Titans Agree to Terms With Robert Saleh as Head Coach

The 49ers defensive coordinator emerges from a 16-candidate search to lead Tennessee's reset under GM Mike Borgonzi.

Overview

  • ESPN and The Tennessean report Tennessee is finalizing the hire with agreed terms after Saleh’s in-person interview in Nashville.
  • The Titans officially said only that they completed Monday’s in-person interviews with Robert Saleh and Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy.
  • Saleh had a second interview scheduled with the Cardinals on Tuesday that would be shelved if Tennessee closes the deal.
  • The former Jets head coach went 20–36 in New York before returning to San Francisco in 2025, where his defense finished 13th in points allowed and 20th in yards.
  • He would take over a team coming off back-to-back 3–14 seasons with top pick quarterback Cam Ward following a wide-ranging search led by first-year GM Mike Borgonzi.
