The NFL League Meetings are buzzing in Phoenix, Arizona, and while the NFC took center stage at the annual coaches' breakfast, the Tennessee Titans managed to steal some of the spotlight. The Titans are shaking things up this offseason, bringing in a fresh wave of talent from the NFC by hiring Robert Saleh, Brian Daboll, and Gus Bradley. These moves come after parting ways with Brian Callahan during the 2025 season.
Robert Saleh and Gus Bradley, both making the leap from the San Francisco 49ers, are key figures in this transformation. 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan shared his thoughts on Saleh's new opportunity, and it was clear he had mixed emotions.
“Not that happy, I didn’t want to lose him,” Shanahan confessed. “I was really happy for Robert.
Robert deserves to be a head coach; he’s one of the league's better coaches. I thought he got a raw deal the first time, and I think he's in a good situation.
We hated to lose him with the Niners, but we’re really happy for him. I know he’s gonna do a hell of a job for the team.”
Shanahan's remarks highlight a narrative that's been building: Saleh's previous stint with the Jets wasn't exactly fair. Despite crafting a formidable defense, Saleh faced challenges with an underperforming offense, the turbulent Aaron Rodgers era, and a shaky offensive staff, ultimately leaving him sidelined.
Now, Saleh lands in Nashville with a promising setup. With Brian Daboll as the offensive coordinator and a supportive general manager in Mike Borgonzi, the Titans seem poised for a resurgence. Saleh finally has the tools and support to make a significant impact, and fans are eager to see what this new chapter holds.
