Watch: Jimmy Johnson gives awesome speech during Cowboys Ring of Honor ceremony

During his speech, Johnson thanked his family ("No one knows your sacrifices like your family"), his players for sticking with him ("At times you thought I was a tyrant, an A-hole") and Cowboys fans and haters alike.

And of course, he ended his speech with Michael Irvin and Emmitt Smith behind him, shouting, "How 'bout them Cowboys!"

Johnson won back-to-back Super Bowls in 1992 and 1993 but was bought out of his contract following the 1993 season. 

At the time, Johnson discussed the brewing tension between himself and Jones by telling reporters, "[Jones] said he wanted to be more part of it. He said, 'I want it to be Jimmy and Jerry ... not just Jimmy.' From that time on, it's always been a problem."

Last year, Johnson further opened up about the premature split during an interview promoting his 2022 memoir. (h/t Pro Football Network)

"When we started winning, things changed a little bit. There started to be a little bit of tension ... He wanted to be more in the spotlight. I was proud of what we accomplished. Maybe I didn't want to share it," he said.

While Jones and Johnson, who were teammates during the 1960s at Arkansas, have been cordial in recent years, Johnson's notable absence from the Ring of Honor led to questions about potential lingering animosity between the pair.

With that in the rearview, Jones, Johnson and everyone else responsible for the Cowboys success in the 90s can return to celebrating what they accomplished. The New England Patriots (2003-04) are the only franchise since the Cowboys to win back-to-back Super Bowls.

Social media lit up after Johnson's speech, with several people cheering the moment, including noted Cowboys antagonizer Stephen A. Smith.

Johnson's time with the franchise ended far too soon, but after Saturday night, he's back where he belongs.
