Chicago Bears interview Mike McCarthy for head coach

The Chicago Bears are one of the few teams looking for a head coach this offseason. They have already requested interviews with several candidates, including Detroit Lions coordinators Ben Johnson (offense) and Aaron Glenn (defensive).

There’s another name in play for the Bears’ job: Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy.

Chicago has requested an interview with McCarthy, but the Cowboys coach is currently in an exclusive negotiating window with Dallas. They have until January 14th to negotiate a new contract or he will become a free agent.

The Cowboys have not yet made a decision on whether or not to keep the Super Bowl-winning coach. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones supported McCarthy in an interview with 105.7 The Fan before Week 18.

“Well, I feel good about Mike McCarthy,” Jones said, according to Cowboys.com. “The main thing is I like the work he did. It’s unfortunate we had the year we had, but I feel good about Mike.”
