1) Chance that Witten is back next season as a player?
2) Then, chance that Witten is back next season as the TE coach?
I'll give the former a 55% chance. I think he'll again be stimulated enough to see what could happen.
I'll give the latter a 35% chance.
10% chance he's not on the sidelines at all next season.

I wish but I don't think he'll come back. IIRC, Jerry refused him a good interview opportunity and then he left on his own the following season. Don't think he was happy with this org.

Oh please reports are that Stephen and Jerry concurred that McCarthy should acquire retain the coaches he likes. Where was Stephen's stamp then throughout the season? Jerry should step down as GM but why does a positive turn or decision mean it is because of Stephen. Can't we be happy that our new head coach gets to pick his coaching staff? That is how it should be. And if McCarthy retains an existing coach don't start calling McCarthy a puppet.

I do not think this article has been posted. There is hope that Dallas (JJ) is changing his ways.
On if McCarthy is the person that the Cowboys targeted to be their head coach “a week or two ago”:
“Yea they wanted NFL head coaching experience. And I know a lot of people out there they thought they’d go after like a Lincoln Riley, that wasn’t the case. They didn’t want somebody with college experience. They wanted somebody who’s an NFL head coach.”
“At first they wanted defense. The more they did research on Mike McCarthy, the more they really started to fall in love with the grunt that is Mike McCarthy. He is a football guy. And when they met with him and interviewed him, I think they looked at it and said there’s such a difference between him and Jason Garrett.”
“Jason Garrett obviously a Princeton kind of guy. Mike McCarthy is just a Pittsburgh guy. Worked at the tollbooth. He’s a grunt. And the way he went in there and explained how he would run their offense, run their team. That team needs a lot of discipline also.”
“They just fell in love with him throughout the night. Again I reported yesterday on our FOX NFL Sunday playoff show that he was still in Dallas. The interview was only supposed to last the first day, but it went so well they ended up keeping him overnight.”
On if there were any concessions that McCarthy had to make with regards to the coaching staff:
“Nope. Nope. Zero. At first the Cowboys I think were looking at it like ‘We love our offensive coaches, we’d love to do that,’ but at the end they talked to Mike and they all talked through it. And I think they realized ‘You know what we’ve done this in the past, we’ve tried to push certain coaches on others,’ we can’t do it this time. And they pulled off.”
“I do think he likes Kellen Moore, I think Kellen Moore will be there. Mike Nolan who’s the linebacker coach for the Saints, Mike Nolan hired Mike McCarthy as his offensive coordinator when Mike Nolan was the head coach of the 49ers and I think you’ll see Mike McCarthy here return the favor and bring Mike Nolan in to help run that defense.”
“Look all of the pieces are in place. They just need some ball coaches who can kind of ratchet up the discipline there and use those pieces a little bit better.”
On McCarthy not having a great history at developing rushing games and if that was a concern for the Cowboys:
“No. One of the things he walked in there he was like, he hasn’t really had a guy like Zeke Elliott before. You know Mike, look when you have Brett Favre, when you have Joe Montana, Brett Favre, and Aaron Rodgers as your quarterbacks, you’re going to kind of go pass happy. But he’s never really had a guy like Zeke so, no. That’s one of the things they discussed also. He loves Dak. He’s excited to work with Dak, but he hasn’t had a Zeke Elliott type guy. No, they’re going to feed him like crazy.”
It’s interesting seeing Glazer mentioned twice that discipline is needed for this team. This is a sentiment that many likely agree with as the Cowboys seemed to lack that quality in many situations in 2019.
Perhaps the greatest revelation here is that there were no concessions for McCarthy in terms of his coaching staff. While there are certainly names that we’d all like to see him retain, as the team’s head coach, he should have full say at who is and isn’t on his staff.

And yet the lack of discipline and repercussions was something his former player Greg Jennings mentioned was a big issue under McCarthy.

Jerry: Now Mike we feel strongly we have some good coaches already here that can be a true asset to helping you win games. We would encourage you to consider them in your hires. Make no mistake though you can hire who you feel is right for the role, despite how we feel about the current staff. It's important we give you control of that and if you would like we can set you up with interviews for Kellen Moore and Kris Richard tomorrow. Two talented young coaches.
That's kind of how I see it going down, lol.

Sounds all fine and dandy, but I aint gettin too excited til I see it translate....all this and him supposedly evolving as a coach, using in-game analytics bla bla bla, is enough to make me content with the hire, but its still boring and still cant believe Jerry just stopped interviewing smh.....whatevs
