Former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick reportedly has his eyes on one of the top NFC clubs, should their head coaching position open up next year.
Back in January, Bill Belichick and Patriots owner Robert Kraft announced that they were parting ways after 24 seasons together. Surprisingly, Belichick was passed over by teams in the latest head coach hiring cycle, meaning he’ll be out of an NFL coaching job for the first time since 1974.
The Atlanta Falcons were the only team that interviewed Belichick for their head coaching vacancy, but they wound up hiring ex-Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris.
A bombshell report published by ESPN today claimed that Kraft slammed Belichick and told them not to hire the six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach.
That same report from the Worldwide Leader in Sports claims that Belichick informed his inner circle that he hopes the Cowboys “will consider him” if they move on from Mike McCarthy, who has one year left on his deal:
“He has told confidants he thinks he’ll get at least one interview next year. Dallas could be an option, if Jerry Jones moves on from Mike McCarthy, a lame duck in the final year of his contract. Belichick has a strong relationship with both Jerry and Stephen Jones, dating back years. On the other hand, Jerry Jones has been close with a lot of excellent head coaches whom he has never hired.
Belichick has told confidants that he hopes if a team in the Northeast has an opening, it will consider him. That way, key former assistants who live in the region, such as Patricia and McDaniels, will be able to join him with minimal family disruption. But in the end, if he works, or where, or how much power he is granted, won’t be up to Belichick.”

Many fans called for the Cowboys to fire McCarthy after they endured yet another early playoff exit, this time a 48-32 loss to the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card Round. Perhaps Jerry Jones will finally make a change at HC in 2025, however, if the Cowboys once again fail to go on a deep postseason run.
Bill Belichick Is What The Cowboys Need
The Cowboys field one of football’s most talented rosters every year, but they never seem prepared for the big game. That’s usually a coaching problem.
Bill Belichick is the greatest coach in NFL history, with eight Super Bowl rings (he won two as an assistant with the New York Giants) on his resume. Belichick’s defensive genius, no-nonsense approach and tight ship would actually be ideal for a Cowboys team that plays too loosely under McCarthy.
The Cowboys are giving it one last go with McCarthy despite an ugly 1-3 playoff record under his watch. If they can’t at least reach the NFC title game last year, Jerry Jones has to move on and consider bringing in Belichick.
