Tight end Jason Witten chuckled when asked about a report that he had expressed interest in the head coaching job at the University of Tennessee and would walk away from the Dallas Cowboys right now to take over at his alma mater.
Witten made it clear he will be on the field when the Cowboys take on the Washington Redskins Thursday night and possibly for a few years to come, despite his age.
“For me, certainly, coaching is something I can see myself down the road having one of those opportunities,” Witten said Monday afternoon.
