Bill Belichick Jilted the Cowboys for “Media” Reasons

This week, the Dallas Cowboys and club owner Jerry Jones made the decision

to dash the aspirations of the team’s supporters worldwide by hiring coach Mike McCarthy back,

in spite of the coach’s dismal 1-3 playoff record in Dallas and the team’s devastating loss

to the Packers in the postseason opener.

However, Jones may not have made the final decision.

Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reports that the Cowboys

attempted to inquire about famous coach Bill Belichick’s interest in taking over in Dallas,

but were turned down.

It appears that Belichick is coming closer to making his way to Atlanta.

It was reported that the Eagles and Cowboys were thwarted in their attempts to sign Belichick, causing the Eagles to retain Nick Sirianni and the Cowboys to remain with McCarthy. Oddly enough, Florio mentions Belichick’s desire to leave big media markets as one of the reasons.

Florio stated this week, “According to a league source, Belichick is thought to be done with ‘big-market media,’ making him more inclined to go to a place like Atlanta than Dallas or Philadelphia.”

“There is also a belief in certain league circles regarding the Cowboys and the Eagles that both teams showed interest in Belichick, that Belichick did not return the favour, and that those teams chose to remain with their current coaches.”
