Another team is looking for a head coach — and there’s a new potential candidate for the Bears to talk to.
The Cowboys said Monday they would not bring back head coach Mike McCarthy, whose exclusive negotiating window was set to expire on Tuesday night. That means the Cowboys will join the Bears, Jets, Saints, Jaguars and Raiders in looking for a new head coach. The Patriots hired Mike Vrabel on Sunday.
The Bears will be interested in McCarthy; last week, they asked permission to speak with him, which was denied by the Cowboys.
