Chargers first up on a the Jim Harbaugh interview tour
Will not surprise me if he leaves with a handshake agreement to be their next HC.
Prior relationship with ownership, solid roster core and star QB in the making in place, major market team and oh yea - can walk away from all those pesky NCAA investigations and inquires.
The man has nothing left to prove to his alma mater at this point - he finally beat the Buckeyes - did it again this year - and took home Big 10 and National Championship. McCarthy is gone to the NFL and he knows the conference championship next year will be nowhere near as easy.
This is the best opportunity for him - and by striking a deal now - team can get a jump start on all the other teams searching for a coach and awaiting teams in the playoffs to lose before assistants can interview.
