Former head coach of the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers, Mike McCarthy, completed his first interview with the
Chicago Bears on Wednesday. The Bears wasted no time giving the winner of Super Bowl XLV a virtual interview. General manager Ryan Pace and CEO Kevin Warren met with McCarthy in person at Halas Hall.
The Chicago Bears had an “interesting” meeting
On
ESPN ‘s “Get Up” broadcast Thursday, Adam Schefter
called the idea of McCarthy joining the Bears “interesting.” “Former Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy was in Halas Hall yesterday,” Schefter said. “Just the idea of that seems so interesting. He met with Bears officials throughout the day yesterday, going through his first head coaching interview. He also is expected to speak at some point with the New Orleans Saints, but the Bears spent Wednesday with the former Cowboys head coach.” The sobering reality this weekend seems to be that the Bears are losing out on the top two candidates in this coaching cycle. Mike Vrabel signed with the New England Patriots. Ben Johnson is inching closer to the Las Vegas Raiders.
Chicago media has been pumping out Mike McCarthy content
Bears fans and local media mocked the idea of McCarthy potentially joining Chicago. But in the last couple of days, local media has started to accept that fate that he could be the team’s best option. .
@BernsyHarris examine
#Bears head coach candidate Mike McCarthy's level of success compared to
#Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin's level of successs. Have to say the “hiring McCarthy means your ceiling is 10-7” criticism is astounding to me. The Bears have won 10 games only SIX times since the turn of this century. A few 10-win seasons in a row would be lovely! It’s still early in the interview process. The Bears cannot interview Johnson again until the Lions are eliminated from the postseason. However, McCarthy and Pete Carroll aren’t guaranteed to be around when Detroit’s season is over. There’s a real possibility the Bears could decide to pull the trigger on McCarthy or another available candidate if they believe Johnson’s camp is headed in another direction. For now, Chicago media is beginning to realize McCarthy might be the Bears’ best option. God help us all.
