before saying the players need to get their “rear-ends” in order.
I’m not stunned this happened, but I love seeing Johnson still show this kind of emotion for the Cowboys:
JIMMY JOHNSON IS FIRED UP 😳😤
You have to hear this message he had for the Cowboys! pic.twitter.com/cSc70hdIoz

Whether the Cowboys saw Johnson’s message is irrelevant. It’s apparent that all this consistent playoff failure is starting to wear on some Dallas franchise legends. We’ll see whether the Cowboys can change Johnson’s tune by the end of this Wild Card battle.
NFL fans had so many thoughts about Johnson's Cowboys speech on Twitter
Jimmy Johnson should coach the second half.
