Jason Witten should be embarrassed

I agree I'd be embarrassed taking a job I was totally unqualified for, especially one where so many people attach part of their happiness to your performance.

This is like the owner of a company forcing his do nothing son on some executive, and instructing he/she to show him the ropes....only to have him take your job some day and ultimately fail. Go make your own way in life Plow Boy....you were already handed an announcing gig with ZERO experience, and failed big time....so now you are expecting a fast track to a NFL Head Coaching gig by doing nothing other than coaching a High School Christian School??? Maybe it's just me, but if this does play out, I really would be embarrassed if I were him....have some damn pride. The transparency of this is already being talked about everywhere....and will only get worse.

Curious. Why do you call him Plow Boy?

No, I think you are the one misreading the intent. It’s just an attack on Witten for some reason, which is odd because that usually something that only Eagles fans do…

Whose intent am I misreading? The OP member? Or the member I was responding to? Or both?
 
Witten should be embarrassed by the mere thought of this. He knows it's a bad joke. Doesn't mean he won't take the $ and the job. Even though it's so far over his head he won't even be able to make a good show of it, just like he couldn't behind the mic. He'll look like the dumb country bumpkin he is. And I say that as an East TN hillbilly who grew up 30 miles from him. He'll make out ok, and of course, the Jones family will still be filthy rich. The only ones who suffer in this awful story will continue to be Cowboy fans.

As Tony Romo said in his retirement announcement, the NFL is a meritocracy. He was right, except not in Dallas. In Dallas, it's the Benny Hill Show, except instead of an older man chasing around buxom, younger women, it's a couple of rapidly aging drunks playing with a football team like it's a toy set.
 
Go ahead and tap out. You were the one picking this fight with the board.

It would certainly be an appropriate entry level position at Witten's coaching stage into the NFL. Dallas is an atypical franchise though when it comes to hiring coaches.

Get him coaching up that D-Line. Teach them the Y-Route pass rush.

You're right, I'd be embarrassed if it was you, too. As for Witten, why would he be embarrassed? If he gets the opportunity and takes it, good for him. A HC doesn't need to be an Xs and Os guy as much as he needs to be a motivator, carry a big stick, have his pulse on the psyche of the team. Many scheme smart coaches fail, because they don't have the guts that it takes to be a HC. So, yes.....I'd be embarrassed, if I was you.

Hell, I was hoping you'd get an interview.
 
C'mon.. Witten is not going to hired as HC.. completely ridiculous.

This BS has come from wannabe internet journalists for clicks.

OP.. if it sounds ludicrous it probably is.

I went from 7th grade coach to HC-AD in seven months..undefeated my second year and ranked in the top 10 in the state of Texas in year 3 and 4....I was not qualified, but I sure as hell didn't turn down the opportunity....

I do. Bear in mind I think this is probably regarded by every coach out there as the least desirable job in the league, and only for the truly desperate. Which Moore would know first hand. And I think he will have better options. Or will bank on having better options soon if he stays in his current spot which very well might include a trip to the SB. That looks pretty darn good on resume.

The owner’s son was promoted over you wasn’t he?

Not Witten’s fault, man. It’s ok. Stop projecting.

That's my guy right there.
Not advocating for Witten, but you always grab for that brass ring and GO.

lol why? I'd take that job.

Of course you would and most of us would too......... but that's b/c such a job would be a fun ride for an average Joe with amazing perks.

However, we wouldn't be looking for football respect from our coaching peers. Witten is in another boat. He needs to earn a job and coaching high school football isn't the ticket. If he was serious, he would be volunteering his time at the Star and learning at the feet of professional coaches. Then maybe if the head coach likes him, he can be an assistant TE coach......and start climbing the coaching ladder. He can't be hired as the heir apparent golden boy. Even Garret who was Jerry's last golden boy hire worked as a QB coach in Miami first.

But we’re seriously not considering Witten right? I just took all of the Witten stuff as nonsense honestly.
 
I don't want Jason Witten to be the head coach of the Cowboys but the premise of the thread is stupid.
