NOV 24 DEL RIO FIRED After yet another embarrassing performance by the Commanders defense - this time to division rival Dallas - Washington has fired its defensive coordinator, Jack Del Rio according to multiple reports.

The Commanders just suffered an embarrassing 45-10 loss to the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day. Washington has also fired its defensive back coach Brent Vieselmeyer. Del Rio was in his fourth season as the DC in Washington and has faced criticism throughout much of his tenure.

Head coach Ron Rivera has always backed Del Rio, but now, with Rivera's own job on the line, decided to make the move. Rivera, who is also a defensive coach, will likely handle the defensive playcalling moving forward.

Del Rio played for the Cowboys from 1989-1991 and served previously as the head coach of the Raiders for three seasons and head coach of the Jaguars for nine.

This is the other crossroad question in the background of what was predicted as a make or break season for Dallas:

Could Bill Belichick join this NFC East team?​

We’ve written quite a bit lately on the struggles of the Patriots and the possibility of the franchise and head coach Bill Belichick parting ways. We’ve even explored quite a few options to take up the reigns in New England, should that change take place. But what about the future of Belichick?

In the lengthy FMIA published by Peter King of NBC Sports on a weekly basis, King floated a couple of ideas of where Belichick may land. The first option, King throws into the ring is Dallas. It may seem difficult to picture the Cowboys letting go of current head coach Mike McCarthy as they currently sit at 8-3, tied for the second-best record in the NFL and the fifth seed in the NFC, but King lays down a scenario in which he could see a fed up Jerry Jones move on to new leadership.

King thinks that the Cowboys have to lose their division, have a questionable showing or two down the stretch of the regular season, and go winless in the playoffs. They’re currently two games back of the division-leading Eagles with one head-to-head loss and a home matchup remaining against their division rival, so that one’s not unlikely, though still up in the air.

As for the likelihood of the questionable showings, the Cowboys already have a loss to the Kyler Murray-less Cardinals and are 0-2 against teams with a winning record. The remainder of their schedule sees them encounter matchups with the Seahawks (6-5), Eagles, (9-1), Bills (6-5), Dolphins (8-3), and Lions (8-3). There are plenty of opportunities down the stretch for the Cowboys to lay an egg or two against a good team.

Bill had full authority with the Patriots as both HC and GM.

Funny ... Washingmachine traded away their two best Defensive players and then fires their DC.

Ron Rivera is a POS.
