FILE - Miami coach Jimmy Johnson, center, is hugged by his sons, Chad, left, and Brent, rightk, while walking off the field following the team's win over Nebraska in the Orange Bowl college football game in Miami, Jan. 2, 1989. Johnson won two Super Bowls as coach of the Dallas Cowboys and a national championship at Miami. In his view, Johnson’s biggest success has nothing to do with football. The 79-year-old Johnson describes in “Swagger,” his memoir that released on Tuesday, how his addiction to football and winning caused him to never have a family dinner. His two sons played football but Dad never saw them play a full game. (AP Photo/Chris O'Meara, File)
