Recently, Cowboys legend DeMarcus Ware sat down with Rich Eisen on the 'Rich Eisen Show' to discuss the Dallas head coach opening.

Ware believes that there is one candidate that can change the culture in Dallas. That candidate is former star tight end Jason Witten.

Ware, like many others in the fanbase, believes that this franchise needs to be rebuilt from the ground up.

The former Cowboys defensive end talks about a culture shift similar to what Dan Campbell did for the Detroit Lions.

There's no question that this team needs a culture change. For far too long, it has felt like everyone is walking around on pins and needles in fear of ruffling Jerry Jones' feathers.

However, in order for this franchise to ever become a Super Bowl threat again, they need a head coach who isn't afraid to upset the establishment.

Is Witten that person?
