You know that feeling when the play clock’s winding down, and you’re yelling at the QB to snap the ball? That’s exactly where Cowboys Nation is—72 hours deep into the Mike McCarthy firing, and the tension’s palpable. What’s happened since? One speculation after another… The most notable one? About the Deion Sanders effect. Could Coach Prime bring his swagger and star power to Big D? When money’s involved, you know Jerry Jones isn’t far behind. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. That’s just a hearsay.

So, what is really happening?!

The latest one, and maybe the more solid one? NFL insider Ian Rapoport reports the Cowboys have officially requested an interview with Eagles OC Kellen Moore for the head coach role. Moore’s an interesting choice, especially considering the Cowboys’ less-than-stellar 7-10 season.

Let’s not sugarcoat it—this team has struggled, despite having Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb, a duo that, on paper, should terrify defenses. Instead, they’ve been more fizzle than sizzle on the field. Translation: For the money put into them, they STANK!

Speaking of stats, Lamb’s 101 receptions for 1,194 yards and 6 touchdowns sound solid—until you realize those numbers barely cracked the top 10. And Dak? His injury-shortened season left him with just 1,978 passing yards and a 45.5 QBR. When your franchise QB is ranking 31st in passing yards, especially the one you made the highest-earning QB in the league. And for this? Hell, naah!

So, we get the Kellen Moore links… Totally understandable. From backup quarterback (2015-17) to Cowboys’ quarterbacks coach, and later offensive coordinator, he’s climbed the ranks. Sure, his play-calling got some heat from fans. But let’s not forget—his offense was electric. Plus, he’s got a history with Prescott.

On the rumors he did not give a very clear stance, rather left it for anyone to guess. “I spent a lot of time there, eight years there, so [I] have plenty of relationships in that place… Right now, getting the chance to play this Sunday [divisional round game with the Eagles], that’s really all you worry about. Everything else is what it is, and we’ll see where it takes you.” Hmm… Interesting.

But hold up, Moore isn’t the only one in the mix. Enter Robert Saleh, former Jets head coach. Known for his defensive grit, he’s already winning fan polls. Why? The Cowboys’ defense is stacked, and fans believe Saleh could whip up a masterpiece with this roster.

However, so far, as we all know these are nothing but whispers… One thing is certain right now: Jerry Jones pulling out a wildcard and calling it a best shot. And don’t mind if Bill Belichick comes out to be that ONE! (Well, nothing to mind there, right?)

Bill Belichick and Jerry Jones: Dallas doesn’t need that right now!

So, here’s the latest: Bill Belichick’s unsigned contract at North Carolina has stirred up the rumor mill. Industry whispers say this creates a potential legal gray area for any NFL team ready to swoop in. And with the Cowboys’ head coaching position wide open? Yeah, you already know where this is going.

Let’s not deny it—Belichick’s credentials are enough to make any franchise drool. A dynasty with six Super Bowl rings and a legacy of overall wins record second only to Shula. But the two biggest ‘IFs’: age and attitude. The Patriots let him go not just because of their 4-13 nightmare season, but because Big Bill (72) seemed allergic to adapting. Modern offenses? Not his thing.

Now throw Jerry Jones (82) into the mix. Jerry’s insistence on calling the shots—GM included—is legendary, and not in a good way. Remember his “no GM needed” stance? Yeah, that didn’t sit well with fans. So, would Belichick’s hyper-disciplined style mesh with Jerry’s larger-than-life management? Doubtful.

Sure, Jerry loves headlines, and Belichick could bring some much-needed discipline to the often-chaotic Cowboys. But let’s not ignore the $10 million buyout at UNC, which screams, “I’m keeping my options open.” If Belichick really wanted Dallas, wouldn’t he have already made his move?

Think about it: Jerry just loves making the headlines… While Belichick avoids it like a fourth-and-long gamble. Their contrasting philosophies—Jerry’s bold moves vs. Bill’s no-frills strategies—could clash harder than a playoff rivalry. Dallas doesn’t need that right now. So, let’s stick to solutions that actually fit the Cowboys’ DNA, shall we?
