Jerry Jones Endorses Witten for NFL Head Coach

Former Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten, now coaching high school football at Argyle Liberty Christian, is being touted by Cowboys owner Jerry Jones as a potential NFL head coach. Jones, during a radio appearance, compared Witten to Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell, emphasizing Witten's understanding of football's physical and mental demands and his extraordinary work ethic. Jones believes Witten's NFL experience, which includes 16 seasons with the Cowboys and one with the Raiders, positions him well for coaching success beyond the high school level. With the Cowboys struggling under current head coach Mike McCarthy, who is in the final year of his contract, there is speculation that Witten could be considered for a coaching role with the Cowboys. Witten's recent success includes leading Argyle Liberty Christian to a state championship, further highlighting his coaching potential. This endorsement by Jones adds to the narrative that Witten could follow in Campbell's footsteps, transitioning from a player to a successful NFL head coach.
