Bears Interview With Mike McCarthy Reportedly Didn’t Go As Planned

Just one day after head coach Mike McCarthy became a free agent, leaving his post with the Dallas Cowboys, he was in Wheeling, Illinois, to meet with the Chicago Bears. The organization brought him in on a private jet, put him into nice accommodations, and treated him to dinner. It was a far cry from the treatment they’ve given coaches in the past, confirming the belief that they had revamped their approach. It led many to wonder if the team was serious about making him their top priority for the head coaching position.
