Less than a week after Robert Saleh relieved defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson of his job with the Tennessee Titans, the former coach looks like he has found a soft landing spot with a familiar head coach.
After interviewing with the Los Angeles Chargers and Washington Commanders, Jordan Schultz reports that Wilson will be joining John Harbaugh with the New York Giants, reuniting the two after they spent two seasons (2022-2023) together in Baltimore.
During those two seasons, Wilson served as the Ravens‘ defensive backs coach, and Baltimore finished the regular season with a triple crown NFL record, becoming the first team in history to lead the league in points allowed (16.5 per game), sacks (60), and takeaways (31) with him on the staff.

This will be Wilson’s second go-round as a defensive coordinator, and he will look to have more success than he did with the Titans, where the lack of depth and top-end talent was easily exposed in multiple games throughout his tenure.
