Twitter: Jason Witten Wants to Coach

[charron]

Nothing wrong with starting himoff as a low level offensive assistant. Waterboy, TE assistant, quality control....just not any position group or higher.

Would be a fantastic TE coach. Nobody knows the nuances of the position better than Witten. I'd be all in on Witten as the 2020 TE coach, but first we got to get some tight ends to coach.

I like Jarwin. He's pretty good at grabbing the ducks tossed at him.

I’m curious how many hall of famers became head coaches in the nfl ? Obviously Jason witten will be but I’m just curious to see how many there have been

Dick LeBeau, Mike Singletary, Ditka...

Where did you guys get the idea Witten wanted to HC?

I only heard he wanted to coach in Dallas..

and I would assume that to mean as a TE coach or assistant OL/TE coach.

Columbo needs help as his OL regressed from last year.

And of all our positions that have been under the microscope..

OL and its problems were the most impactful given how much our identity as a team revolves around this OL.

Sanjay has his hands full and produced 2 1000 yd WRs. But TE is still not settled

Maybe what is brewing is Witten wants to be a player/coach in 2020.

So Witten would help alot IMO whatever he does.

Yes, Columbo needs help...to be shown where the door is so he can be tossed out with the rest of this outdated, inept coaching staff.

I cannot pinpoint why the OL cratered so badly in 2019.

Columbo was certainly an improvement over Alexander.

But I never thought he was the answer at OL coach. I thought in the off season they would find an OL coach and move Columbo back to assistant for more experience.

But like Moore at OC, this team seems to prefer unproven coaches over proven at times.

These two assistant coaches contributed heavily to those team areas failed in 2019.

3. I thought there was more.

How much help did he give Bennett, jarwin or schulze (sp)? Did his leadership inspire the 2019 cowboys? Let him earn his degree somewhere else first at the very least.

Right, he was notorious for not wanting to deal with what he deemed as immaturity or help up and coming players while playing. Why would he want to do so afterwards.
