Football fans on social media think they know which team Bill Belichick will coach next, and it’s not the Dallas Cowboys.
Many fans have linked Bill Belichick to the Cowboys during their slow start, and understandably so. A big-market team like Dallas makes perfect sense for the greatest head coach of all time, and current Cowboys HC Mike McCarthy is in his contract year and unlikely to be retained if the team doesn’t embark on a deep postseason run.
But football fans are predicting that Belichick won’t be coaching America’s Team next. Rather, they believe he will eventually replace Doug Pederson as head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
A flood of tweets called for the Jaguars to hire Belichick during the team’s embarrassing loss to the Buffalo Bills on “Monday Night Football.”
I’m adding the Jaguars to my unofficial Bill Belichick watch list for 2025.

After parting ways with the New England Patriots in January, Belichick became the biggest name available in the head coaching hiring cycle. Surprisingly, the Atlanta Falcons were the only team that interviewed the six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach.
The Falcons hired former Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris, and the other teams with HC vacancies passed over Belichick. Unless he’s hired by a team mid-season, 2024 will mark the first year without Belchick employed in the NFL since 1974.
Bill Belichick Is The Perfect Candidate For Jaguars
The Jaguars have too much talent to be 0-3, and to be humiliated by the Bills like this on prime time. Clearly, Doug Pederson isn’t the solution to this team’s never-ending search for a competent long-term head coach.
Belichick is the most decorated head coach in NFL history and would surely be enticed by the chance to take over a team with Jacksonville’s talent. He could do a lot worse than a core of Trevor Lawrence, Christian Kirk, Travis Etienne Jr., Brian Thomas Jr., Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker.
