NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A person familiar with the situation says the Titans have received permission to talk with Mike Mularkey, Gregg Williams and Perry Fewell as coaching candidates to replace Jeff Fisher.

The person spoke Wednesday to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Titans have not yet interviewed any of the three candidates.

Mularkey is Atlanta's offensive coordinator, Williams is the defensive coordinator at New Orleans and Fewell, an African-American, is the Giants' defensive coordinator. The Titans would satisfy the NFL's Rooney Rule of considering a minority by interviewing Fewell.

The Titans have confirmed interviewing offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger and offensive line coach Mike Munchak.
