Pro Football Rumors
The Titans are hiring 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh as their next head coach, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Saleh, 46, impressed the team’s decision-makers during his interview in Tennessee on Monday. He was originally scheduled to speak with the team virtually on Sunday, but the two sides pivoted to an in-person meeting that could not take place until the following day due to league hiring rules. The race appeared to be down to Saleh and Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, who was set for his own in-person interview with the Titans on Tuesday. But Saleh won over owner Amy Adams Strunk and general manager Mike Borgonzi to become a head coach for the second time in his career.
More to come.
