Was this the thing that was supposed to get fans excited? Like some kind of master plan from the owner/president/gm?? WOW

"Jerry has talked to Witten in recent weeks and I do believe that he was part of the plan when Jerry was going to bring back Mike McCarthy. I think the plan there was to make him an heir apparent of sorts"

Exactly like I said. Witten was Garrett. McCarthy was Wade.

Jerry tried to get Witt on MM's staff when MM was hired. This was when Witt had no prior coaching experience whatsoever. Not even the little experience he has now at the high school level.
MM said no then and looks like he said no again. Jerry runs the richest sports organization int the world like it's a family general store in the backwoods of Arkansas.

Not how I view it but in Jerrys view, he allowed KM to go seek employment elsewhere and he left. Jerry feels like if guys wanna be here, they will be here. Its weird but its how he is. Just look what he said about MM recently. Jerry is stuck on loyalty and todays NFL doesn't work this way. They way he sees it Kellen left the Cowboy family, so I'd be shocked if he was interviewed then hired. Now Jj is forced to watch a division foe win and win big in the playoffs with his boy wonder. Imagine the angst he feels right now. Jerrys pride won't allow him to place the call.
yeah kellen was already all up under staley. it was a mutual thing.

Jerry: "Mike, I want you to train your resplacement."
Mike: "Uh...what?"
Jerry: "Yeah. I'll hire Jason Witten and you can train him to take your job. Whatcha think?"
MIke: "I'm out..."

I'm surprised we haven't heard about a scheduled interview yet with anyone.

Makes me think we have something worked out on the down low with Andy Reid.

McCarthy and Witten? Dumb and Dumber.

I'm willing to take a 2nd look at Witten, but what I saw from Witten in the broadcast booth was "doofus"...kinda like Mike McCarthy. I know Garrett waxed poetic about how Witt went on for 15-20 minutes breaking down his Y-option route...whatever. Is he another Dan Campbell? Can he reach players or will he be seen as a Jones stooge?

I don't see it happening.
