The NFL head coach hiring cycle is in full swing and change is in the air. Teams without a head coach are spending this week interviewing candidates but have to submit requests to any candidates still employed by another team. Which can present complications. As the Chicago Bears are finding out.
It was reported Monday the Bears sent a request to the Dallas Cowboys to interview Mike McCarthy. The Cowboys have yet to decide if McCarthy will return for the 2025 season and beyond, but he is still under contract until the end of the week. As such other teams interested in McCarthy's services, such as Chicago, have to go through Dallas and Jerry Jones.
