Bill Belichick's ring-chasing days may not be over yet…on and off the field.
The six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach has embarked on a successful career in the media since being fired by the Patriots earlier this year, but his name remains associated with potential head coaching jobs in NFL circles. continues to be.
While people are trying to connect the dots from Belichick to either football team after seeing the Jets' decision to fire manager Robert Saleh and the Cowboys' struggles this week, there is one big factor that will influence the decision to return to coaching. There may be one.
Daily Mail reported On Monday, Belichick announced that he is at “a bit of a crossroads” in his life due to his relationship with 23-year-old Jordon Hudson.
“While I still have the desire to coach again and break my winning record, I am enjoying my work in television and truly enjoying my relationship with my girlfriend Jordon, which is developing into something that will lead us into the future.” “His life isn't so bad now because he's getting married,” a source told the magazine. “He always wants to be with her, but she's pushing him to think about what his options are for next season because he knows it'll make him happy. .”
Additionally, it appears Belichick will be making a potential decision to coach again with his girlfriend's well-being in mind. Belichick, 72, wants her to be happy with whatever decisions she makes regarding future offers. ”
Belichick is 14 wins shy of Don Shula's record of 347 wins.
Belichick and Hudson's relationship first became public in June, and the two have been more open about it since then.
Belichick remains a highly sought-after coach and will likely be a candidate for the job if one opens this coming offseason.
Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy has been in a tough spot for a while now, but he's feeling the pressure increase after Sunday's embarrassing loss to the Lions. Owner Jerry Jones called the loss “humbling” and “very concerning.”
Jones insisted Sunday that he is not considering a coaching change.
However, the Daily Mail reports that if Jones decides to part ways with McCarthy at some point, the Cowboys job will be turned down by Belichick, but the former Pats coach has too much of his baggage. They don't seem keen to pack a bag for Texas.
The report suggests that a job offer from the Cowboys could serve as a better route to getting the job he would rather have when the time comes.
For now, Belichick is enjoying being a media darling, appearing on ESPN's show and the gaming company Underdog Fantasy's podcast.
