Switzer is lucky he inherited Troy Aikman and the rest of Jimmy's team. Within a couple of years of Switzer's "leeadership" the Cowboys got bad and have never reached the level of the team he inherited.

And who's team did Jimmy inherit?

“And who’s team did Jimmy inherit?”

Jimmy Johnson inherited a losing team that he rebuilt with mostly new players he selected.

Jimmy Johnson’s coaching record with the Cowboys:

1989 1-15
1990 7-9
1991 11-5
1992 13-3 Won Superbowl
1993 12-4 Won Superbowl

Jimmy didn’t inherit a very good team. Landry’s last years were craptastic. Give credit where it’s due. Jimmy Johnson built a great team, and it wasn’t just Aikman, Smith, and Irving. He built some damn good defenses. What Jerry Jones did to Tom Landry by firing him the way he did was inexcusable, but that wasn’t Jimmy’s fault.

And who's team did Jimmy inherit?

Tom Landry's 3-13 team.
