While it seems that Bill Belichick might not be part of the current hiring cycle, there’s a potential opportunity with a reputable organization in 2025.
The Dallas Cowboys’ head coach, Mike McCarthy, is entering the final year of his contract, and with a modest playoff record in his initial four seasons, there’s intense scrutiny on his performance this season. The question arises: could Belichick be the successor to McCarthy in Dallas?
One significant challenge could be the dynamic between Belichick, who had complete control over the roster during his last two decades in New England, and Jerry Jones, the influential figure overseeing personnel decisions in Dallas and known for seeking the spotlight. However, in a conversation with Jori Epstein at the Senior Bowl, Jones expressed strong confidence that he and Belichick could work harmoniously.
Jones stated to Yahoo Sports, “I know him personally and I like him. There’s no doubt in my mind we could work together. None. None.”
The possibility of Jones and Belichick forming a partnership raises the question: could they collaborate at some point?
Jones shared his thoughts, saying, “We all know that he’s certainly excellent, maybe at the top of his profession. To say that any one person automatically assures you a Super Bowl is ridiculous. That’s too high [an] expectation for him. But is he maybe the greatest pro football coach of all time? Could very well be. He is a friend, and I like him, and I want to make real clear: I wouldn’t have any problem working with him.”
It’s worth noting that Belichick has publicly praised Jones and his son, Stephen, as well. Before a visit to the Cowboys in Dallas during the season, Belichick spoke highly of their organization, expressing respect for their decades of success, their scouting staff, and their consistent and well-managed approach to personnel.
