Cowboys Reportedly Interested In Former Patriots Coach For Vacancy
The Dallas Cowboys are being a little more patient in the search for their next head coach than the New England Patriots.
While Robert Kraft named Mike Vrabel as Jerod Mayo’s successor exactly one week after moving on from the first-year coach, Jerry Jones is nearly two weeks into his search for Mike McCarthy’s replacement.
Jones has reportedly reached out to former Patriots and Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram’s Nick Harris.
“The conversation has been described as informal, although the interest is legitimate enough to be reported,” Harris wrote. “There are no set plans for a formal interview as of Thursday afternoon.”
Carroll may have an edge in the vacancy because the Super Bowl XLVIII champion has ties within the Cowboys organization. Current Dallas offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer was on Carroll’s staff in Seattle and Cowboys offensive line coach Mike Solari held the same position for the Seahawks under Carroll.

Jones began his search for McCarthy’s replacement with a conversation with Colorado coach Deion Sanders that has not materialized since. Seattle assistant Leslie Frazier, former New York Jets coach Robert Saleh and Schottenheimer are the only in-person interviews Jones has conducted. Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore had a virtual interview since his team is still in the playoffs.
Carroll has 18 seasons of NFL head coaching experience. In New England, he led the Patriots to a 27-21 record across three seasons. The Patriots made the playoffs in his first two seasons, but after missing the playoffs in 1999, Kraft fired Carroll and hired Bill Belichick as his successor.
According to recent reports, the Dallas Cowboys are reportedly interested in former New England Patriots coach, Bill Belichick, to fill their head coaching vacancy. Belichick, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest coaches in NFL history, recently parted ways with the Patriots after a successful 20-year tenure.
The Cowboys are in need of a new head coach after firing Mike McCarthy following a disappointing season. Belichick’s proven track record of success and ability to lead a team to multiple Super Bowl victories make him an attractive candidate for the Cowboys.
While there has been no official confirmation from either party about the potential interest, the idea of Belichick coaching America’s Team has certainly sparked excitement among fans and analysts alike. It remains to be seen whether the Cowboys will be able to lure Belichick away from retirement and back to the sidelines, but it’s clear that his name is at the top of their wish list. Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops.
