Cowboys favored to land legendary head coach for 2025 NFL season

If the Dallas Cowboys happen to be in the coaching market next season, the odds of landing a future Hall of Fame head coach are high.

The Dallas Cowboys haven't even started the 2024 regular season, and some are already looking ahead to next year despite the team's lofty goals this season.

As owner Jerry Jones has repeatedly stated, everyone is all-in for this season.

But what if this season doesn't go the way the organization and fans hope? One has to believe that changes will be made to the coaching staff, right?

Well, if there is a change, one of the greatest sideline generals of all time could rule Dallas's sidelines,

Bill Belichick will cast a shadow over the NFL throughout the season.

He’ll have a ghost-like presence in many buildings, specifically among those franchises with coaches under pressure to win now, writes @jeffphowe.

Jeff Howe of The Athletic believes the connection between Bill Belichick and the Cowboys is a no-brainer. Howe would be correct in assuming that Jones always wants the best of the best when it comes to the Cowboys, and Belichick's resume easily makes him the best in every category when it comes to being a head coach.

Now, before dreams of Belichick joining the franchise come to fruition, let's not write off current head coach Mike McCarthy.

McCarthy has led the team to three straight 12-win seasons. However, it is the postseason success that Jones and the Cowboys faithful are really looking for.

A trip to the NFC Championship could be enough for McCarthy to save his job.
