Could the Dallas Cowboys become potential suitors for an unemployed Bill Belichick this offseason? We’ve never given the idea much credence until recently … and now we’re back to not giving it much credence. That idea was first floated by Pro Football Hall of Fame voter and best-selling author Gary Meyers. However, following a conversation with a source, Meyers returned Wednesday and essentially closed the door on his own report. “He shot down my theory of Belichick to the Cowboys,” Meyers said in a long tweet Wednesday explaining what a source told him about why the Los Angeles Chargers are a more likely option for Belichick rather than the Cowboys. “He had an interesting reason why [Bill] Parcells would not push Belichick to Dallas: He said Belichick already won the Super Bowl (six of them) in New England, where Parcells didn’t win any in his four seasons with the Patriots.
On the surface, the reasoning seems sound. Due to Belichick and Parcells’ close relationship, it would make sense that he might want to protect his mentor’s legacy
However, as our own Mike Fisher has also recently reported if Belichick wants the same powers he had in New England – which is being the de facto general manager – Dallas doesn’t seem like the perfect fit. Owner Jerry Jones currently carries that title and has since purchasing the franchise in 1989. While those dots don’t connect, some maybe do, like the increasing age and desire of both Belichick and Jones to win another Super Bowl.
