00:00Washington, of course, ended up being ahead of Green Bay.
00:03They beat Dallas 23-19.
00:04Now, I just saw some news that I thought was pretty good about this guy, so I'll play his
00:09clip now.
00:10Mike McCarthy is technically, Joe, going to be a free agent.
00:13His contract is up as the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys.
00:18Will he be back in Dallas?
00:19Well, he has an exclusive negotiating window with them through, I believe I just read,
00:25January 14th.
00:26Here is Mike, I guess, saying why he feels he should be back in Dallas.
00:30I understand why you're asking the questions.
00:32I don't like to talk about myself that way, but I'll just be clear.
00:35I'm a winner.
00:36I know how to win.
00:37I've won a championship.
00:38I won a championship in this building, and that's who I am, and we'll see where it goes.
00:46Well, we will see where it goes.
00:48Jerry, when he did his little press conferences underneath the tunnel after the game that
00:55he does every week, obviously didn't say Mike's back, said, we're all going to get
01:00together and discuss things.
01:01This just came out, though, Joe, from Schefter about a half hour ago, 20 minutes ago.
01:06The Bears have asked the Cowboys' permission to interview Mike McCarthy now.
01:13Now, the Cowboys don't have to allow that, but if they don't re-sign him by January the
01:1914th, Mike McCarthy could talk to whoever he wants.
01:24That is what the Bears have allegedly done.
01:26Now, the Bears are also one of these teams we mentioned last hour.
01:29They're basically interviewing anyone in the world like the Jets.
01:32The Bears have put in 1,000 requests for 1,000 people, but that's the first one, Joe, I've
01:36seen involving Mike McCarthy with the Dallas Cowboys.
01:40Yeah, and you got to wonder, okay, interview with the Chicago Bears, but the Bears are
01:49another team that are interviewing anybody with a pulse right now, so why not Mike McCarthy?
01:55And you know, there's a lot of hand-waving, who knows who the agents who represent McCarthy,
02:00what kind of influence do they have in the building in Chicago.
02:04Hey, could you say or release and tell everyone that you're asking for an interview?
02:10It's to me, that's a great leverage move for Mike McCarthy, which will kind of be, hey,
02:16listen, Cowboys, don't hold on to him, don't give him a contract, and let him miss out
02:20on the next hiring cycle.
02:22So it sounds to me like somebody's trying to force the hand of the Cowboys here and
02:26make a decision sooner rather than later.
02:29Yeah, I could absolutely see that.
02:33So Jerry and Steven and the crew, they're going to have to pow-wow here, because that
02:37news will come out quickly, Cowboys denied the Bears from talking to them.
