‘You are cruel’ Michael Strahan tells Jimmy Johnson live on Fox NFL Sunday after he boldly declared ‘who really cares?’
JIMMY Johnson isn’t holding back on some of the NFL’s struggling head coaches.
Johnson took aim at Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson on Fox NFL Sunday.
The Jaguars are struggling immensely this season, and a lot of the blame will end up falling on the head coach.
At 2-8 on the season, it is all but guaranteed that Pederson will end up being fired at the end of the season or before it.
Curt Menefee asked the question whether or not Pederson will survive the season, and Johnson gave a damning answer.
“I don’t think so Curt,” Johnson said.

“But really, other than the people in Jacksonville and maybe London, who really cares?”
Johnson said that Pederson will be fine, as he already built a solid legacy with a Super Bowl win in Philadelphia.
“You look at it, he’s going to retire at the end of the season and he’s going to walk away with some money and a statue in Philadelphia,” he said.
“So it will be fine.”
Johnson’s answer still shocked some of the cast, with Michael Strahan surprised with Johnson’s cruelty.
“You are cruel,” Strahan said.
After Johnson trashed Pederson, Strahan went on his own rant about a head coach.
He went in on Las Vegas Raiders coach Antonio Pierce.
“When you’re in Vegas and you roll 7-11, you’re doing well, but that’s not good when that’s your record as a head coach,” he said.
“I think Antonio Pierce is a good head coach, and aspiring head coach. They’ve had eight head coaches in the last 13 years.
“You don’t have any consistency there which is what you need. Also, three of their top six first-rounders aren’t there anymore. That’s not including Josh Jacobs who’s an incredible player that they let go.”
Strahan said that the issues on the field can be traced back to the front office.
“I feel like it’s more of a board room problem for our friend Tom Brady to fix now that he took over a piece of that team,” he said.
“It’s not so much the head coach.”

The Raiders are in just as bad a position as the Jaguars, sitting at 2-7 this season.
However, Pierce will likely stick around as he was just hired this season.
