On his weekly appearance on 105.3 The Fan, Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones was asked about former player and current high school head coach Jason Witten and if he thought the future Hall of Famer could be a head coach in the NFL one day. Jones answered with unwavering confidence. “Yes, without hesitation,” Jones said. “Yes. He has something that you can’t draw up. He reminds me a lot of our other tight end who is head coach up there in Detroit right now [Dan Campbell].”

Currently the head coach at Liberty Christian High School in Argyle, Witten led the Eagles to an undefeated season and state championship in 2023. He has amassed a 36-11 record in his four seasons with the school and heads into the 2024 TAPPS playoffs with a 9-1 record and one of the favorites to win the state crown once again.
