Today's question is courtesy Manix. Identify all the visuals and a common theme that connects them.Answer: The connect is Jimmy Johnson. Clockwise from left to right: (a) Janis Joplin, a classmate of JJ, (b) Jerry Jones, the cowboys owner under whom JJ coached, (c) Barry Switzer, the OU coach who is the only other man to have won a national championship and a super bowl, (d) Doug Flutie after throwing the legendary Hail Mary against JJ's Hurricanes and (e) Dan Marino who played for JJ towards the end of his career. Raghu and Ashwin got it right. Well done.

a tenuous connection : Jimmy Johnson (JJ)
* Janis Joplin was JJ's classmate in Port Arthur, TX.
* Jerry Jones (owner of Cowboys) was JJ's collegemate.
* Barry Switzer was the football coach for both JJ and Jones in Arkansas
* Dan Marino was to JJ what Joe Montana was to Bill Walsh
clockwise from the left, Janis Joplin the singer, Jerry Jones the Dallas Cowboys owner, Barry Switzer former OU and Dallas Cowboys head coach, Dan Marino former Miami Dolphins QB and Doug Flutie throwing after his hail mary pass. The connection is Jimmy Johnson. Joplin went to school with him. He was the Cowboys head coach, but left to become the Dolphins head coach when Dan Marino played there. Barry Switzer replaced Johnson as the cowboys head coach. Finally, Johnson was the Miami hurricanes head coach when Doug Flutie threw his hail mary to beat the canes... whew!
