The Chicago Bears have made an announcement about former Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy amid their hiring search.

Two weeks ago, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported that McCarthy "could set his sights on Chicago." It was apparently mutual after the Bears requested an interview with McCarthy while he was still under contract by the Cowboys, who denied the request. After Dallas and McCarthy decided to part ways, it didn't take long for Chicago to set up an interview.

The Chicago Bears' list of head coaching candidates grows by the day, as does the list of candidates they've already interviewed for the job.
