Mike McCarthy will have several options if he doesn't return to the Dallas Cowboys, with the head coach being linked to another NFC team not named the Bears.

On Monday, the Bears requested to interview Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy. Twenty-four hours later, the Bears still haven't gotten a response to their request, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said after Sunday's game that it didn't bother him if the team's coaches — all of whom are on expiring contracts — interviewed elsewhere.
