The Tennessee Titans‘ coaching search motors on after the disappointing news that two of their prime candidates have landed elsewhere, with John Harbaugh signing with the New York Giants and Kevin Stefanski taking the job in Atlanta. 

At this point, all that is known is that Matt Nagy and Jeff Hafley are on tap to get a second interview, and the initial interviews with Jonathan Gannon and Robert Saleh will be completed today. Mike Borgonzi and the Titans could add more names to the list and are likely to expand the pool for the second round, but no news has surfaced yet. 

That doesn’t change the fact that the Titans have missed out on two experienced coaches, leaving fans wondering about the future. Here is how they have reacted to missing out on Stefanski (and Harbaugh).
