Bill Belichick didn't win big with the New England Patriots without Tom Brady. Last year, Belichick barely won at all.
But he still believes he's highly valued, and he is highly likely correct. Per ESPN, Belichick has potential interest in coaching the New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys, and Philadelphia Eagles — and each scenario certainly stirs up intrigue, especially given the critical juncture these teams are facing in the 2024 season.
For the Giants, entering the pivotal third year under Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen, the decision on whether to select a quarterback in the upcoming draft could significantly shape the franchise's trajectory. Belichick's ties to the Giants organization from his time as a defensive coordinator further add to that narrative.
In Dallas, the enduring friendship between Belichick and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, coupled with the win-now roster, makes for a compelling possibility. Mike McCarthy's future with the Cowboys is tied to the team's performance this season, making it possible for a potential coaching change.
"I don't think Bill Belichick will ever be a head coach again in the National Football League," a friend told ESPN. "Unless it's [for] Jerry Jones."
Similarly, in Philadelphia, the Eagles' recent success under Nick Sirianni contrasts sharply with their late-season collapse last year. While the Eagles ultimately decided to retain Sirianni, the reported interest from Jeff Lurie and Howie Roseman in Belichick suggests a willingness to consider changes if the opportunity arises.
While the Cowboys may seem like the most plausible landing spot given Belichick's relationship with Jerry Jones and the team's win-now mentality, the Giants and Eagles remain intriguing options for the seasoned coach due to their respective circumstances and his connections within the organizations.
"You'll have to start over again," a source told ESPN. "Who would replace him? He hasn't had a good record of developing coaches. They were afraid that he'll have changed everything and every person, and [then] you'll be starting from scratch again. He didn't demand those changes, but they felt like, if we hire him, we have to give everything to him and trust how he does it."
