As speculation swirls, fans wonder who Jerry Jones will hire to lead the Cowboys
Dallas: So, the Cowboys are on the hunt for a new head coach, right? For a while, it seemed like Mike McCarthy might stick around, but things have changed. Jerry Jones, the owner, has been hinting at a fresh start.
Last week, they didn’t let McCarthy chat with the Bears, which made it seem like they were trying to keep him. But now, it looks like they just couldn’t agree on a contract. McCarthy wanted more security, while Jones was thinking short-term. They hit a wall, and now it’s time to move on.
What’s next for Jerry? Well, it’s not out of the question that McCarthy could return if he doesn’t get offers from other teams. Players like Dak Prescott want some stability, so if McCarthy is open to a short deal, who knows?
But if not McCarthy, who’s on Jerry’s radar? He could go for a coordinator with no head coaching experience, a fired coach, or even a college coach. There’s buzz around Ben Johnson, the Lions’ offensive coordinator, and Kellen Moore, who has history with the Cowboys.
Then there’s Bill Belichick. He’s been eyeing a return to coaching and has had nice things to say about the Jones family. Plus, he’s got that record to chase. But he’s also got a hefty buyout from North Carolina, so who knows how that’ll play out?
And let’s not forget about Jon Gruden. Sure, he’s got his own legal mess, but Jerry might think he can navigate that. It’s all about who can bring the most excitement to the team.
There’s even talk about Texas coach Steve Sarkisian. It’s just a rumor, but it’s interesting to consider as they start their search.
Jerry might also look to trade for a coach from another team, but that could mean giving up some draft picks. It’s a big decision, and whoever takes the job will have to deal with Jerry being the face of the team. He loves being in the spotlight, and the new coach will have to get used to that.
In the end, the Cowboys are just looking for their next leader. They’ve got one thing on their shopping list: a coach. Whatever happens, you can bet it’ll be a big deal.
