Sunday’s Wild Card matchup against the Green Bay Packers hasn’t gone as Dallas Cowboys fans would have liked. At the end of the first half, the Cowboys trail the seven-seeded Packers 27-7. Green Bay looked locked in from the get-go, scoring on its opening drive, intercepting Dak Prescott twice, including a pick-six, and have simply thoroughly dominated. The Cowboys have sometimes looked unprepared and lost and haven’t had a great feel for it.
Naturally, reactions to the first-half-shellacking have popped up all over the internet. The usual suspects have either cheered on the beatdown or, in Skip Bayless’ case, once again found themselves in a similar position.
Of course, Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy found himself at the center of everyone’s skewering. McCarthy is no stranger to this position, as he’s uniquely played that role for both teams in his coaching career unfortunately. But one joke made its way through on Sunday afternoon. While the Packers dogged the Cowboys, the sports world made the same joke: That Bill Belichick should coach the Dallas Cowboys.
Among those making the jokes? ESPN’s Pat McAfee and Ryan Clark.

It wasn’t just exclusive to ESPN either, as many took aim and wound up landing on the same coin.

Naturally, one observer felt obligated to make us wonder: What would happen if Bill came out at the half to coach the Cowboys?

Highly unlikely? Obviously. Humorous? Of course.
