\u201cI personally feel a sense of stability,\u201d Nihill said in an interview with ESPN<\/a> on Friday. \u201cI believe that Mike Borgonzi and Robert Saleh are ultimately going to get this team out of the woods and restore it to competitive football. The train is on the tracks. It just hasn\u2019t picked up momentum, but it will.\u201d<\/p>\n Nihill added, \u201cI can confidently say this organization is in a place where there is organizational belief in Mike, in Robert, and they absolutely have all the support they need to get this train moving and moving faster.\u201d<\/p>\n He continued, apologizing directly to the fans for the team\u2019s winless 2026.<\/p>\n \u201cThe first thing I would say back to the fans is just that we\u2019re sorry,\u201d Nihill told ESPN. \u201cThere\u2019s nobody in this building that doesn\u2019t feel \u2026 a sense of grief about it, because not only are we fans of the team as well, but we feel the sense of responsibility to deliver. And we\u2019ve let our fans down because football is supposed to be fun.\u201d <\/p>\n Saleh, who was the head coach of the Jets from 2021 to 2024, spent last season as the defensive coordinator of the 49ers prior to taking the Titans head coaching job this off-season<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re going through a lot of adversity,\u201d Saleh said. \u201cBut if we capture it the right way, we\u2019re going to find a lot of growth, and when I tell you guys that the sun is going to shine on this organization eventually, it\u2019s going to shine.\u201d<\/p>\n Head coach Robert Saleh of the Tennessee Titans looks on during the first quarter against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium on September 27, 2026 in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
