And I think the subtext of it all is like, what teams and organizations sound good for us if the situation comes up? And there wasn't a lot of back channel communication with owners. I think that the Brian Flores lawsuit has impacted that greatly.

well, it's an ongoing discrimination lawsuit against the league and three teams. And I think that owners don't want to get wrapped up in that. They don't want to be part of that. They don't want to violate the Rooney rule. And so I'm not convinced that Belichick wouldn't have ended up with an NFL job. I just think we're never going to know.

And I think that the ones that he thought he might have a chance at just didn't seem appealing enough. And I think that on those Zoom calls, Midway through the season, all of a sudden, the college game just seemed much more appealing to him. And he wanted to discuss certain programs, how it would work if they tried to implement some of the Patriot way at that level.

And again, I was as shocked as anybody. I think you and I were texting about it when North Carolina came up. And, you know, it's not Notre Dame exactly, but he felt like this is a good place to end his career the way that he wants to end his career, which is, you know, working with people that he cares about, that he likes, and winning or losing on his terms.

Yeah, and I mean, again, one of those situations is interesting. I mean, Dallas is interesting to me because nobody can take a collection of talent and turn them into a team quite like Belichick. But again... can the Jones share the spotlight with someone like Belichick?

I have no doubt that they could all get along, but I don't know if Jerry Jones values coaches enough to go after someone like Bill. Well, he had Jason Garrett for eight years or nine years, so we know the answer to that already. Exactly. And so I think that, again, he saw the Giants as a rebuild, but he also believes that Brian Dayball has done a good job. Yeah.
