Bears hoping to interview Cowboys HC Mike McCarthy

It remains totally up in the air if the Dallas Cowboys are going to bring back head coach Mike McCarthy or not. With Dallas suffering yet another disappointing season, the door is wide open for him to not be brought back - keep in mind McCarthy is out of contract.

With that said, might a move to the NFC North be in the works? According to Adam Schefter, the Chicago Bears have put in a request to interview McCarthy. Could something end up getting done?

Chicago Bears have sought permission to interview Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy and are awaiting a response from Dallas, sources tell me and @toddarcher.

If the Cowboys don’t allow permission this week, the Bears could interview McCarthy after his exclusive negotiating window… pic.twitter.com/zoS7vHO5mF

People in Chicago know all about McCarthy from his days with the Packers. It would be strange to see him don Chicago gear, but you never know what might happen. Chicago, per Schefty, is still waiting to hear back from Dallas on its interview request as well.
