Disclaimer: What I think SHOULD happen is hire a guy who will change the culture, like a Jim Harbaugh, even if it means cutting ties with Dak and being a bottom dweller for a few years.
What I think WILL happen is we hire Bill Belichick and run it back with mostly the same players.
The loss to Green Bay was an embarrassment and Jerry knows it. Nobody trusts Dallas anymore, no matter how good they look. It’ll take years to rebuild trust the right way. But there’s one fast track. Bring in a guy who people trust more than they distrust Dallas.
Belichick doesn’t want another rebuild, and at 72 years old, he knows he only has 2-3 years left. Jerry only has 2-3 years left. Dak has played well enough that he can be trusted another 2-3 years.
Why would Jerry do it? There’s only one thing he loves more than he loves control - ratings. 24/7 headlines of “can Jerry and Bill coexist?” is a gold mine. And Bill is the only guy who will make people take Dallas seriously after the debacle against Green Bay. People taking Dallas seriously equals higher ratings. Jerry will tell Bill anything he wants to hear to get him to come to Dallas.
Why would Bill do it? Bill is the only guy in football with an ego to match Jerry’s. Tom Brady came out the winner in the Brady-Belichick divorce. The same reason LeBron went to the Lakers, winning a title in Dallas has a different effect on one’s legacy. Also, Bill knows he doesn’t have much time left, so he’s more likely to tolerate some of Jerry’s ego than he would’ve been 10 years ago.
Imagine the headlines if Dallas signs Belichick and runs it back with Dak, CeeDee, Parsons. People will forget quick about how things ended in Green Bay.
