A legend in every walk of his life, Jimmy Johnson is calling it a career as a FOX studio analyst.
Jimmy Johnson is retiring from his television career as a studio analyst on FOX NFL Sunday. After nearly 30 years in media and winning numerous Emmys and other awards along with his FOX team, the 81-year-old Johnson says goodbye to yet another job where he left a legendary mark.
Johnson has been a mainstay on FOX since 2002, having also worked for them briefly between his departure as coach of the Dallas Cowboys and joining the Miami Dolphins. He was part of the original lineup along with James Brown, Terry Bradshaw, and Howie Long that became the gold standard for NFL studio shows. Brown left FOX in 2005 to join CBS, but the analysts have all remained until today’s news.

Back in 1994, Johnson was one of the hottest names in sports following two straight Super Bowl championships with Dallas. Battle-tested in front of microphones from his time as the ringmaster of Jerry Jones’ circus, Johnson was a natural in TV and became a beloved NFL figure over his long, heralded career on FOX. Cowboys fans have regularly heard his thoughts on the team as FOX often carries Dallas games, many of them their “Game of the Week.”
We join all Cowboys Nation in warmly wishing Jimmy a wonderful retirement!
