Jerry Jones: 'No doubt' I could work with Belichick

Jerry Jones and Bill Belichick are two of the biggest titans around the NFL, but the Dallas Cowboys owner believes he and the longtime coach could co-exist in the same team if the opportunity ever arose.

"I know him personally and I like him," Jones told Yahoo Sports' Jori Epstein on Tuesday. "There's no doubt in my mind we could work together. None."

Jones has committed to Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy for next season despite another disappointing first-round playoff exit.

McCarthy is out of contract after 2024, however, and with Belichick seemingly headed for a year away from football following his exit from the New England Patriots, the six-time Super Bowl-winning coach will likely be connected to all available high-profile vacancies next offseason.

Jones said he didn't speak to any potential candidates before deciding to keep McCarthy.

"I don't want to get into, for reasons of talking about anybody that I may have talked to that's been bantered around about coaching," Jones said. "But I didn't talk to anybody. I haven't talked to anybody that is a head coaching candidate other than my own."

Jones added he "wouldn't speculate" on whether he believes Belichick will get another top job in the NFL. Belichick missed out on the Atlanta Falcons' coaching opening, which ultimately went to Raheem Morris.

The Washington Commanders have the lone remaining vacancy and haven't shown any interest in the former Patriots leader.
