Thirty years after he coached the Dallas Cowboys, Jimmy Johnson is going into the team's ring of honor.

Owner and general manager Jerry Jones made the announcement prior to Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers after Johnson spent time in the locker room. The halftime induction will take place at AT&T Stadium on Dec. 30 against the Detroit Lions.

"It feels right," Jones said. "It feels rewarded by what it represents, all of the times that we had. There were traumatic times. I'm not trying to be overly dramatic, but nice little scars. Beautiful scars, 30 years ago during that particular time. So appropriate that Jimmy Johnson should be recognized in this manner by any definition you want to come up with.
