Jerry on Jason Witten's potential as an NFL Coach

[Risen Star]

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones when asked on @1053thefan if he thinks former Cowboys TE Jason Witten could one day be an NFL coach: "Yes. Without hesitation. Yes. He has something that you can't draw up. He reminds me a lot of our other tight end who is head coach up there in Detroit right now (Dan Campbell).

"Jason is very sophisticated when it comes to understanding football and all the nuances. But more important than anything, he really does understand the physical and the mentality of being physical and that part of it. Without a question, he could become (an NFL coach). He has extraordinary work ethic. ... He can be a top coach."

LOL this would be comic gold if Witten was the hire. I'm not saying he can't be a HC in the NFL but it would be typical of Jerry to hire a guy with zero experience at the NFL level because he's an ex-cowboy. Let's go out and get a HS coach and beat everyone to the punch.

No…not here to start atleast

Here we go again.......Stop!

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Oh no.

I dont doubt Witten could be an NFL coach at some point, but I'd also like to see him actually work as an NFL position coach before getting that opportunity. Hiring a guy straight out of the high school level would more laughable than Jason Witten trying to call games on monday night football.

The fact he’s trying to take credit for Dan Campbell because he was a fringe roster blocking tight end here for a couple seasons really just shows the depth of his delusion.

I called this nonsense weeks ago. You better believe he is firmly in the mix this offseason.

I actually wouldn't mind him as an OC under someone like Aaron Glenn or Vrabel. I would be curious to see how he calls plays, especially since we know he and Dak have worked together in previous seasons.

Jerry goin for the flavor of the week YET AGAIN!

 

[DoctorChicken]

There it is.

Jim Irsay... Let's hire Jeff Saturday! Jerry Jones... Oh, yeah? Hold my beer.

 

[big dog cowboy]

I agree with Jerry. He could be a coach in the NFL.

He would make a good TE coach and maybe even a good OC.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Why do yall even ask him anything like this? Who is Jerry to even ask him a question like this?

 

[fivetwos]

First, Witten and Campbell don’t seem to be anything alike at all. Not even close in fact. They were once teammates, and I’d wager they would both agree.

If they didn’t play the same position this absurd comparison wouldn’t be raised in the first place.

What’s Jerry supposed to say?

 

[jwitten82]

It would be a stupid move so expect it to happen. They did it with Kellen Moore

Monkey see monkey do

That's what I'm saying.

https://www.nfl.com/news/11-time-co...tian is a kindergarten,26-10 in three seasons.

Plus, he's guided his high school team to a 26-10 record since 2021 when he took over. That's a solid record. I think he's doing something right, and I'd be curious to see him as an OC. I think he would be good at that. Heck, I said Aaron Glenn or Vrabel, but him as the OC under Ben Johnson would be cool. I think he could be a good OC to start with.

Witten doesn't have that leadership quality that Campbell has
