tells the teenagers in a Zoom call that he grew up in Port Arthur, too. Procter Street. Two blocks over from Janis Joplin, he says, “if you’ve heard of her.” Fat chance. Four months before the call, they’d never heard of the guy they were talking to. And one of them lives just off Jimmy Johnson Blvd.
The story starts with a Port Arthur Memorial history teacher, Rachel Simmons, and her husband, Rob. Rachel sponsors the history competition as an extracurricular activity. She needed topics. Rob, a sports nut, said they should take advantage of the fact that Jimmy Johnson grew up in Port Arthur. They could make it work by demonstrating how the Herschel trade and Jimmy’s chart changed the NFL.He simply wanted as many picks as he could get. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
Jimmy says, because it netted four key players. Even though those four – Emmitt Smith, Darren Woodson, Russell Maryland and Kevin Smith – were critical to the Cowboys’ success, Jimmy says, he made lots of trades. Fifty-one in five years. More than the rest of the league put together, he says.The idea, Jimmy says, started with his talent evaluations while head coach at Oklahoma State and Miami. He needed a formula to project how athletes would develop, so he came up with five desired qualities.
“If I’m the only one with the trade chart...,” he says, and the students and Jimmy laugh at the genius of it all. Jimmy finishes up the half-hour call by encouraging Davion and Cobe and telling them that grades come before football. They take their newly gathered information, polish up their board and, on Feb. 4, enter the regionals in Baytown.
