Jerry hasn't responded to Bears request for MM interview

[Bagman]

It only means Jerry is going to make the Bears and McCarthy bide by the conditions of the contract. Jerry seems to be a stickler about holding coaches to contracts. As long as McCarthy is receiving a check, Jerry is not going to let him go on an interview for another team.

Jerry let Quinn interview for the Washington job during the week of last years GB playoff loss..

I think he had to because it was a step up. But I'm not positive.

Correct no choice for a vertical move

Jerry's too busy working on his acting career for this nonsense. Maybe Chicago should call his agent if they're looking for an immediate response.

I'm OK with it. McCarthy agreed to the contract. Chicago can either wait or move on.

Now, I'd prefer that Jerry be proactive with whatever they are going to do about the coaching position, but I can't say I feel sorry for the Bears or McCarthy if they have to wait.

Bears denied permission. Per Schefter

 

[dupree89]

So MM it will be.

 

[fivetwos]

Jerry is probably too busy negotiating the next concert or sporting event at the stadium to worry about what will happen with MM.

Maybe his next acting gig.

Or Jones is *teaching* McCarthy a lesson in loyalty. We will all find out depending on whether McCarthy re-signs/extended with Dallas on or before the 14th.

How is that a lesson in loyalty?

 

[Whirlwin]

Let the conspiracy theories begin!!!!!!!!!

Jones is probably on his yacht and doesn't even know about this.

He thinks he’s on his yacht, he’s floating on his couch after drinking a bottle of blue label

 

[Whirlwin]

He can deny them

 

[cowboyfan4life2]

Maybe his next acting gig.

Is the Golden Girls getting a reboot?

 

[Mannix]

Fish just reported getting a text stating that the Cowboys have DENIED the Bears request to interview Corky.....more of the same coming.....hahahahaha....unbelievable!!!

Jerry is being Jerry. He believes the world revolves around him. To be honest he has control. Does anyone really care if McCarthy returns in the fan base. I certainly don’t. We know what is going to happen. This will go up to the last second and if they part ways the coaching hire will happen around Super Bowl week. The Cowboys are opening up all the National talk shows by the way.

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

Jerry hasn’t been able to access his AOL email for years. He simply has not got the request from the Bears.

He can deny it during the season and playoffs. After the Cowboys are out of the playoffs, he can't deny it. He let it happen last year with Quinn. Otherwise teams would have had to wait until after the Cowboys were eliminated from the playoffs.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

Fat Mike wont come back without a considerable raise .

its not rocket science to infer the obvious .

 

[charron]

No one has told Jerry if he wants Mike back or not.

How is that a lesson in loyalty?

Perhaps 'test' is a more appropriate word than 'lesson'. It depends on the accuracy of Adam Schefter's information, which was Jerry Jones not giving automatic approval for Chicago to interview Mike McCarthy. The loyalty test is determining how badly McCarthy wants out of Dallas.

It is simple. McCarthy will be out of a job January 14th IF Jones and he cannot extend their current professional agreement. McCarthy could choose to wait until January 14th and take his chances for securing new employment elsewhere. OR McCarthy can take advantage of interviewing opportunity before January 14 and agree to a job offer before his employment formally ends with Dallas.

Jones may be interfering with McCarthy's future job opportunities by blocking suitors from interviewing him. If McCarthy is both not serious about taking another job and wanting Jones to make him another offer before his current contracts ends, McCarthy passes the test because he is being loyal to Jones. Otherwise, McCarthy does not pass the test if that is not the case.

Edited: "does not pass"
