Less than a week after announcing his plans to retire from the NFL, Liberty Christian High School (Texas) has named former NFL tight end Jason Witten as its new head football coach.
"Jason, former Dallas Cowboy tight end and long-time Liberty parent will be joining the Liberty Christian coaching staff as Head Football Coach," the school said in a tweet. "It’s a great day to be a Warrior!"
On January 27, Witten told ESPN that he would retire NFL for a second time, ending a 17-year career. Witten plans to sign a one-day contract and retire as a member of the Dallas Cowboys in March when his contract with the Raiders expires.
