Jason Witten’s checklist of supporters may be very rapidly rising.
Former Dallas Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Ware spoke this week to Andy Nesbitt of Sports Illustrated. Through the interview, Ware endorsed the ex-Cowboys tight finish Witten to be the workforce’s subsequent head coach.
“I believe he would do properly within the locker room,” mentioned Ware of Witten. “Regardless that he doesn’t have whole NFL expertise, he’s been teaching highschool soccer for some time and you’ll at all times herald NFL [assistants].
“The pinnacle coach is the motivator,” Ware added. “The pinnacle coach is the one which organizes issues the appropriate approach, and I believe he’d carry within the outdated approach. Not the brand new faculty approach. We want self-discipline. We want 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 into the workforce’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 (not like Witten), so it’s anybody’s guess what the workforce decides to do at this level.
