BREAKING NEWSFox Sports TV icon Jimmy Johnson announces retirement... weeks after bursting into tears at the Super Bowl

Fox Sports and long-time football legend Jimmy Johnson has announced he is retiring after a long career spanning 60 years in and around the NFL.

Johnson spent over 30 years as a coach and front office exec in the league, before moving into the world of TV to spend another three decades with Fox.

He has been a staple of the network’s football coverage, and hinted at his retirement last month at the Super Bowl when he burst into tears live on air following a tribute to his career.

The news was announced by Johnson himself on The Herd on Monday, as he told Colin Cowherd: ‘I’ve made an extremely difficult decision.

‘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 all the guys.
