The aftermath of the Dallas Cowboys’ 48-32 loss to the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card round has sparked speculation about the team’s potential pursuit of Bill Belichick.
Even before the game, NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport had indicated that Belichick was assessing the playoff outcomes before making decisions about his future. As the Cowboys unexpectedly faced a blowout loss, discussions about a possible run at Belichick gained momentum.
Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz reported that an NFL executive anticipated the Cowboys targeting Belichick if they failed against the Packers.
Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio echoed this sentiment, suggesting that the Cowboys might explore Belichick as an option if they decide to part ways with Mike McCarthy, who has one year remaining on his contract.

While Jerry Jones has a history of being impulsive, having retained Jason Garrett for nine seasons despite ongoing speculation about his future, the presence of Belichick as a potential option adds a compelling dimension.
Despite McCarthy’s three consecutive 12-5 seasons, the availability of a coaching giant like Belichick is expected to prompt Jones to carefully consider his options.
