The New England Patriots are facing a challenging season, with a current record of 2-8, prompting widespread speculation that head coach Bill Belichick might part ways with the team at the end of the 2023 regular season.
Owner Robert Kraft expressed his disappointment, stating, “This is our thirtieth year that I’ve had the privilege of owning this team, and I’ve never been 2-7.” The Patriots’ recent struggles have left both ownership and fans dissatisfied, hoping for a turnaround in the remaining games.
If the Patriots do part ways with Belichick, there are potential landing spots for the experienced coach. CBS Sports has identified four NFL teams, with the Dallas Cowboys emerging as the most intriguing possibility. The Cowboys, currently boasting a 5-3 record, have a roster built for a Super Bowl run. However, concerns about coaching under Mike McCarthy could open the door for Belichick to bring his expertise and potentially address execution and mental mistakes that have haunted the team.
The Cowboys, who secured a decisive victory against the Giants, improving to 6-3, face increasing pressure on McCarthy to lead a deep playoff run. While McCarthy has performed well in Dallas, the allure of a coach with Belichick’s track record could tempt team owner Jerry Jones to consider a change.
CBS Sports also highlights Washington, Tampa Bay, and the Los Angeles Chargers as potential landing spots for Belichick, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the coaching landscape as the NFL season progresses.
