It was rumored this week that teams in the NFC South are eyeing New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. On Friday, Julian Edelman offered his thoughts on that.
Well, sort of.
When asked by Colin Cowherd if Belichick would accept the head coaching job for the Carolina Panthers, Edelman replied, “No way.”
Edelman then mentioned the Dallas Cowboys as a potential landing spot for his former coach.
“What about Dallas? What if Mike McCarthy gets knocked out of the playoffs early? Bill over there with that Top 10 offensive line and talent … they’d at least be fundamentally sound,” Edelman said, via Cowboys Country. “McCarthy gets a lot of penalties and that clock management … in the game against the Lions the moment just looked too big.”
It doesn’t sound like the Cowboys are in the market for a new coach. The Panthers, however, will swing big for a marquee name this offseason.
As of now, it sounds like Panthers owner David Tepper will have to cross Belichick off his wish list.
