Guess what football "star" will be on Survivor?

No way! He'd never take a chance on mussing up his hair!

He looks more like a politician than someone who'd be on Survivor with that hair. Hmmm...is he a politician?

If he's linkat's Jimmy he's a former coach and current analyst on TV

Thanks, Pan. I predict both he and his hair will both be voted off early on LOL.

You never know in the States... Regan, Bono, Schwarzenegger...seems like anydamnbody can hold office. Why, I'm surprised OJ didn't run for something when he got off. And why not a jock - they already have lots of jerks.

I bet his one luxury item will be a comb (or hair gel)

yep that Jimmy Johnson of Dallas cowboys and more recently Miami coach fame. Supposedly he tried to get on last year, but failed the fitness test. He loves survivor so much he worked out and lost weight to qualify.

I looked him up. He went to high school with Janis Joplin. I just skimmed over his long career as a football coach, but I'm betting a lot of the guys will know him and not so much the girls. I can't see him lasting very long unless he's really, really bad at challenges and they figure he's not a threat. They're not going to want to give him the bucks, though lol.

Filming started around the end of June, so he's probably already relaxing on the Ponderosa.

If he is really bad at the challenges he could go early.

He may be kept for a little while for novality of it. Wouldn't it be fun to hang with Jimmy Johnson?

As far as "celebs" go, yeah

I imagine he'd have some great stories to share, both as a coach and as an announcer. He's 67...and from the photo above looks healthy. I wonder what kind of a toll the heat and dietary deprivations will take on him, though.

I'm ready for some Survivor!!!
