Jason Witten declines to comment on the Cowboys head coaching opening

Former Cowboys tight end Jason Witten could land a job on the team’s coaching staff in 2025. The question is: Will he be the head coach?

Witten declined comment Wednesday when asked if his name was in the running for the team’s vacant spot, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Harris said Witten acknowledged “intrigue” with the Cowboys’ coaching situation.

Witten’s only coaching experience was as a high school coach at a private school in suburban Fort Worth. He led Liberty Christian School in Argyle to back-to-back state championships.

Jason Garrett is the only former Cowboys player to coach the Cowboys, but owner Jerry Jones’ other seven head coaches either had prior head coaching experience and/or had ties to Jones.
