Legendary NFL coach Bill Belichick could be a potential coaching candidate for the Dallas Cowboys next season, as the team is struggling under head coach Mike McCarthy. However, former NFL wide receiver and current ESPN analyst Andrew Hawkins believes that Belichick should steer clear of Dallas due to owner Jerry Jones’ influence in football operations. Hawkins compared Jones to a circus ringmaster, stating, “If you put a king in the circus, the circus doesn’t look like a palace. The king looks like a clown.”
Belichick, known for his successful tenure with the New England Patriots, has experience not only coaching but also managing football operations. Jones, on the other hand, has a history of being heavily involved in personnel decisions for the Cowboys. Belichick’s failed pursuit of the Atlanta Falcons’ head-coaching position earlier this year shed light on his desire for full control of football operations, which may clash with Jones’ management style.
While a move to Dallas could potentially help Belichick surpass Don Shula for the most head-coaching wins in NFL history, it remains uncertain if both parties would be willing to make concessions regarding power dynamics. As Dallas looks to turn its season around and potentially seek a new head coach, the possibility of Belichick joining the Cowboys adds an intriguing element to the upcoming NFL offseason coaching carousel.
