McCarthy to be fired by the Cowboys, and Belichick hired.

It doesn’t surprise me in the slightest that Bill Belichick is still unemployed. Since departing the New England Patriots, the six-time Super Bowl champion hasn’t even conducted an interview with a team other than Atlanta. Moreover, Raheem Morris was just hired by the Falcons in place of him. Unexpectedly, Belichick, who was supposedly “coveted” and the target of a “bidding war,” according to his national media friends, isn’t getting many seats in the “Musical Chairs” game, along with the careless “reporting” that led to the Dallas Cowboys hiring him to take Mike McCarthy’s job.

“What happens if Mike McCarthy and the Dallas Cowboys can’t come to an agreement? In the wake of the depressing image of this legendary septuagenarian coach stumbling along dejectedly in the NFL unemployment line in a frayed sweatshirt, beggar’s tin cup in hand, my friend Rapport noted this week, “There is Bill Belichick looming.” Rap is someone I respect and who isn’t inherently “wrong.” It’s “possible” in the same way that he could one day become the head coach of one of the 32 NFL teams. And I’m grateful that he acknowledged the ridiculous fascination of it all.

Rap stated: “I’m here for it all—the amount of TV time we’re going to spend with ‘Will Belichick eventually take over for X—’Insert  Name of Coach’ is going to be epic!'”

Rap’s zeal and effort are much appreciated here. However, I feel somewhat differently: This material reflects incredibly immature guesswork. A 12-month forecast on the NFL coaches of 2025? Me? I don’t have the energy or excitement for it. To be honest, I’m already exhausted from it—a “Coaching Carousel” that’s being filled up a full year ahead of schedule? So perhaps something better than “filling TV time” with Belichick’s hiring by Jerry Jones?
