John Harbaugh is going to the Giants. What’s next for Tennessee?

ByNBAUSA



The New York Giants are first in the coaching race. The Giants agreed to a deal with John Harbaugh for him to be their next coach. Unfortunately for the eight other teams with a head coaching vacancy, the best candidate this offseason has already been hired. This hurts even worse for Tennessee Titans, who had an interview with Harbaugh today.

With Harbaugh off the board, what’s next for the Titans and other teams looking for a new coach? Well, Ian Rapoport says it’s business as usual for them. Tennessee will separately interview former Jets head coach and current 49ers DC Robert Saleh, as well as former Cowboys and Packers coach Mike McCarthy.

Rapoport also mentioned that Harbaugh’s quick hiring was remarkable. In recent years, a head coach’s first signing has often set off a chain reaction of other teams finalizing contracts with their candidates. This year, however, Harbaugh’s sudden availability threw the cycle on a loop, with teams like the Titans and Giants racing to woo the coach. Once Harbaugh joins the Giants, things will settle down a bit in the coaching cycle.

The Titans are looking for a new coach after firing Brian Callahan midway through the season. Callahan was fired after two poor seasons at Tennessee where he went 4-19. With a valuable asset in Cam Ward, the team is looking for a capable head coach who can properly develop the first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Ward will be a huge selling point on the Titans field to future head coaches. While his first season was a struggle, Ward’s talent shined in some games. The ideal plan for Tennessee is Chicago, which signed Ben Johnson in Caleb Williams’ second year and is currently in the divisional round.
