A new era is upon the Dallas Cowboys, but evidently, Jason Witten won’t be a part of it. On Friday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the Cowboys are promoting offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer to fill their opening at head coach.

The Cowboys sure do love the idea of having an ex-player as their head coach. ESPN reported Monday that the Cowboys were considering 11-time Pro Bowl tight end Jason Witten, among others, to be their next head coach after Mike McCarthy was not retained.

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?

Mike Fisher - as a newspaper beat writer and columnist and on radio and TV, where he is an Emmy winner - has covered the NFL since 1983 and the Dallas Cowboys since 1990, is the author of two best-selling books on the Cowboys.

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

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.
