Critics Review
“The winning trait Swagger emphasizes above all is Johnson’s elite ability to motivate people, to figure out what makes them tick and get them dancing to his tune.” –Texas Monthly
“The mark of a good book is that it reveals things about a subject you were sure you knew well. That’s how I felt reading Swagger… There’s a lot in here for extremely single-minded driven people, regardless of profession. The stories are superb.” –Peter King, Peter King’s Football Morning in America
“Jimmy has been a friend for over thirty years. I have deep respect for his ability as a football coach and as a team builder!” –Bill Belichick
“Coach Jimmy Johnson’s ‘swagger’ attitude–the pride, the discipline, the relentless drive to win he instilled–helped me to become the quarterback I hoped to be and win at the highest level… . I wish Jimmy had written Swagger before I played for him. Then, I would have known just how far he was ahead of us in our pursuit of Super Bowl glory.” –Troy Aikman
“Swagger is the perfect title for a book by Jimmy Johnson. The hard-charging personality and championship football philosophy captured in these pages reflects the Jimmy I know and manner with which he carries himself. The man personifies ‘swagger’!” –Terry Bradshaw
