The Jimmies Johnson--A Comparison

Jimmie Johnson's fast start to the 2006 season has rekindled interest in that other Jimmy Johnson, the one who coached the Dallas Cowboys to two Super Bowls and several convictions. Lets take a look at the two:

Birthplace
Jimmy Johnson: Port Arthur, Texas
Jimmie Johnson: Nascar "Young Gun" Assembly Plant, Charlotte North Carolina

Early Career
Jimmy Johnson: Played football at Arkansas with future antagonist Jerry Jones
Jimmie Johnson: Raced off-road in SCORE with future antagonist Robby Gordon

Big Break
Jimmy Johnson: Coaching at the University of Miami
Jimmie Johnson: Driving "that Exedrin car for that guy" (Reggie Jackson)

First Pro Year
Jimmy Johnson: Reviled by Cowboys fans for replacing Tom Landry
Jimmie Johnson: Reviled by Nascar fans for being associated with Jeff Gordon

Sign of Success
Jimmy Johnson: Spawned the annoying catch phrase "How 'bout them Cowboys?"
Jimmie Johnson: Booed at the track

Most Embaressing Televised Moment
Jimmy Johnson: Saying that he had divorced his wife, since she no longer fit "...into my game plan"
Jimmie Johnson: Briefly sweating during a post-race interview

Smarmiest Moment
Jimmy Johnson: Letting his dog sit in on an NFL draft war room
Jimmie Johnson: That dumb post-race interview with Michael Waltrip

Constant Answer to Constant Question
Jimmy Johnson: "No, Troy Aikman is NOT gay"
Jimmie Johnson: "No, Jeff Gordon is NOT gay"

Bad Acting Choice
Jimmy Johnson: Appearing as a drunk on "The Shield"
Jimmie Johnson: Appearing as a stereotype in "Nascar 3D"

Biggest Disappointment
Jimmy Johnson: Never won a Super Bowl for Dan Marino
Jimmie Johnson: Has lost championships to a robot and a jerk (twice)
