Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Tuesday that he believes he and former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick "could work together."

"I know him personally and I like him," Jones told Yahoo Sports' Jori Epstein at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama. "There's no doubt in my mind we could work together. None. None."

The answer was in response to a question about what Jones liked about Belichick generally. Jones was previously asked in Mobile whether he spoke with Belichick this month (he said he had not) and whether he thought the eight-time Super Bowl champion would get another crack at coaching ("I don't know. I wouldn't speculate.").

Belichick and the Pats parted ways after 24 years, which featured six Super Bowl titles and nine AFC championships. Belichick also previously won two Lombardi Trophies with the New York Giants as their defensive coordinator.

Mike McCarthy currently coaches the Dallas Cowboys and has led the team to three straight 12-win seasons.

Playoff success had eluded Dallas, however, and the No. 2 seed Cowboys crashed and burned this year en route to a 48-32 loss to the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Wild Card Round.

That led to speculation regarding McCarthy's job, and folks connected Belichick to Dallas when the latter man found himself out of work. But Jones has kept McCarthy, who is in the final year of a five-season deal.

Of course, things could change in 2025. Jones can opt for a change and bring in Belichick, who hasn't found a new gig. The only team he interviewed with is the Atlanta Falcons, but they've since rolled with ex-Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris as their new leader.

For now, though, Belichick is a de-facto free agent, and the Cowboys are going "all-in" on 2024, per Jones.

As for Belichick, it doesn't appear that he'll be coaching anywhere in 2024 with just two head coach openings left, in Washington and Seattle, neither of which has spoken with the ex-Patriot.

However, he's reported to have interest in returning to the sideline, per CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones, albeit "on his terms."
