If the Cowboys no longer want Mike McCarthy, Brett Favre tells TMZ Sports the Bears should … saying he believes Chicago and the head coach would be a “perfect fit.”
McCarthy’s contract in Dallas expires next week — but according to reports, Jerry Jones and the 61-year-old sideline manager are in talks about a potential extension.
But, if the negotiations fall through … Favre says a marriage with Caleb Williams in the Windy City makes a lot of sense.
“Mike has done a great job of developing young quarterbacks,” said Favre, who actually played for McCarthy for a couple years in Green Bay. “So, if you’re looking at it from that perspective, yeah, he’s a perfect fit.”
The Bears, of course, seem to have interest in the pairing — they actually put in a request to the Cowboys to interview him this week for their coaching vacancy … although Jones has since denied their ask.
If McCarthy and Jones can’t strike a deal by Jan. 14, however, Mike would be able to do the interview regardless … and Favre reiterated that, from his perspective, the two are “a good fit.”
As for if the Cowboys should even want the play-caller back — particularly considering Dallas was just 7-10 in 2025 — Favre told us it’s a “tough” call.
“That’s a question that is probably best posed to Jerry Jones,” he said.
