Former Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy, who was fired earlier this month, already is receiving overtures from NFL teams considering head coaching changes, league sources tell ESPN.
But it uncertain at this point whether McCarthy will immediately return to the head coaching ranks, according to sources. He still has one year remaining on his contract with the Packers, and unless he finds the right fit, he could decide to take off a year before exploring the job market again at this time next year.
But McCarthy is expected to draw interest, and potential offers -- possibly even from his former Green Bay colleagues John Dorsey, Alonzo Highsmith and Eliot Wolf, who now run the Cleveland Browns' front office, according to sources.
