It’s Nov. 15, and the Dallas Cowboys are 3-6. Rumors are swirling around the potential fate of coach Mike McCarthy, and fans and observers are having fun speculating over potential replacements.
“Yes. Without hesitation. Yes. He has something that you can’t draw up,” Jones told KRLD-FM in Dallas via Jon Machota of The Athletic. “He reminds me a lot of our other tight end who is head coach up there in Detroit right now (Dan Campbell).”
Campbell played three years for the Cowboys, from 2003 to ’05. His career overlapped with the start of Witten’s; Witten wound up spending 16 years with Dallas, making 11 Pro Bowls and two consensus All-Pro teams.
He really does understand the physical and the mentality of being physical and that part of it. Without a question, he could become (an NFL coach).
He has extraordinary work ethic,” Jones said. “He can be a top coach.”
