On Monday, NFL legend Jimmy Johnson announced his retirement from Fox Sports.
Johnson spent over 30 years as an NFL analyst for the network after a very successful coaching career at the collegiate and professional level. His retirement is not necessarily a surprise after Fox aired an emotional tribute in his honor ahead of this year's Super Bowl, but it's nevertheless a melancholy affair as the longtime coach leaves the game behind.
He's been a mainstay of the football world for a very long time, and his absence will be felt come fall on the Fox NFL Sunday desk.
We love you, Coach. Congratulations on an amazing career.

Jimmy Johnson announced on Colin Cowherd's show early today that he's retiring from broadcasting after 31 years at Fox. The Pro Football Hall of Fall coach will forever be appreciated in South Florida for his stewardship of the Canes (in their glory years) and Dolphins.

What a life for Jimmy Johnson. From player, to elite coach in the college and NFL level, to one of the best studio analysts I have ever seen.
