I think Jason Witten is an intriguing option. Based on a previous thread about Jerry talking about Witten as a potential NFL coach. He's got a good record as a coach in high school. What if we had him as OC?


I think Vrabel, Ben Johnson, or Glenn at HC and Witten at OC would be intriguing options. I, for one, would be intrigued to see it. I think Vrabel at HC, Witten (who knows Dak) at OC, and Bones at ST would be a fascinating coaching room. I could see that room developing a physical team. I would sign up for that actually.

You guys really want us to suck don’t you.

Okay, maybe not immediately, but if he can get a few years as a TE coach to start with (either here or Detroit) and if he proves himself as a TE coach, then why not?

I agree with this. Don't throw the man right into the fire as the OC.

IMO, Tony Romo would be a better choice for the job. Listening to him on Sunday's calling out plays and where the ball should go is something else. That isn't going to happen unless Jerry pays him more than he is making at CBS.

And I would imagine CBS is less stressful than coaching lol.

Indeed, and he should recruit Stepnoski heavily.

In 2010, Campbell began his coaching career when he was hired by the Miami Dolphins as a coaching intern.In 2 011, Campbell was promoted to the tight ends coach.

In January 2016, Campbell was hired by the New Orleans Saints as their assistant head coach and tight ends coach under head coach Sean Payton.

The question was asked should the Cowboys hire Jason Witten as OC.
Don't get Confused

Apprenticeship? I don’t see anything about Witten in your question. Campbell 3-year assistant head coach for Payton. There you go.
 
I'm not familiar with Witten's offensive schemes, theories or strategy. I think he's smart, disciplined and obviously uber experienced, but what does his offense look like?
 
SMH. Ya'll just don't learn.



Ya'll want MORE old Cowboys retreads? *facepalm*. I want NEW blood in here. Coaches that have no affiliation with this team or Jerry Jones

Go study and learn. Arlington Jonesboys fan.

Landry invented the 4-3 defense. Because he gave the defense to Vince Lombardi to use in Greenbay who's offense was design to beat the 4-3 D Landry changed and invented the flex 4/3.

Cowboy fans should know these important things. Landry was so smart and innovative with the flex defense, no one has used it since Landry was fired by Jerry Dumbo GM Jones.

Like I said, exactly what you said. He invented the flex.
 
Whoa!

Slow down. Let's try him as an intern, assisting the TE's coach. Isn't that typically the starting point?

Do you think Dan Campbel walked in as an OC?

Dan Campbell started as an intern in 2010 for the Dolphins, promoted to TE coach in 2011. In 2015 the HC, Joe Philbin, was fired and Campbell was made the interim HC, although he didn't get the job permanently.

In 2016, Sean Payton hired him as the TE coach and assistant HC. In 2021 he became the Lions HC.

I am 100% confident Jerry isn't hiring Jason Witten as a head coach to replace MM but I do see trying to convince the next coach to mentor him as an assistant coach. The problem is no young coach is going for that knowing you are training a guy to take your job. I can think of only two coaches who would probably be ok with it, McCarthy ( new contract/extension ) or Belichick. At 73, Belichick is only coaching 2-3 more years IMO.
