15. Mike McCarthy wouldn't be my first choice...

...but he wouldn't be the worst, either. There are 32 teams in the NFL, and fewer than 16 proven head coaches (winning record in three or more seasons). The Bears last four head coaches (not counting Thomas Brown, interim coach for the last five games) have been Marc Tressman, John Fox, Matt Nagy and Matt Eberflus. Nagy had one good year, in 2018. Their combined record is 75-116 (and that includes a 12-4 season). They've been bad, and a coach who could install a positive culture would be a refreshing change.

McCarthy may not be able to win the big game, but he's a proven head coach, and an offensively minded one at that. Not many of those in this coaching market.
