The Dallas Cowboys might have picked up a recent win over an NFC East rival in the Washington Commanders, but they still have overarching problems.
Sure, they went out and won the game, but it took a rocky special teams game and the Cowboys’ defense stepping up in a big way.
The Cowboys ended up coming away with a big 34-26 road victory over the Commanders. They advanced to 4-7 on the season with the win.
However, Dallas is still playing backup quarterback Cooper Rush with Dak Prescott sidelined with injury. They’ve still got other major roster holes and inefficiencies.
Even with the win, it would appear as if Mike McCarthy will be on his way out of the DFW after this season. His tenure with the club will likely come to an end at the season’s end, and the Cowboys will look for the next head man to lead the squad.
Many have tossed around plenty of ideas. One of the most popular suggestions for the Cowboys’ potential eventual head coaching vacancy is legendary Dallas superstar Deion Sanders, who was magnificent at every level of football he played.
However, a Jason Witten rumor has started to swirl. The former tight end was a Cowboys superstar and icon. He’s another name that’s beloved in the city.
Worst Player Comebacks in Sports History – Jason Witten
Former Cowboys wide receiver and teammate of Witten, Dez Bryant, loves the move, as he made clear on social media.
“I saw a rumor about Jason Witten for the Dallas Cowboys coaching job! I love it!” Bryant shared on social media.
Witten played in Dallas for 16 years, coming away with 11 Pro Bowl nods. His coaching experience is coaching at a local high school, however, which could limit the role in which he could land with the Cowboys.
As an assistant, Witten could thrive. He could learn from a seasoned head coach and eventually take the keys to the franchise as a legend within the building.
The rumor is quite interesting, and it would help Jerry Jones capture the hearts of Cowboys fans — who are quite upset with him amid the team’s brutal season.
