Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones surprised many this week by expressing his confidence in working with Bill Belichick, fueling speculation about a potential future pairing. While Jones reaffirmed his commitment to current head coach Mike McCarthy for the 2024 season, his praise for Belichick left some wondering if 2025 could hold a different story.
This comes after the Cowboys’ disappointing playoff loss, despite a strong regular season. Though Jones renewed his faith in McCarthy, stating he didn’t interview other coaches, his admiration for Belichick raised eyebrows.
Former Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb criticized Jones’ comments, arguing they lacked full support for both McCarthy and quarterback Dak Prescott. McNabb believes such remarks undermine team leadership and confidence.
