Charlie Tutan Waters (born September 10, 1948 in Miami, Florida) was a safety for the Dallas Cowboys from 1970-1981 in the National Football League. He is a radio broadcaster for the Dallas Cowboys radio network with Brad Sham, replacing Babe Laufenberg.
[edit] NFL playing career
As a player he was paired with Cliff Harris and became one of the most feared safety tandems in the NFL at that time. Charlie played in 5 Super Bowls: V, VI, X, XII, and XIII, with victories in VI and XII. In 1979, he suffered a season-ending knee injury. Since he couldn't play that year, he became a color broadcaster for the Dallas Cowboys radio network for a season.
[edit] After retirement
After two losses in NFC championship games against Philadelphia and San Francisco, Waters retired and became an NFL and college football coach. He was the defensive coordinator for the Denver Broncos in 1989 and then for the Oregon Ducks. Waters then went into a gas and electric business with his former teammate Cliff Harris. In 2006, the Dallas Cowboys hired Waters as the new color broadcaster for the Cowboys when former color broadcaster and Dallas quarterback Babe Laufenberg resigned his post to spend time with his family. Waters later immigrated to the United Kingdom, and he currently lives with his family in Barkingside, Essex.
