Titans Introduce Robert Saleh as Head Coach, He Will Call Defensive Plays

He presents a more hands-on approach shaped by his Jets tenure plus a 49ers stint.

Overview

  • Saleh was formally unveiled in Nashville and confirmed he will serve as Tennessee's defensive play-caller to strengthen his connection with players.
  • Former Giants head coach Brian Daboll has been hired as offensive coordinator, bringing a track record that includes developing Josh Allen in Buffalo.
  • Saleh said he will balance play-calling with broader head-coach duties and pledged to stay active across all phases of the team.
  • He characterized his 20-36 run with the Jets as a period of growth, noting lessons he intends to apply in Tennessee after coordinating the 49ers' defense in 2025.
  • The Jets are scheduled to visit the Titans in 2026, and Saleh said "I can't wait," though the game date has not yet been announced.
