With Don Shula still lashing out at his successor 5 years after the fact, saying that Marino "only had one coach" and such, I'm glad that Jimmy is taking the high road with this. He could easily counter with some verbage of his own, maybe even pointing to Marino's inconsistency during the last couple of years, but that would take some of the spotlight off Danny and his HOF induction...and he knows it. For that, I am thanking Jimmy Johnson.

Now were the inconsistencies due to an impotent offensive coordinator and collection of scrubs for surrounding "talent"? Most definitely, but still he chooses to remain silent and let Dan enjoy his moment. I'm drinking a green lizard in your honor, coach.

Dan would have looked MUCH better had Jonhson not taken away his right to call audibles. Even with crappy talent, Marino would have played 5 times better. His ability to read defenses would have made up for his short comings that were a result of his age, knees, and ankle.
AS for Johnson being quiet: there is nothing he could say in retaliation. Shula is right. Johnson's arrogance was much bigger than his coaching ability and he handcuffed the greatest QB in history to prove his way was the right way. We all saw how right Jimmy was. :shakeno:
 
It sure was a lot of class when he stomped on the flutie flakes which proceeds went to autistic children. He did apologize for the incident though.

:lol: That was awesome.


You do know though, that he was taking a jab at flutie, and the fact that Trace Armstrong sacked him and caused a fumble to end the game...NOT autistic children, right???

If that was the case, I'm sure he would have thought twice about it, being that Dan Marino has an autistic son.
 
Well at least Shula never attacked Dan through the press and blamed him for a loss. Sorry but JJ was bitching about SHula and his playbook a week after he got here.
 
You can say a lot of positive things about Jimmy Johnson. Most if it is about the way he won at the U of Miami, the way he turned around the Cowboys, the way he fleeced the Vikings, and his hair. I don't think anybody ever confused him for a class act before now, though.

You haven't heard from Jimmy because he knows that it's Shula's team and that more Miami fans blame him than support him. Without him, Dave would have never coached this team.
