Drew Pearson Glad Cowboys Passed On Bill Belichick, ‘Not The Solution’

Drew Pearson says he’s glad Jerry Jones didn’t pass on Mike McCarthy to pursue Bill Belichick … telling TMZ Sports the ex-Patriots head coach “is not the man for the Dallas Cowboys.”

The Hall of Famer — who won a Super Bowl for America’s Team — explained this week that he thinks Belichick would have been nothing more than “a Band-aid” on the Cowboys’ woes.

Instead, he said he’s happy Jones chose to keep things stable … and roll with McCarthy for a fifth year — this despite his 1-4 playoff record.

“This is not at the point where we need to blow things up,” he said.

Pearson, however, does believe changes need to come in Big D … particularly after the Cowboys were destroyed, 48-32, by the Packers in the opening round of the postseason last weekend.

For starters, Pearson tells us he’s hoping his ex-team will go after Cardinals’ running back James Conner in free agency.

“That’s a bad man,” he said. “If we had a dude like that in our backfield …”

As for the team’s quarterback, Dak Prescott … the 73-year-old ex-receiver says he sees no reason to change things there either.

“I see Dak as a winner,” Pearson said. “There’s no question. He is not the problem.”
