Much of the discourse around the Cowboys’ head coaching vacancy has been dominated by Deion Sanders. While it remains to be seen how willing the Colorado coach and owner Jerry Jones will be to move forward with such a hire,

Witten's success in football isn't just what he did in Dallas. As Ware mentioned, Witten is the head coach of Liberty Christian School in Argyle, Texas. Witten has led Liberty Christian to back-to-back state championships, including the school's first ever undefeated season in 2023.

Jerry Jones had high praise for Jason Witten as a coach, making him someone to watch as the Dallas Cowboys search for Mike McCarthy’s replacement.

The Dallas Cowboys and coach Mike McCarthy parting ways on Monday came as somewhat of a surprise given team owner and general manager Jerry Jones' final words about McCarthy at the conclusion of the 2024 regular season.

Like other ex-Cowboys like Deion Sanders, Aaron Glenn and Kellen Moore, Jason Witten does check a great number of Jerry Jones boxes.

Deion Sanders and Jason Witten are two of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones' former — and favorite — players, and both have been floated as potential replacements for coach Mike McCarthy. Jones and McCarthy agreed Monday to part ways after five seasons together.

With Mike McCarthy out, these names are among the ones to watch as candidates to be the next Cowboys’ head coach. Who else could be considered?

The Cowboys have been linked as a possibility for Jason Witten to take the head coaching job. But was there a role already being discussed?

Former Dallas Cowboys Pro Bowl tight end Jason Witten is reportedly emerging as a front-runner to fill the head coaching vacancy of his old team. On Monday, news broke that the Cowboys parted ways with head coach Mike McCarthy after failing to agree on a new deal.

After being selected by the Cowboys as a third-round pick out of Tennessee in 2003, Witten remained with the team until the end of the 2017 season. At that time, Witten retired briefly, joining ESPN's "Monday Night Football" crew.

The Cowboys sure do love the idea of having an ex-player as their head coach. ESPN reported Monday that the Cowboys were considering 11-time Pro Bowl tight end Jason Witten, among others, to be their next head coach after Mike McCarthy was not retained.
