NFL insider: Bill Belichick ‘would have been interested’ in Dallas Cowboys head coaching job

The Dallas Cowboys were too little, too late with their coaching decision and, with that, apparently cost themselves who would have been a leading candidate.

Per Jordan Schultz at FOX Sports, Bill Belichick and the Cowboys would have had mutual interest in him coming to coach there with America’s Team. Instead, with no indication that Mike McCarthy would be moving on from the franchise, he looked elsewhere and, since then, became the head coach at North Carolina.

“FWIW: Bill Belichick would have been interested in the Cowboys’ job, and it’s believed that Dallas would have been interested in him, had he known the position would become available. Belichick and his camp never received any indication during backchannel conversations that the job would open up, which is partly why he ended up at UNC,” Schultz tweeted on Monday. “Belichick has an excellent relationship with the Jones family.”

This comes after McCarthy and the Cowboys did not agree on a new deal with him becoming a free agent as of this morning.

Dallas is now left to consider several of the other names that have already been mentioned for other teams during this coaching carousel in the NFL.
