25 Sports Celebs Better For Survivor Than Jimmy Johnson

Jon StarJul 27, 2010

Former Dallas Cowboys head coach and current FOX host Jimmy Johnson recently announced that he will join the new cast of CBS' long-running reality series "Survivor". Johnson's season will take place in Guatemala and reportedly not interfere with his current FOX schedule.

Johnson has long been known for his boisterous and out-going personality which should fit very well on the show that demands unique characters (or caricatures). 

While Johnson should be an entertaining choice nonetheless, there are still 25 other sports figures who could take Johnson's spot and bring much more to the show.
