Robert Saleh plans to call the defensive plays

Story byJimmy MorrisTue, January 20, 2026 at 2:53 PM UTC·1 min readJordan Schultz is reporting that new Tennessee Titans head coach Robert Saleh has been telling teams in the interview process that he plans to call the defensive plays at his next stop. That’s an interesting development. The last head coach we had here also started out as the playcaller, albeit on the other side of the ball.

Key Highlights

  • That didn’t go so well. I’d prefer that Saleh hire a defensive coordinator whom he trusts to call the plays.
  • The head coach has a lot of responsibilities on game day without having to worry about the right call on a pivotal third and four in the fourth quarter.

  • They have really leaned into the analytics side of the game over the last few years.
  • That should make some in-game decisions automated. This also makes the offensive coordinator hire that much more important for Saleh.
  • If he can get someone like Mike McDaniel as his OC, he won’t have as much to worry about when the offense is on the field.
