Schefter: McCarthy 'Legitimate Candidate' for Bears, Saints HC After Cowboys Exit
ESPN's Adam Schefter believes former Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy is a "legitimate candidate" to coach either the Chicago Bears or New Orleans Saints in 2025.
"I think he's in play in New Orleans, I think he's been in play in Chicago. I think he's a legitimate candidate in both places," Schefter said Monday on the Pat McAfee Show.
McCarthy coached the Cowboys for five seasons before he and the organization announced they would be parting ways last week. The Cowboys got off to a 3-4 start in 2024 before losing Dak Prescott to injury and eventually missing the postseason.
