Witten Will Work with His 8th Position Coach in 16 Seasons
by Kristi Scales | Jan 5, 2018 | Articles, The League, The Team

When Jason Witten returns for the 2018 season, he’ll have a new position coach for the eighth time in his 16 seasons with the Cowboys. The new incoming coach will be the third Tight Ends coach in three consecutive seasons for Dallas.

The retirement of Steve Loney, tight ends coach last season, comes one year after the retirement of Mike Pope who served three years with the Cowboys (2014-16).

Of all the positions on the Cowboys’ staff, Tight Ends Coach has been the revolving door. Loney and Pope are two of seven TEs coaches since Witten was drafted by the Cowboys in 2003. How familiar are you with the others? You’ll earn your blue Cowboys’ star if you know the names of other coaches on the list below. This is a tough one though, so I’ll give you a few hints....



...Once again, here’s the list of Witten’s tight ends coaches in chronological order:

Tony Sparano (2003-04)

Paul Pasqualoni (2005)

Freddie Kitchens (2006)

John Garrett (2007-2012)

Wes Phillips (2013)

Mike Pope (2014-16)

Steve Loney (2017)

I hope this coach is willing to learn from Witten while he can.

Witten needs to retire.

Great career but might actually be a progress stopper at this point.

Just make Witten a player/coach. I thought they should do the same with Lee and the LBs.
