ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter provided a significant update on Mike McCarthy and the Chicago Bears head coaching situation.

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.

New details about the Chicago Bears' interview with veteran Mike McCarthy for their head-coaching job bring bad news on his candidacy.
