The most unexpected things happen in the NFL! Jerry Jones’ Dallas Cowboys met with a brutal end to their Super Bowl dreams. The game was unevenly tilted in the Cowboys’ favor. After all, they were 12-5, while the Green Bay Packers were 9-8. However, it just takes one game to upset an entire year’s worth of hard work.
The Packers defeated them 48-32. And one of the best teams in the league crashed out of the playoffs. Who will Jerry Jones want to scapegoat for this loss? It seems that he already has an answer. Should Mike McCarthy start sending out his resumes for a new job?

Team owners aren’t mandated to speak with the media. But Jerry Jones is not one to shy away from the media’s questions. And he did not break away from tradition this year either. Reporters wanted to know just one thing. Will he fire McCarthy? Put on the stand, he said that he wouldn’t go that far. But now, @nflrums has reported a new development!

It’s likely that the axe will come for McCarthy’s head. After all, he was really disappointed after the Packers defeat. He called it “one of the biggest surprises“. And as if that wasn’t enough, he was “floored” by the blowout loss. But if McCarthy is to be shown the door, who will replace him? And it seems like Jones had it all planned beforehand. 29 years ago, to be exact.
Will Bill Belichick join the Cowboys?
And it looks like the Cowboys fanbase got an inkling of it beforehand. After the humiliation, X was flooded with one name. “Bill Belichick”. Cowboys fans want the “most successful coach in football history” to coach their team. And Jones happens to want the same as well. And Belichick’s name isn’t being thrown around randomly. The two have history.
When did Jones meet the celebrated coach for the first time? Way back in 1995. At a ski resort in Canada. That was 29 years ago. And Belichick wasn’t the shining star he is now, back then. He didn’t even have a single Super Bowl win to boast of. This was before he joined the New England Patriots. At the time, he was looking for a job. And what did Bill tell Jones? “I can coach if you ever get an opportunity, don’t forget about me.”

Jones said that he had thought about that many times. Too bad, the Pats got to him first. But now, him being out of the Pats in 2024, will Jones finally take him up on the offer he made almost 30 years ago?
