Where will Belichick land? Ranking ex-Patriots coach’s best fits originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The Bill Belichick chatter is growing louder with multiple NFL head coaches fired or on the hot seat heading into Week 7.
It’s unclear whether Belichick would consider a midseason return to coaching. The six-time Super Bowl champion is keeping himself busy with multiple media roles, including ESPN’s ManningCast and Pat McAfee Show.

Despite the team’s horrible start, owner Jerry Jones said after the Detroit defeat he isn’t considering a coaching change at this time. That doesn’t mean McCarthy’s job is safe, however. FOX Sports’ Jordan Shultz added fuel to the Belichick rumors with a report on Sunday:
“While owner Jerry Jones remains committed to Mike McCarthy, many around the league wonder if Dallas could become the primary landing spot for Bill Belichick this offseason, should the Cowboys decide to make a change.

McCarthy is in the final year of his contract. We’ll likely have to wait until the end of the season for a coaching change in Dallas, but it’s an obvious fit for Belichick with a roster built to win now.
