Mike McCarthy's future with the Dallas Cowboys remains uncertain after the team denied the Chicago Bears' interview request.

While Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy waits on his future in Dallas as his contract nears expiration, he could have another suitor in the Chicago Bears, according to multiple reports.

Mike McCarthy says he absolutely wants to return as the coach of the Dallas Cowboys. Jerry Jones has dropped multiple hints that McCarthy would be back, but the team owner was far from definitive about McCarthy’s future after a 23-19 loss to Washington finished a 7-10 season.
