Tennessee Titans Have Hired Robert Saleh To Be Their New Head Coach
They came together and decided they were a good fit on Monday night. So they agreed to terms on a new contract and on Thursday night the deal was done. The Tennessee Titans have hired Robert Saleh to be their new head coach. Prior to joining the Titans, Saleh served as the defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers. Saleh and Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy were among the 15 candidates who interviewed for the Titans’ head coach job.
Speaking on his decision to join the team Saleh mentioned what drew him to the position, saying:
“For me,” Saleh said as he strolled through the building earlier this week, “this was the most desirable location, the most desirable team. What I learned about the organization, the more phone calls I made, the more people I spoke to, this building, I feel like it fits me, will fit us, the best. The people here are unbelievable, and they’re the type of people you want to work with.
“I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity. And I am really excited about the city of Nashville and bringing a winner back to the city.”
Saleh signed a five-year contract as head coach and replaces Brian Callahan who was fired midseason. They decided to go with Saleh because he has former head coaching experience with the New York Jets. And he is known for his leadership skills, his defensive mind, and his ability to develop players, and a game plan.

Owner of the Tennessee Titans Amy Adams Strunk issued a statement on the hiring of Saleh:
“We’re delighted to welcome Robert and his family to the Titans, and firmly believe he is the right person for our team and community. We immediately connected with his competitive spirit and detailed approach to developing our players and team. Also, Robert’s recommendations from across the league were overwhelmingly positive and were only reinforced during our time together. I want to thank Mike Borgonzi for his leadership during this process and acknowledge the work done by the search committee. They dedicated so much time and effort and I am thrilled with the results – and most importantly – I believe Titans fans will be, too. Congratulations to Robert and his family, and welcome to Nashville.”
Saleh has an extensive defensive background having spent four seasons (2017-20) as the defensive coordinator for the 49ers, which included a Super Bowl appearance at the end of the 2020 season. When he was with the New York Jets he guided four different players in their first four years in the NFL to Associated Press First-Team All-Pro honors (WR Braxton Berrios, CB Sauce Gardner & DL Quinnen Williams) and Pro Bowl appearances (Gardner, LB Jermaine Johnson II & Williams).
Congratulations to Robert Saleh on earning the Titans head coaching job!
