Jon Kitna is the veteran voice that Cowboys need in Dak Prescott’s ear

The only outside addition that Jason Garrett is adding to next season’s Cowboys staff is former quarterback Jon Kitna, who now seems to be taking the role of quarterback’s coach. Until last week, Kitna was set to be the offensive coordinator for the San Diego Fleet, in an upstart pro league founded by Bill Polian and Charlie Ebersol.

After retiring from the NFL in 2012, Kitna immediately began as the head coach of his alma mater Lincoln High School. In three seasons, Kitna led his team to a 24-8 record with two 3A championships. He resigned in 2015 to take a job at Waxahachie High before leaving there to coach one year at a college preparatory.
