Currently open to all suitors, the great head coach of the Patriots has gathered.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Dallas Cowboys planned to pursue Bill Belichick. However, they didn’t. Adam Schefter of ESPN, one of the major media figures who prefers to use adjectives like “crazy” rather than just “my reporting was wrong,” calls that “crazy.” The famous head coach of the Patriots is currently open to all suitors and has gathered… one. And Schefter says he can’t even begin to understand why.
The Falcons are the only team so far that has engaged in heavy conversations with Bill Belichick …That’s crazy to me but right now that’s the reality,” Schefter said.
Some things about this aren’t outlandish at all, like the fact that Belichick is 71 years old, could wish to act as his own general manager (as he did in New England), and hasn’t managed a competitive football club in nearly five years. From that perspective, it’s not “crazy” that Belichick isn’t a “hot candidate.” It makes perfect sense. However, there’s another factor that is undoubtedly driving Schefter’s “surprise” in this situation: Schefter is the one who has been reporting, implying, and hinting for weeks that Belichick and the Dallas Cowboys would wind up together.
He was also mistaken. Every turn, every implication, every hint, and every report has been proven to be false.
Additionally, Belichick has egg on his face now that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has chosen to keep coach Mike McCarthy, as was always his desire, according to reports from CowboysSI.com that date back as long as Schefter did not. Additionally, Schefter’s face has also been affected by the yolk, as he was the “insider” who revealed to the public that Belichick and Jones were “mysteriously” arranging a hook-up.
Belichick’s decision to leave The Star isn’t “crazy.” What’s “crazy” is that rather than take responsibility for a wrongheaded series of reports, ESPN’s lead guy is still pretending that he was right – but that “crazy” got in the way.
