The Cowboys wanted to hire Bill Belichick, but the coach is afraid of “Big Dallas Media”? Double PFT because of Silly Report.
We waited to see how the national media, which was completely wrong to link Bill Belichick to the Dallas Cowboys, would move away from their faulty reporting, skirt around the message, or perhaps even just choose to dodge and excuse the absence.
The Cowboys were interested in Belichick, but the reason a hire didn’t happen — Dallas settled for signing Mike McCarthy — is because Belichick wasn’t interested. “As for the Cowboys and Eagles, some league circles also believe that both teams expressed interest in Belichick, that Belichick did not reciprocate, and that those teams then decided to stick it out to their current coaches.
“Florio says Belichick doesn’t want to deal with “big media” like he had to do in New England and a likely move to Atlanta is the result. “As one league source explained, Belichick is believed to be done with the ‘big market media,’ making him more likely to go to a place like Atlanta than Dallas or Philadelphia,” PFT reports .
