It wasn't the same team, though it was the same core. As for Johnson being a proponent of good decisions, the "White House" comes to mind. Johnson is no saint. He and Switzer are peas in a pod when it comes to having any sort of moral compass. Neither of them makes a wart on Landry's derriere. The "Boys" ran a muck morally under Johnson as much as they did under Switzer. In fact, Johnson is known for his outlaw teams. Remember Miami? They were just as rotten as the Sooners under Barry. I am no Switzer apologist, but a ring is a ring is a ring...and he got one. If this were a list of all-time good guys, it would not be the same, for sure.

The list for him is Top Ten Boobs of Cowboys' History. His differences from Jimmy Johnson are more than mere differences. His style is one of weakness and lack of conviction. It was the kind of thing that had the very talented and very disciplined Aikman wishing he could beat the mess out of his head coach. Men with varying levels of experience still have need of a leader. Simply being a man doesn't mean you'll always make the right decision, and Johnson demanded his players did just that. On the other hand, Switzer was too busy trying to smuggle firearms onto airplanes to know what his players were doing, and he just didn't really seem to care. I think it's more like 5,000 coaches could have coached those '95 Cowboys to the victory in Super Bowl XXX. As a matter of fact, I think I could have walked into that season without ever coaching a game of football in my life and achieved the exact same outcome. Again, Barry (an Oklahoman, by the way) has no place on this list. Just seeing his name makes me want to spit on my screen. Switzer does not belong on this list.
