FOX Sports CEO Eric Shanks on Jimmy Johnson’s Retirement

FOX Sports CEO Eric Shanks on Jimmy Johnson’s retirement:

“Jimmy Johnson was there when FOX NFL SUNDAY came on-air for the first time 31 years ago, and since then has been a cherished member of our FOX Sports family, which makes today’s retirement news bittersweet.

Jimmy served as an inspiration to generations of football fans with his legendary swagger, one-of-a-kind insight and signature humor. From his motivating pep talks to his unmatched energy over the years, he was our coach who always pushed us to be better. We’re incredibly grateful for his contributions in making FOX NFL SUNDAY the top pregame show on TV, where we shared countless memorable moments, highlighted by surprising him live on-air with the news he was being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame – an occasion we will never forget.

Coach will be sincerely missed and we wish him the best as he sets sail into retirement, like only Jimmy Johnson can.”
