ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter provided a significant update on Mike McCarthy and the Chicago Bears head coaching situation.

New details about the Chicago Bears' interview with veteran Mike McCarthy for their head-coaching job bring bad news on his candidacy.

Two weeks ago, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported that McCarthy "could set his sights on Chicago." It was apparently mutual after the Bears requested an interview with McCarthy while he was still under contract by the Cowboys, who denied the request. After Dallas and McCarthy decided to part ways, it didn't take long for Chicago to set up an interview.

None of the other teams that have head coach openings seem to be as interested in Mike McCarthy as the Chicago Bears.

The Chicago Bears have made an announcement about former Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy amid their hiring search.

With Mike McCarthy free to interview for other openings, NFL fans believe McCarthy will ultimately wind up with the Bears.

Former Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy appeared to be a front-runner for the Chicago Bears head coaching gig, but the team ultimately went a different way.

The Chicago Bears have opened the door for Mike McCarthy to interview for their heading coaching position after his exit from the Cowboys.

Last week, the Chicago Bears put in a request to interview former Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy. The Cowboys denied the request, but McCarthy is free to interview with the team after Dallas chose to let the 61-year-old walk into free agency on Monday.

The Dallas Cowboys and head coach Mike McCarthy will not come to terms on a new contract and will part ways, adding a new wrinkle to the Chicago Bears’ coaching search.

The Chicago Bears announced Wednesday that the team had completed an interview with McCarthy just two days after he parted ways with Dallas.
