Tonight, Jimmy Johnson was notified on live television that he received the necessary votes to be included in the 2020 HOF class as part of the special centennial group that will include a class consisting of 15 players, coaches, and contributors in addition to the five modern-era finalists.
Johnson will go into Canton for what he did with the Dallas Cowboys rather than what he did with the Dolphins. Many have debated whether Johnson deserved to be included in the Hall of Fame and he may not have gotten the chance if not for this special increase to 20.
