Mike McCarthy’s NFL future remains up in the air.
But it’s already clear where the Dallas Cowboys stand on their current head coach joining one of the most famous teams in the league.
The rebuilding Chicago Bears are set to interview a variety of candidates as they attempt to find an ideal leader to pair with No. 1 overall draft pick Caleb Williams.
Former Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll, current Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady, ex-Tennessee Titans HC Mike Vrabel, Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores and Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson are all expected to interview for the Bears’ open head coaching position.
But Chicago sent shockwaves through the NFL when it was revealed that the Bears — who fired Matt Eberflus on November 29 following a late-game meltdown — also want to interview McCarthy.
More intrigue was added when Chicago general manager Ryan Poles acknowledged that the Bears could trade for their new HC.
Dallas still has exclusive negotiating rights with McCarthy until January 14, which means that the Cowboys must give the Bears a green light to interview him.
Despite Dallas going all season with McCarthy as an apparent lame-duck coach and the Cowboys failing to make the playoffs thanks to a disappointing 7-10 record, the most valuable sports franchise in the world is set to prevent McCarthy from seeking new employment.
