CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The waves were rocky and the wind gusty as Jimmy Johnson prepared his boat “Three Rings’’ for an April fishing trip in the Florida Keys. It was the kind of day where you might get sick on the choppy water, as one of the Hall of Fame coach’s young passengers eventually did.
It wasn’t a good day for fishing at all, but it was a great day for talking football.
At least that’s the way Carolina Panthers coach Matt Rhule recalls the day he and his son, Bryant, spent with Johnson during a recent family vacation.
