The former head coach, Jimmy Johnson, who helped the Dallas Cowboys bag two Super Bowl rings, knows his way through training a team. He trained some of the best youngest football players of the Dallas Texas Cowboys like Roger Staubach, Bob Lilly, etc. Along with being the greatest coach, he knows how to handle a bunch. Especially a team of young and underpaid football players that he trained under his reign.

On an appearance on The Herd with Colin Cowherd, the host of the show discussed the Los Angeles Rams, who are coached by Sean McVay. According to Cowherd, the football player in the Rams are the ones who get their money and stay happy. “They don’t have a lot of what I would call like high maintenance guys,” said Colin Cowherd.

However, the deal with the veteran players is different. They ask various questions to the coaches.
