THE ED MYLETT SHOW · 9 Unbreakable Rules of Consistency and Commitment | Ed Mylett · 20 Dec 2025 podcast

And so why I was emotional, Ed, was you're right.

I've known Jimmy since I was about 14 years old.

He was recruiting me out of high school when he was at Oklahoma State.

and I didn't go to Oklahoma State, of course, and then he went to Miami, recruited me there, and I didn't go there, and then I go to Dallas, and he takes over for Tom Landry, so now he's coaching me, and then he drafted Steve Walsh, and you're right, it got off to a really tough start, but he and I have gotten, we're really close, and so he's never gone into the ring of honor at Cowboys Stadium, where they have all the names, and

We all feel, those of us that played for him, feel that if any of us are in the Ring of Honor, he certainly should be in the Ring of Honor.

But that's a decision for Jerry Jones to make.

And so I never was certain he would get into the Pro Football Hall of Fame because he hadn't coached long enough was the reason.

Not that he didn't deserve to be in.

I just didn't think that, well, he wanted to go on and do his boat and be in South Florida and all that.

And so I just didn't know that because he'd been a finalist for a number of years.

And so knowing how much that meant to him and had not yet been recognized for what he had done for those teams with the Cowboys, to see him go into the Pro Football Hall of Fame that night was really special.

I mean, that's why I was so emotional.

I was so happy for him.

And then to take it a step further is he asked me to be his presenter.

So I presented him then, which is the greatest honor.

I mean, the greatest athletic honor I've ever received is, as I mentioned, going into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the greatest honor I've ever received in general.

was Jimmy Johnson asking me to be his presenter because when you go into the Hall of Fame, you can ask anybody you want to be your presenter.

And so when he asked me, I just thought, man, that's a pretty special thing.

Oh, wonderful, man.

How do you deal with that?
