· What would you say was the biggest difference between Jimmy Johnson and Dennis Erickson?
Jimmy was a beast. He wasn't a micromanager, he hired great assistants & let them do their jobs. He ran special teams & was cutthroat but was great with the players letting us be us. Both him & Coach Erickson let us be us as long as we took care of business. Erickson brought an offensive system that was ahead of its time. The offense you see today is based on the 1-Back offense he ran. We were doing all of this in 89, 90, 91!
