Jason Witten’s listing of supporters could be very shortly rising.
Former Dallas Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Ware spoke this week to Andy Nesbitt of Sports Illustrated. In the course of the interview, Ware endorsed the ex-Cowboys tight finish Witten to be the staff’s subsequent head coach.
“I believe he would do effectively within the locker room,” stated Ware of Witten. “Though he doesn’t have complete NFL expertise, he’s been teaching highschool soccer for some time and you may at all times usher in NFL [assistants].
“The pinnacle coach is the motivator,” Ware added. “The pinnacle coach is the one which organizes issues the precise manner, and I believe he’d carry within the previous manner. Not the brand new college manner. We’d like self-discipline. We’d like integrity. And we’d like gladiators.”
Ware, now 42, performed for the Cowboys from 2005-13 and was teammates with Witten all through that span. A nine-time Professional Bowler and seven-time All-Professional, Ware was inducted into the Cowboys Ring of Honor in 2023.
In the meantime, Witten, himself an 11-time Professional Bowl who performed 16 seasons with the Cowboys, is gaining momentum to turn out to be the staff’s subsequent head coach. Former Dallas teammates have been endorsing him for the job for months, however it seems that Witten also now has the attention of Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. However the Cowboys are interviewing different candidates who’ve actual NFL head-coaching experience (in contrast to Witten), so it’s anybody’s guess what the staff decides to do at this level.
