The Tennessee Titans are looking to return to the postseason for the first time since 2021, and the franchise has made significant moves within the coaching staff to reach that goal. In addition to hiring Robert Saleh as its new head coach, Brian Daboll has joined the team as the new offensive coordinator. Titans quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cam-ward">Cam Ward</a> recently used three words to describe a standout quality of his new play-caller.



The Titans are coming off another forgettable season, recording a 3-14 record for the second consecutive year. That lack of progress prompted the front office to overhaul the coaching staff and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brian-daboll">Daboll</a>’s arrival is specifically designed to maximize the potential of Ward, who is coming off a solid rookie campaign and described Daboll with three words.



“He’s a fiery coach,” the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans">Titans</a> QB said, via the team’s website. “He is going to get on my a— when he needs to, and he is going to hold me to a high standard. And that’s the standard I want to be held to”.



Ward’s first season in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> was a bright spot despite the team’s overall finish. The rookie completed 323-of-540 passes for 3,169 yards, 15 touchdowns, and seven interceptions, posting a passer rating of 80.3. He also added 159 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground.

Furthermore, Ward etched his name into the franchise record books. His 540 passing attempts now rank as the third-highest single-season total in team history, trailing only Warren Moon, who recorded 655 attempts in 1991 and 584 in 1990.



<h2>Ward on Saleh’s hiring</h2>


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/andy-reids-former-chiefs-coach-joins-titans-for-2026-season"></div>

 


After a dismal season that left the franchise searching for answers, the Titans have turned to Robert Saleh to lead their rebuilding effort. Saleh arrives in Nashville with a sterling reputation, most recently serving as the architect of San Francisco 49ers‘ defense.



Ward was quick to voice his approval of the move, viewing Saleh’s arrival as a vital step in the Titans’ evolution. The young passer emphasized that this isn’t just about a change in the coaching office, but about establishing a connection that can transform the team’s fortunes in every game.



“I think it’s a great hire, especially for the team and where we want to be identity-wise, what we want to put on the field…” Ward said of Saleh. “So, I am excited to have him as my head coach, and excited to get some wins for him. It has been good getting to know him, especially him starting to learn more about me, and me learning more about him. We want to create that relationship and be able to carry it over onto the field”.

The Tennessee Titans continue to put together a very interesting staff ahead of the 2026 season. Robert Saleh is the team’s new head coach, Brian Daboll has signed on as offensive coordinator, and according to a report from Jordan Schultz, Greg Lewis will be the wide receivers coach. A key factor for Lewis was that general manager Mike Borgonzi knows him very well, as they worked together with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a>.



“Sources: The Titans have now hired Ravens WRs coach Greg Lewis as their new WRs coach. A big hire for Robert Saleh and Mike Borgonzi, who reunites with Lewis, one of the most respected in the business, after spending six seasons together in Kansas City (2017-2022).”



Lewis was the wide receivers coach with the Chiefs from 2017 to 2020 and served as running backs coach from 2021 to 2022. During that stretch, he won the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> twice, helping an impressive offense led by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a>.



<h2>Chiefs lose coach in 2026 but Titans don’t give him HC job</h2>



What is interesting about the connection between the Titans and the Chiefs is that Matt Nagy appeared to be Mike Borgonzi’s favorite to become the team’s new head coach. However, in the end he chose to sign Robert Saleh, the defensive coordinator of the 49ers.


 

 


This situation led <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid">Andy Reid</a> to let Nagy’s contract expire and find his replacement in Eric Bieniemy as offensive coordinator in Kansas City. Now, with all vacancies practically filled, it appears that Matt Nagy will not be a head coach in 2026.



Matt Nagy wanted a new opportunity after his stint with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-bears">Chicago Bears</a> as head coach from 2018 to 2021. Borgonzi seemed like the ideal ally, but in a shocking turn of events, that door has closed.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Las Vegas Raiders</a> are running out of head coaching candidates. Now, a five-time Super Bowl–winning coach has snubbed <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tom Brady</a>’s team in order to sign with a surprising AFC franchise.



There are only three teams left without a head coach, and the Raiders are one of them. Unfortunately for Las Vegas, they were hit with worrying news on Tuesday, as one of their top candidates decided to take his talents elsewhere.



NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported on Tuesday that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brian-daboll" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brian Daboll</a>—who won five Super Bowls as an assistant coach with the New England Patriots—has decided to join the Tennessee Titans as offensive coordinator. That leaves the Raiders with one fewer option in their search.



<h2>The Raiders are running out of top options</h2>



Earlier on Tuesday, it was reported that Brian Daboll was seriously considering joining the Titans, though a head coaching opportunity with the Raiders appeared more attractive on paper.



However, it seems either Tennessee made him a better offer or Las Vegas ultimately chose not to pursue him further. Daboll was widely viewed as a top candidate, especially given the possibility of reuniting with Tom Brady, with whom he won five <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowls</a> in New England.



According to NFL Media, the Raiders interviewed Brian Daboll twice. Still, talks did not progress as expected, and he will now join forces with Robert Saleh in Tennessee.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/tom-bradys-raiders-interview-former-coach-of-the-year-for-hc-vacancy"></div>


<h2>The Titans are building a strong team</h2>



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennesee-titans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Titans</a> didn’t just land one of the league’s top offensive minds in Brian Daboll—they also hired Robert Saleh as head coach, whose defensive expertise is considered elite. That combination could make Tennessee a team to watch in 2026.



With Cam Ward at quarterback, the Titans showed improvement in 2025. Now, with a strong coaching staff, a promising signal-caller, and significant cap space heading into 2026, Tennessee could look very different next season.

2026 sees the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a> in an unfamiliar position, with Patrick Mahomes facing a lengthy recovery and Andy Reid making multiple changes to his coaching staff. In the meantime, an AFC rival has already been exploring the possibility of signing coaches who worked with Mahomes or Reid.



The Tennessee Titans interviewed Matt Nagy for their head coaching opening and were seen as a realistic landing spot for the former Chiefs offensive coordinator. The Titans ended up hiring Robert Saleh though, and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/chiefs-and-andy-reid-part-ways-with-longtime-coach-and-that-could-bring-back-star-player-for-2026-season">Chiefs still parted ways with their longtime assistant coach</a>.



Now, the Titans are reportedly setting their sights on Kliff Kingsbury, who was <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Mahomes</a>‘ head coach at Texas Tech in college, for their offensive coordinator job. According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the Titans will interview both Kingsbury and Adam Stenavich―who’s been the Green Bay Packers OC since 2022―on Monday.



<h2>Matt Nagy’s options for 2026 with Chiefs tenure over</h2>



With Nagy officially gone, the Chiefs announced the return of Eric Bieniemy as offensive coordinator, a position he held from 2018 to 2022 after several years working on <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid">Reid</a>‘s coaching staff.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/07133322/kliff-kingsbury-washington-1920x1080.webp" alt="Kliff Kingsbury with headset during a game" class="wp-image-558049"></figure><figcaption>Kliff Kingsbury on the sidelines during a Washington Commanders game.</figcaption></figure>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/matt-nagy">Nagy</a> is now in a tough position, with only four head coaching openings left in the NFL. Though he was mentioned as an option for both the Las Vegas Raiders and Arizona Cardinals, his candidacy doesn’t appear to remain strong.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/chiefs-might-turn-to-6x-super-bowl-champion-coach-if-andy-reid-assistant-leaves-in-2026"></div>

 

 


As for the other teams still looking for a HC, neither the Buffalo Bills nor the Cleveland Browns are reported to be interested in Reid’s former assistant. Perhaps Nagy will have to settle with an OC job outside Kansas City, if he lands one.



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans">Titans</a> could still offer that opportunity, though it’s fair to wonder whether Nagy would accept it as their initial contact was for the bigger job. Only time will tell us what’s next for Nagy, but what we know for sure, is that 2026 won’t see him alongside Reid and Mahomes anymore.

Brian Daboll is a name to watch in the 2026 coaching cycle, with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/bills-could-sign-5x-super-bowl-champion-coach-with-tom-bradys-patriots-to-help-josh-allen-in-2026-season">Buffalo Bills considering a reunion with the 5x Super Bowl champion to help Josh Allen</a> while the Philadelphia Eagles eye him for their offensive coordinator opening.



However, it appears that the Eagles know this could be a long shot. Not only is Philadelphia aware that Daboll is more interested in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/buffalo-bills">Bills</a> HC job, but it also looks like his first alternative if Buffalo doesn’t hire him is to take the Tennessee Titans’ OC role.



“The Eagles are conducting their offensive coordinator search with the understanding that Brian Daboll wants the Bills’ head coaching job. If he doesn’t land it, Daboll is expected to wind up in Tennessee as the offensive coordinator for Cam Ward and the Titans, per sources,” NFL insider Dianna Russini of The Athletic wrote on X.



<h2>Brian Daboll’s experience with Josh Allen’s Bills</h2>



It’s safe to say that Daboll’s priority would be to have a second chance at head coaching, especially if that opportunity comes from the Bills―a team he’s already familiar with and where he can work with a quarterback of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/josh-allen">Allen</a>‘s caliber.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/21102408/brian-daboll-josh-allen-1-1920x1080.webp" alt="Brian Daboll (left) and Josh Allen before a Bills game." class="wp-image-566112"></figure><figcaption>Brian Daboll (left) and Josh Allen before a Bills game.</figcaption></figure>



Daboll succeeded as Buffalo’s offensive coordinator from 2018 to 2021, unlocking Allen’s best version and helping the quarterback become the NFL star he is today. In fact, his impressive job with the Bills allowed <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brian-daboll">Daboll</a> to get his first head coaching opportunity with the New York Giants, helming the Big Apple team from 2022 until his firing early in 2025.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/bills-secure-3x-super-bowl-champion-with-patrick-mahomes-chiefs-for-2026-to-continue-helping-josh-allen"></div>


His offensive mind is now drawing interest around the league, and the possibility of overseeing the Bills might be the most exciting option this year. But if Buffalo takes another direction, Daboll will still have options, though not many as head coach.



<h2>Eagles and Titans OC jobs emerge as alternative options for Daboll</h2>



Instead, he would have to settle with returning to the NFL as an OC. In that scenario, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles">Eagles</a> are an appealing destination with an offense led by Jalen Hurts that won the Super Bowl last year.



However, even though the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans">Titans</a> are a work in progress, Daboll also has reasons to consider a move to Nashville. With defensive-minded head coach Robert Saleh taking the reins for 2026, Tennessee is building for the future around 2025 first overall pick Cam Ward, and Daboll’s input could help the team in its quest for prominence.



It may be a bit soon to tell, as Daboll currently has multiple options on the table. A reunion with Allen on the Bills will probably be priority, but if it doesn’t materialize, Daboll will still have interesting alternatives for 2026.

It’s still too early in the offseason for the Kansas City Chiefs, but one thing is for certain: their coaching staff will look different next year. Even though head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/andy-reid-confirms-if-hes-leaving-chiefs-for-another-team-in-2026-season-with-clear-message">Andy Reid made it clear he isn’t going anywhere in 2026</a>, the rumors about potential departures around him are starting to become real.



Recently, Chiefs defensive quality control coach Louie Addazio <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/chiefs-coach-confirms-hes-leaving-andy-reid-for-another-team-in-2026">confirmed he’s leaving Reid for another team</a> to return to college football with the University of Nevada Las Vegas Rebels. Before that, Kansas City saw assistant defensive line coach Alex Whittingham pack the bags to join his father Kyle at the University of Michigan.



Now, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/chiefs-confirm-they-could-lose-coach-in-2026-as-andy-reid-assistants-officially-interview-to-join-another-team">Chiefs know that they could definitely lose more coaches with assistants interviewing</a> for head coaching jobs. Offensive coordinator Matt Nagy has officially spoken with multiple AFC teams, which shows that he’s seriously considering his options outside Kansas City.



Shortly after the Tennessee Titans announced Nagy and Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo were among multiple HC candidates they’ve recently interviewed, the Baltimore Ravens confirmed Nagy talked to them too.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/07102006/matt-nagy-chiefs-1920x1080.webp" alt="Matt Nagy gestures during a Chiefs game." class="wp-image-557823"></figure><figcaption>Matt Nagy gestures during a Chiefs game.</figcaption></figure>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/matt-nagy">Nagy</a> has even drawn interest from Chiefs AFC West rivals Las Vegas Raiders, who are looking for a new head coach after a one-year experience with Pete Carroll. In the NFC, the Arizona Cardinals also requested permission to speak with Nagy.



<h2>Nagy might be looking to leave his own mark without Reid, Chiefs</h2>


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/chiefs-reportedly-part-ways-with-andy-reid-coach-ahead-of-2026-nfl-season"></div>

 

 


With his contract as offensive coordinator expiring this offseason, Nagy is entertaining the possibility of working as a head coach in the NFL again. His previous experience at the helm of the Chicago Bears (2018-2021) left him with a sour taste, having gone winless in two playoff appearances.



Nagy has been put in a great position to run a successful offense with Patrick Mahomes under center in the last few years, but after many seasons under <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid">Reid</a>‘s wing, it appears that he wants to fly on his own again. Or at least he’s evaluating the options to do so.



<h2>Names to watch for potential Chiefs OC opening</h2>



Reid isn’t standing on his assistants’ way, and with Nagy already speaking with multiple teams—most of them from the same conference, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Chiefs</a> fans can’t help but wonder who their next offensive coordinator might be.



Kliff Kingsbury, who coached Mahomes at Texas Tech and had a successful season as OC for the Washington Commanders in 2024, is a big name in the open market. Eric Bienemy, currently running backs coach for the Chicago Bears, could also emerge as a potential candidate after overseeing the Chiefs offense from 2018-2022. For now this is just hypothetic, but with Nagy showing real interest in other positions, it could become a realistic scenario in Kansas City.

After a disappointing 5-12 finish to the 2025 NFL campaign, the Cleveland Browns showed Kevin Stefanski the exit. Now, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders">Shedeur Sanders</a> and company await confirmation on who will be the next head coach in The Land. However, the latest report suggests a top candidate may be headed elsewhere.



Since being fired by the Miami Dolphins, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-mcdaniel">Mike McDaniel</a> has become one of the hottest names in the NFL’s coaching carousel. Though many teams—mostly contenders—view him as an offensive coordinator, others believe McDaniel can be a good fit as head coach.



On that note, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns">Browns</a> have shown interest in the offensive guru to replace <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kevin-stefanski">Stefanski</a>. However, a report hints that another franchise with a young star at the quarterback position might have cut in line ahead of Cleveland. That team would be none other than the Tennessee Titans, who can only salivate at the thought of having Cam Ward command a McDaniel-type offense.



“The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans">Titans</a> plan to interview former Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel for their vacant HC position. This is the first known interview for McDaniel, who also has interest from other teams including Cleveland for their HC job,” as reported by NFL insider Jordan Schultz.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/12/07105910/mcdaniel-metlife-1920x1080.webp" alt="Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel before a game against the Jets at MetLife Stadium." class="wp-image-541031"></figure><figcaption>Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel before a game against the Jets at MetLife Stadium.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>McDaniel draws interest from Detroit</h2>



Since his exit from Miami, the rumor mill around McDaniel has been loud. Along with several reports, a strong buzz has emerged indicating he could become the new offensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions. In more ways than one, that move could make a lot of sense for both parties involved.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/lamar-jacksons-ravens-interviewed-former-shedeur-sanders-coach-as-possible-replacement-for-john-harbaugh"></div>


Obviously, McDaniel may be reluctant to become an assistant coach after being at the helm of an organization for the past four years in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>. However, there are much worse spots to be in than being the offensive coordinator for one of the most star-studded units in the league. 



<h2>Why being an OC could be just what McDaniel needs?</h2>



During his time with the Dolphins, McDaniel was mostly criticized for clock-management miscues and his overall handling of the roster, but there were few concerns about his ability to come up with creative and effective plays. 



Doing so with an offense featuring the consistency of Jared Goff at quarterback, the speed-and-power one-two punch of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, the reliable hands of Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams’ second-to-none after-the-catch skills, Isaac Teslaa’s ability to come down with any catch, Sam LaPorta’s skill set, and an offensive line known for its dynamism, the sky is truly the limit for McDaniel as offensive coordinator in the 313.



It might be the perfect win-win scenario. Dan Campbell and the Lions need to flip the script after their disappointing season, while proving they can still thrive without Ben Johnson. For McDaniel, some might say becoming an offensive coordinator would be a downgrade, but it could provide him with the perfect opportunity to showcase the best of himself and earn another head-coaching opportunity further down the road. After all, he is one of the youngest minds in the NFL.

The offseason has just started for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/chiefs-officially-lose-longtime-coach-in-2026-as-andy-reid-assistant-joins-another-team">Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs, yet they have already lost a longtime coach for 2026</a>. But the coaching staff could suffer even bigger changes in the next few weeks.



On Saturday, the Chiefs found out that assistant defensive line coach Alex Whittingham is leaving <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid">Reid</a> and company after eight seasons to join his father, Kyle, at the University of Michigan to serve as the Wolverines’ linebackers coach.



That came before the regular season finale against the Las Vegas Raiders. And only a day after the Week 18 loss, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Chiefs</a> received interview requests for two of the most important members of Reid’s staff.



On Monday, Jordan Schultz of FOX reported that the Tennessee Titans requested to interview Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy. Only a few minutes later, Schultz added that the Titans also requested to speak with Steve Spagnuolo, who has been Kansas City’s defensive coordinator since 2019.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20260105_BUS_556896_andy-reid-steve-spagnuolo_cb5f9f8d.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Steve Spagnuolo and Andy Reid" class="wp-image-542662"></figure><figcaption>Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo talking with head coach Andy Reid.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>The connection between Reid’s Chiefs coaching staff and the Titans</h2>



With his contract expiring this offseason, Nagy was expected to draw interest from other teams once the season concluded. And the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/chiefs-matt-nagy-reportedly-emerges-as-a-head-coach-candidate-for-the-titans">Titans emerged as a strong suitor for Nagy</a> in the last few days.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/chiefs-officially-part-ways-with-a-quarterback-in-2026-before-patrick-mahomes-returns"></div>


Mike Borgonzi is entering his second year as the Titans general manager, and having worked for the Chiefs on several scouting and executive roles from 2009 to 2024, it makes sense he’s looking at familiar faces to build a new era in Nashville. Besides, we’re talking about coaches with whom Borgonzi celebrated multiple Super Bowl wins already.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/matt-nagy">Nagy</a> is seen as the strongest candidate for the Titans’ opening as the team might prefer to hire an offensive-minded coach to develop quarterback Cam Ward, but the front office’s interest in a coach with a defensive approach like Spagnuolo shows that Borgonzi is keeping his options wide open.



<h2>Titans not looking at Reid’s Chiefs only</h2>



In fact, Nagy and Spagnuolo are not the only targets for the Titans. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network added that Tennessee also requested to interview Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph as well as Indianapolis Colts DC Lou Anarumo.



This might give Reid and the Chiefs a reason for optimism. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans">Titans</a> will have to wait until Wednesday to start their interviews though, so the next few days might bring uncertainty to Kansas City until Tennessee makes a decision. In the meantime, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/andy-reid-shares-bold-message-for-matt-nagy-steve-spagnuolo-to-hear-as-chiefs-could-lose-coaches-in-2026">Reid shared a bold message for Nagy and Spagnuolo to hear</a> with an optimistic take on the Chiefs’ future.

Surprisingly one of the best divisions in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> this season, the AFC South ended the regular season with two divisional matchups. The Houston Texans faced the Indianapolis Colts while the Jacksonville Jaguars played the Tennessee Titans.



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacksonville-jaguars" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jaguars</a> destroyed the Titans 41-7 to secure the divisional title. Meanwhile, the Texans and Colts had a much better game that was decided in the final seconds of the game. It ended 38-30 in favor of Houston. These are the AFC South final standings:



<ol><li>Jacksonville Jaguars (13-4)</li><li><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-texans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Houston Texans</a> (12-5)</li><li>Indianapolis Colts (8-9)</li><li>Tennessee Titans (3-14)</li></ol>



<h2>The Texans and Jaguars are red-hot coming into the playoffs</h2>



The Jacksonville Jaguars are the dark horse in the AFC but Houston is not far behind that statement. The Texans will have a road game in the Wild Card round against the winner of Baltimore vs. Pittsburgh on Sunday Night Football. Despite it being an away game, the likelihood is they will be the favorites. They come into the playoffs with a nine-game win streak.

Jacksonville is riding an eight-game win streak and will have a home game against either the Chargers (who they already beat) or the Bills. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trevor-lawrence" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trevor Lawrence</a> is playing his best football and he ended Week 18 with a 22/30 completion for 255 yards and three touchdowns. Oh, and by the way, the Jaguars might have the best kicker in the NFL in Cam Little, who is slamming 67-yarders like it’s nothing.

<h2>The AFC South could be prominent in the playoffs once again</h2>



The last time an AFC South team was close to getting to a Super Bowl was in 2019, when the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Titans</a> lost in the AFC Championship Game to the Chiefs. In 2017, the Jaguars lost the conference championship to the Patriots.



To find an AFC South team on the Super Bowl, we have to go back to 2009, when the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Colts</a> lost to the Saints. To find an AFC South team winning the Super Bowl, we have to go back to the 2006 season, where the Colts beat the Bears. That was the first ring of Hall of Famer Peyton Manning.

Just minutes into the matchup between the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans">Tennessee Titans</a> and the Jacksonville Jaguars, Cam Ward opened the scoring with a rushing touchdown. However, the price of that score was steep, as the quarterback took a hard hit from a defender while going to the ground.



After heading to the locker room accompanied by members of the medical staff, Brandon Allen—listed behind Ward on the depth chart—will take over under center for the Titans at EverBank Stadium.



According to insider Tom Pelissero on X, a hard hit to one of Ward’s shoulders was the reason for his early exit, that’s why the QB was finally ruled out for the game. Unfortunately, the worst possible ending to his first <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season.



<h2>Ward’s rookie-season numbers</h2>



In his 2025 rookie season, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cam-ward">Cam Ward</a> has established himself as the franchise cornerstone for the Tennessee Titans after being selected with the No. 1 overall pick. Heading into the final week of the season, Ward has completed 59.6% of his passes for 3,117 yards, 15 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions. 



<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">Cam Ward was hurt on this play, and now has gone to the locker room. <a href="https://t.co/giF9gGrCSv">pic.twitter.com/giF9gGrCSv</a>— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href="https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/2007879171968765955?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 4, 2026</a></blockquote></div>



While he has faced significant pressure—being sacked 55 times behind a struggling offensive line—his efficiency has surged late in the year, including a current streak of four consecutive games with multiple touchdown passes.

Despite a modest 32.2 QBR, his development has been the primary bright spot for a 3-13 Titans team looking to build around his elite arm talent and improved decision-making.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a> are enduring a disappointing season by their own standards, and amid the struggles, speculation around the future of offensive coordinator Matt Nagy continues to intensify as options across the NFL begin to narrow, and now with the Tennesse Titans.



One of the hottest storylines around the league involves coordinators interviewing for head coaching positions. According to NFL Network reporter Tom Pelissero, Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy is expected to interview with the Tennessee Titans as they continue their search for a new head coach.



The Titans are aiming to reshape and modernize their football operations, and hiring a new head coach is a central piece of that plan. Nagy is reportedly among a group of candidates that includes Mike McCarthy, Jeff Hafley, Jesse Minter, Robert Saleh, and Chris Shula.



Tennessee owner Amy Adams Strunk previously announced changes to the leadership structure, redefining the responsibilities of president of football operations Chad Brinker and general manager Mike Borgonzi. Borgonzi, a former member of the Chiefs’ front office, now holds full control over the roster and is leading the search for the franchise’s next head coach.

<h2>Head Coach vacancy in Tennessee</h2>



Former head coach Brian Callahan was dismissed early in the season, ending his stint in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans">Tennessee</a> with a 4–19 record and only one home win in less than two full seasons, prompting the organization to reset its direction.

<h2>Nagy’s previous head coaching pursuits</h2>



This is not the first time <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/matt-nagy">Nagy</a> has been linked to head coaching opportunities. He interviewed for vacancies with the New York Jets and the New Orleans Saints last year, after previously serving as head coach of the Chicago Bears from 2018 to 2022.



Despite reaching the playoffs twice during his four <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> seasons in Chicago, the Bears’ offense struggled to maintain consistency. That stretch included back to back 8–8 finishes and a final 6–11 campaign in 2021, leading to Nagy’s departure with a 34–31 regular season record before he returned to the Kansas City Chiefs’ coaching staff.

Two NFL teams, already out of playoff contention, clash today in a matchup that fans are eager to witness, particularly to see <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chris-olave" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chris Olave</a> take the field for the New Orleans Saints against the Tennessee Titans.



Chris Olave has not yet confirmed if he will play for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-orleans-saints" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Saints</a> against the Titans in NFL Week 17, as he is currently listed as questionable on the team’s latest injury report. He is dealing with a back injury, but a report from NFL insider Ian Rapoport indicates that he “should be full go with no restrictions on Sunday.”



Despite having little at stake apart from pride, the Saints aim to improve their standing in the regular season, standing at 5-10. With the potential addition of Olave on the field, they could pose a challenge to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Titans</a> today.



Meanwhile, the Titans, with a 3-12 record in the regular season, are looking to end this part of the season with a victory. Such an outcome could occur today against the Saints or possibly next week against the Jacksonville Jaguars, a team that has already secured a spot in the next round.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tennessee Titans</a> appear to have found their quarterback for the future. Cam Ward has shown promise this year, but he hasn’t had consistent receivers. Calvin Ridley is recovering from a broken fibula, leaving tight end Chig Okonkwo, Chimere Dike, Elic Ayomanor and Gunnar Helm as Ward’s top targets.&nbsp;



The Titans come off a dominating 26-9 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 16, with Ward going 21 of 28 for 228 yards and two touchdowns. He connected with Ayomanor (58 yards on three receptions), Okonkwo (44 yards and one touchdown on six receptions) and Chimere Dike (40 yards and one touchdown on three receptions).&nbsp;



After firing Brian Callahan earlier this season, they will search for a new head coach in the offseason. Additionally, they would try to bring a new WR1 to replace Ridley.&nbsp;



<h2>George Pickens could end up with Cam Ward, Titans</h2>



Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton detailed the multiple paths Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens could have in the 2025 offseason. The Titans would be among the options for the former Pittsburgh Steelers wideout.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251227_BUS_551691_george-pickens-1_5d1c07eb.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="George Pickens #3 of the Dallas Cowboys" class="wp-image-531356"></figure><figcaption>George Pickens #3 of the Dallas Cowboys</figcaption></figure>



“Despite an underwhelming pass-catching group, rookie quarterback Cam Ward has shown promise in recent weeks, throwing for six touchdowns and just one interception in his last three outings. Pickens may not have Tennessee circled as a primary destination among his desired landing spots, but he may consider it given Ward’s progress and the potential target volume atop the Titans’ depth chart,” he wrote. 



George Pickens is having the best season of his four-year NFL career. He has caught 88 passes for 1,342 yards and nine touchdowns in Dallas.&nbsp;

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kansas City Chiefs</a> are no longer an NFL powerhouse. In fact, they are eliminated from playoff contention. There is not much to be excited for them as they face the Tennessee Titans in Week 16 of the NFL season. However, if a certain pop star called Taylor Swift is in attendance, at least there’s an allure to the game.



As tight end Travis Kelce might be playing his last snaps in the NFL before retiring, one must wonder if his fiancé <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/taylor-swift" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Taylor Swift</a> will attend the game against the Titans even if it’s an away game. Swift hasn’t attended away games this season, so it would be a first shall it happen.



As of now, there are no signs of Swift going to the game. However, if there is an away game Swift might want to go to, it’s the Titans. Why? She lived in Hendersonville, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tennessee</a> and she launched her career there, with a country music approach. Hence, she has ties with the city. 



<h2>Swift is an avid football fan, but also a very busy woman</h2>



While the Eras Tour already ended, Swift just launched a new album. Hence, this comes with plenty of things to attend to and more social commitments. If that’s the reason why she hasn’t attended much games this season it’s not confirmed, but it might well be.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Taylor Swift at Arrowhead Stadium <a href="https://t.co/55SqoZd6da">pic.twitter.com/55SqoZd6da</a>— Taylor Swift in 4k (@4k_taylorrr) <a href="https://twitter.com/4k_taylorrr/status/1977565024865615922?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 13, 2025</a></blockquote></div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



Swift is characteristically explosive when in the stadium. She is an avid, passionate fan. She has gotten the football grasp and is somewhat of a beloved character in Kansas City now.

<h2>Wedding plans might be truly on the way</h2>



With <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/travis-kelce" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kelce</a> hinting more and more to a retirement, and the fact that him and Swift are engaged, one could assume the wedding is really on its way. In the end, Kelce will have plenty of time to help with the wedding arrangements.

The<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Tennessee Titans</a> are already planning the 2026 NFL season after an underwhelming 2025 campaign in which just a few things went their way. They found their quarterback, Cam Ward, but the season’s development showed they still have a lot of work to do to put the former Miami star in a position to consistently contend.&nbsp;



Brian Callahan was fired seven games into the season, confirming that the Titans are years away from putting together a competitive team. That could change this offseason if they make the right moves. They need to find the right person to lead the project, develop Ward, and assemble a solid team around him.&nbsp;



Ward has shown his maturity this year, and he isn’t done taking on more responsibilities ahead of his second season in the league.



<h2>Cam Ward wants to meet every Titans HC candidate&nbsp;</h2>



As part of his continued evolution, Ward revealed he wants to be involved in the coach-hiring process. The 2025 No. 1 pick said on Wednesday that he hopes to meet whoever the team brings into the building as a head coach prospect.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251221_BUS_549143_cam-ward-1_bb7cd61e.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Cam Ward" class="wp-image-451239" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Cam Ward #1 of the Tennessee Titans</figcaption></figure>



“I want to meet all of them,” Ward said of the next candidates, via ESPN. “Every coach who gets the opportunity to come here, I want to have conversations throughout the process with them. I’m going to be here for that whole time.”



The Titans have won only two games this season, while dealing with multiple serious injuries on both ends of the ball. They showed glimpses of competitiveness, but it’s clear they will need more than that to challenge in the tough AFC.&nbsp;
