Jason Witten made it clear Monday he's in no hurry to leave the Dallas Cowboys for a college coaching career, denying a report that he's expressed interest in Tennessee's head coaching vacancy.
The former Volunteers tight end looks to be slowing down in his 15th NFL season, but apparently still feels like he has more games in him.
"Coaching is something I can see myself down the road, having one of those opportunities, but right now I'm all in with this team and my feet are planted firmly here and this opportunity that I have in 2017 and getting it right this week," Witten said Monday, according to ESPN's Todd Archer. "And not only that, but I really love this team we have and what we're trying to build and get it right, right now and for beyond, for the future.
"So I feel too good to think that I'd consider something like that at this point."
Tennessee is still searching for Butch Jones' replacement after backing out of hiring Greg Schiano on Sunday due to fan backlash.
