The former Cowboys head coach also offered some words of advice to the next person stepping into the position.

According to a report, former star tight end Jason Witten is a favorite to take over as the next Dallas Cowboys' head coach.

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.

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?

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

The Cowboys unique environment in Dallas makes them prefer coaching candidates who know the team, says @ReidDHanson.

The Dallas Cowboys coaching search started on Monday with Deion Sanders, Jason Witten and Kellen Moore immediately popping up in NFL rumors as options to replace Mike McCarthy. Now, a far bigger name seems to be emerging on the Cowboys’ radar.

As the search continues for a new head coach, the Dallas Cowboys are reportedly 'intrigued' by one of the hottest candidates on the market.
