For those of you that don't like to click, here is what he said about Witten:

“So here’s the thing. So Witt needs to understand... If he’s going to get into coaching, he needs to start as a grunt. You’ve got to kind of start... I think he thinks that he knows everything that goes on in the coaching world. He’s got to start literally as almost a quality control guy, work your way up. Cause then he’s going to do himself a disservice if he doesn’t. So he needs to really kind of learn from the very bottom rung and walk up that latter and I think he eventually he can be a head coach, yea.”

You don’t just anoint someone as a head coach ala Jason Garrett

His point is spot on too, Witten would be a better coach in the end for working his way up. Then he will truly understand what everyone's job on the staff is.

Honestly, I would prefer a direct break from Witten.

Thanks for the memories, but it sounds like he feels entitled. Just because Garrett hopped and skipped his way does not mean he should follow the same broken model.

Yes, it's time to go.

I do wish he would go learn the coaching ropes from the ground up.

There's no reason to believe that he's not smart enough to make it, but if he's just handed the keys the way Garrett was, it would surely be a fail.

Be humble and work for several organizations at several different positions.

5 -10 years down the road, if he's put his time in and worked with different HCs and proved his worth as a legitimate OC, I would like to see him as Dallas HC one day.

No thanks.

 

[mcnuttz]

No thanks.

You no context revealing bastid.

 

[Angrymesscan]

I trust McCarthy that if Witten comes back he’ll use him as a blocking specialist/backup, not as TE1.

Legendary Dallas Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson had some harsh words about Jason Garrett’s performance as a head coach last season.

The two-time Super Bowl winner said he was surprised that the Cowboys didn’t achieve more under Garrett last season, according to The Dallas Morning News.

“I don’t know why it didn’t go better,” Johnson told the newspaper. “I watched them play a lot of times and they looked as good as anyone in the league. And they are very talented. But then I’d see some adversity happen and they just went blasé.”

Johnson — who recently found out he is part of the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s 2020 class — also said the Cowboys lacked an “inner drive” to battle against adversity and make plays.

Geezuz, so a reporter can sway the GM's choice in coaches?

feels like jeri is completely oblivious to this concept until someone talks him into acting in line with this philosophy

plus wtf does Witten know about winning? go work for a winner and come back and see us in a decade

Witten is lost, I think. All he's ever known is football. He sucks at TV. His career is over. OK, now what? Coach I guess.

I like Witten, but he's never struck me as bright enough to be a coach. Romo? Sure.

 

[ravidubey]

Romo? Sure.

And smart as Romo is, he’s just too much of a nice guy/goofball to coach NFL athletes.

Witten also lacks the hardness to call someone out as Barbie Carpenter.

That's not at all true.

Dak was just telling a story on the dan patrick show about his first OTAs. Witten literally called Dak out for being off target. Dak said it wasn't that bad of a throw but not good enough for the pros. He said Witten was tough on him (in a good way).

Say what you want about Witten but it's very false to say he won't call guys out.

From the article:

"You want to attack people different ways, the importance of making sure the run game and the actions that go off of it, that those all complement and they're tied together," Moore said. "I think that's the biggest thing."

Despite the improvement that we saw from the offense from 2018 to 2019, I thought this was an area that the previous coaching staff struggled with. IMO, they didn't do nearly enough to play off the run action.

This is exactly what I was thinking as well. I can't help but think that this is just another case of someone being a product of the environment in which they were raised. For 16 years Witten has watched how the Joneses run their business. Now it appears that he believes it's his turn to receive the free handout.
