NEW YORK — It’s not as crazy as it sounds: Bill Belichick could be the Dallas Cowboys’ or Philadelphia Eagles’ head coach next season if Mike McCarthy’s or Nick Sirianni’s teams flop in the NFL playoffs.
In Dallas, owner Jerry Jones is likely to lose defensive coordinator Dan Quinn to another head coaching job. And a home loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday — or a second-round exit the following week — could put McCarthy in the line of fire.
In Philly, owner Jeffrey Lurie’s Eagles have lost five of their last six games.
