Easton says they talked to him \u201cvery early on in the process.\u201d That actually makes a lot of sense because McCarthy didn\u2019t coach this year. The Titans could have talked to him at any point since they fired Brian Callahan back in October.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">There was a report from Adam Schefter earlier that the Atlanta Falcons moved up their second interview with Kevin Stefanski to today so that they could get him ahead of his second scheduled interview with the Titans. The second interview here hadn\u2019t been reported before that.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">My gut feeling when the Titans fired Callahan was that McCarthy was going to be the next coach. That went away a little bit through this process because so much was made of the Mike Borgonzi and Matt Nagy connection, plus the fact that it took so long for us to know they were going to even talk to McCarthy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">I won\u2019t be surprised if we get news before the start of the week that McCarthy is the next head coach of the Tennessee Titans.
