Brian Daboll to Become Titans Offensive Coordinator, Reports Confirm
Brian Daboll has been appointed as the offensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans, following reports confirming the news on January 27. This venture is part of new head coach Robert Saleh’s efforts to bolster the team’s offensive strategy.
Background on Brian Daboll
Daboll’s coaching career includes significant experience. He served as the head coach of the New York Giants from 2022 to 2025. His previous roles also include offensive coordinator positions with the Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs, Miami Dolphins, and Cleveland Browns. Notably, he secured five Super Bowl victories with the New England Patriots and led Alabama to a college football national championship in 2017.
Contingencies for the Hire
Daboll’s acceptance of the Titans’ coordinator position hinges on his ongoing interview process for the head coaching role with the Las Vegas Raiders. If he is not selected for that position, he will officially join Saleh’s staff.
Challenges Faced by Robert Saleh
Saleh, recognized for his defensive coaching background, has faced difficulties in offensive decision-making during his time with the New York Jets. His first two offensive coordinator choices, Mike LaFleur and Nathaniel Hackett, struggled to establish an effective offense. This led to a disappointing record of 20-36 with the Jets, and they never ranked higher than 28th in scoring.
Current State of the Titans’ Offense
The Titans are structured around quarterback Cam Ward, the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Supporting Ward are young receivers Elic Ayomanor, Chimere Dike, and Gunnar Helm. Running backs Tyjae Spears and Tony Pollard, along with offensive linemen Dan Moore Jr., Peter Skoronski, Lloyd Cushenberry III, and JC Latham, are also key components of the roster transitioning into 2026.
Previous Offensive Rankings
Under previous coaching staff members, including Brian Callahan and Mike McCoy, the Titans struggled offensively. In 2025, the team ranked 31st in total yards per game and 30th in scoring.
This latest move suggests a strategic effort by Saleh to enhance the Titans’ performance as they prepare for the upcoming season. Fresh ideas and leadership from Daboll may help turn around the team’s offensive struggles.
