Jimmy Johnson finds out he is a Hall of Famer with a great, live-on-TV surprise

On Saturday, former Pittsburgh Steelers coach Bill Cowher learned that he was elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame with a live surprise during the CBS pregame show for Titans-Ravens.

A day later, it was Jimmy Johnson’s turn.

During the halftime show for Sunday’s NFC Divisional matchup of Seahawks-Packers, the president of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, David Baker, dropped by the Fox set and had some exciting news for Johnson.

Having seen what unfolded with Cowher on Saturday, Johnson — a two-time Super Bowl champion coach — immediately knew why Baker was visiting the set and grew overwhelmed with emotion. It was another fantastic moment and an even better surprise.

As the humbled Johnson was reacting to the news, the Fox broadcast showed a shot of a visibly tearful Troy Aikman at Lambeau Field.

Everything about the moment was executed wonderfully. Congratulations to Johnson.
