Jimmy Johnson, the Hall of Famer, announced his retirement from FOX NFL Sunday, concluding a 31-year stint. Johnson has long expressed his desire to escape the demanding world of football broadcasting and enjoy a relaxed life, focusing on fishing and spending quality time with family in Florida. His departure raises questions about the quality of the Fox pregame show, which has been criticized for its lack of substance. There's hope that Johnson's retirement might push for changes in the show's lineup to attract a younger audience.
I've been thinking about it for the last four or five years and I've decided to retire from Fox. I'm going to miss it. I'm going to miss all the guys.
It's the Fox pregame show! No one who works on that show has EVER done good work! I bet you forgot that Jimmy was still on it before I delivered this news to you!
I'd like to think that Johnson's retirement will spur Fox to overhaul its studio roster entirely.
Jimmy wanted more time to fish, to hang out in the Florida Keys, and to pretend he enjoys being with his wife and children.
