Another day, another former Tennessee Titans coach has found a new home in the league. NFL Insider Tom Pelissero reports the Las Vegas Raiders are hiring Titans’ former interim head coach Mike McCoy to be an experienced presence on new coach Klint Kubiak’s staff. 

McCoy is a quality coach, and his experience should benefit Kubiak in his first stint as an NFL head coach. He proved his worth with the Titans in 2025. Thrust into the interim head coaching role when the team parted ways with Brian Callahan, he did a respectable job at steadying the ship and had Tennessee playing some of its best football down the stretch. 

Reports indicate that McCoy will serve as an assistant head coach with the Raiders, bringing over 23 years of NFL coaching experience, including two head-coaching stints (Titans and Los Angeles Chargers), to the Raiders staff. McCoy does have a connection to Kubiak, spending part of the 2017 season with him on Gary Kubiak’s staff with the Denver Broncos. 

McCoy is the latest former Titans coach to be hired by a new organization, joining Brian Callahan, Frank Bush, Tyke Tolbert, Bo Hardegree, and Bill Callahan as coaches who have found new jobs during this coaching cycle.
