The Green Bay Packers, being the youngest team to make the playoffs since the 1974 Buffalo Bills, are understandably concerned about their postseason prospects. However, their role as potential spoilers in the matchup against the Dallas Cowboys could have significant implications for the entire league.
Heading into the playoffs, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has placed head coach Mike McCarthy on the hot seat. If the Cowboys have an early exit this month, it seems likely that the team will part ways with McCarthy. The Cowboys would need to move swiftly to secure a new head coach, especially since two top choices are receiving interest from multiple teams.
One potential candidate is Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, who has caught the attention of the Seattle Seahawks. Another notable free agent in the coaching market is Bill Belichick, who recently parted ways with the New England Patriots. Jones had expressed a willingness to hire Belichick as the Cowboys head coach decades ago, and Belichick has shown admiration for the organization.
At the age of 71, Belichick is not interested in rebuilding a team. The Cowboys present an ideal opportunity for him to join this offseason and lead a Super Bowl run over the next few seasons. However, his chances of becoming the Cowboys’ head coach hinge on McCarthy’s performance in the upcoming playoff game against his former team, the Packers. The longer the Cowboys stay in the playoffs, the higher the likelihood that Belichick may find another suitor, or the Cowboys may choose to retain McCarthy.
