The Chicago Bears took a unique approach when interviewing Mike McCarthy for their head coaching position, setting it apart from other candidate interviews.

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 Bears didn’t pick former Packers coach Mike McCarthy, but Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is now staying inside the NFC North.
