However, the NFL Hall of Famer does believe that the team orientation of the Cowboys needs to be changed. Especially after the Cowboys got devastated by the Packers after a loss of 48-32. After sharing thoughts about the Patriots’ former head coach, he also shared his opinions about Dak Prescott’s prospects in the team’s gameplay. He supported Dak and also said that he has a lot of unexplored potential.
Bill Belichick has opted for free agency and has no intent to retire anytime soon. But his immediate future team is still not vivid. It might either be with the Falcons, the Chargers or the Seattle Seahawks. Some other surprises might also unfold for Bill Belichick.
What are the future prospects of the former Patriot’s head coach Bill Belichick?
Bill Belichick has mentioned that he plans not to retire anytime soon. He might be interested in coaching a smaller-market team this time. To beat the record of the Hall of Famer Don Shula’s all-time record (347) Bill would need an addition of 15 wins. Dallas was a more appealing team for him as they could provide him with lucrative financial enticements.
Atlanta Falcons might be a team that would be well-suited for Bill Belichick. This was their third consecutive 7-10 season. Philadelphia also might contest for him. The Eagles have been removed for one season from the Super Bowl run. These associations would be absolutely intriguing to witness. However, the Falcons have a greater probability as a second interview between the sides is said to have finished.
When was the last time that the Cowboys won the Super Bowl ?
The Cowboys got blasted by the Packers and was one of the poorest performances on the Cowboys’ end. Their head coach Mike McCarthy was unable to fructify the team’s efforts into a win. The Cowboys were unable to keep up with the expectations in the last playoff also. Their former head coach Jimmy Johnson has also not set a bar to rant about his former team’s performance.
This season Dak Prescott has been on the receiving end. His form has been relegated and the player has been subjected to massive criticism. It was expected that Jones would make amends in the coaching practices by impeaching McCarthy. Eventually, the Cowboys decided to pursue him to prevent any further chaos in the team. This decision is anticipated to not forgo well for the Cowboys.
