Why was Former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick seen in Dallas?
On Monday Night Countdown, ESPN insider Adam Schefter said former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick was seen in Dallas ahead of the Cowboys Monday Night football game versus the Houston Texans.
Schefter said Belichick was in Dallas for a prior speaking engagement, but betting markets have pegged the Super Bowl-winning head coach as one the top options to replace current head coach Mike McCarthy should he leave at the end of this season.
According to Bet Online, the former Patriots head coach has the third-best odds (+600) behind Ben Johnson (+500) and Mike Vrabel (+300)
McCarthy is in the final year of a five-year deal he signed with the Cowboys in January of 2020
Schefter said teams around the league expect Belichick to be one of the leading candidates for the Cowboys job should it open.
Belichick last coached for the Patriots during the 2023 season and he and the organization agreed to part ways following the year’s end. He coached New England from 2000-2023, winning an NFL record six Super Bowls while adding three AP NFL Coach of the Year awards.
Belichick spent Monday night watching the Cowboys play, providing commentary as he joined Peyton and Eli Manning during the first half of ESPN’s Manning Cast show.
