Could Bill Belichick become the next head coach of the Dallas Cowboys? That potential pairing would appeal to former New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman.
During this Friday’s appearance on FS1’s “The Herd,” Edelman immediately shot down the idea of Belichick agreeing to a deal with the Carolina Panthers.
Edelman then mentioned Dallas as an option for Belichick. That’s if the Cowboys get knocked out of the playoffs fairly early.
“What about Dallas? What if Mike McCarthy gets knocked out of the playoffs early? Bill over there with that Top 10 offensive line and talent … they’d at least be fundamentally sound,” Edelman said, via Cowboys Country. “McCarthy gets a lot of penalties and that clock management … in the game against the Lions the moment just looked too big.”
Belichick’s future with the Patriots remains unclear at this time. Ben Volin of The Boston Globe reported that it could take “several weeks” for New England to make a decision.
“Don’t expect a swift resolution on the NFL’s ‘Black Monday,’ or the days after,” Volin wrote. “Moving on from a legendary coach, as many inside the league expect to happen, is a delicate dance for Kraft. The expectation is that Kraft and Belichick will have multiple discussions over the next several weeks before any decision is set in stone.”
If Belichick and the Patriots agree to go their separate ways, there should be a market for him.
