The Rock Crashed Fox’s Pregame Show and Had Jimmy Johnson Tearing Up With Heartfelt Messages

When Jimmy Johnson was coaching the

Miami Hurricanes, Dwayne Johnson had

a fantasy of playing for him before he

became a professional wrestler, owner of

the XFL, and well-known actor.

Johnson took Miami to new heights in

the 1980s and led the Hurricanes to a

national championship in ’87. When The

Rock reached his senior year of high

 

school in ’89, he only wanted to play

football for Johnson. However, the Pro

Football Hall of Fame coach jumped to

the NFL ranks to become the Dallas

Cowboys’ second head coach ahead of the ‘89 campaign.

The Rock chose to play for the

Hurricanes in remembrance of Johnson

even though he was unable to play for

the renowned coach. The Rock presented

Johnson with his letter of intent to play

for him while he was at Miami and

praised the newest member of the

Cowboys Ring of Honor on the Fox NFL Sunday pregame show.

“I intended to present this to you when I

was eighteen. The Rock chuckled, “This is

my letter of intent to play for you. It

would be an honor if you ever decided to become a coach again.

Johnson was nearly in tears.

The Rock spent four years at Miami as a

defensive lineman from 1991 to ’94 and

was part of Miami’s championship team in ’91.

After 30 years and the ending of deep-

rooted friction with Dallas owner Jerry

Jones, Johnson earned his rightful place

in the Cowboys’ Ring of Honor during

halftime of the team’s 20–19 victory on Saturday night.
