On February 25, 1989, Jerry Jones purchased the Dallas Cowboys from H.R. "Bum" Bright. Almost immediately, he replaced Tom Landry, the only coach the Cowboys had ever known, with University of Miami head coach Jimmy Johnson who had played football with Jones at the University of Arkansas. Although many fans were angry at the sudden change, it turned out to be a prudent move -- over the course of the next seven years, the Cowboys would win three Super Bowls.
