The Tennessee Titans opened their coaching search<\/a> with a Colts assistant. They also plan to look at Raheem Morris<\/a>. And here is what the Titans want in their next coach<\/a> to make sure Cam Ward<\/a> doesn\u2019t bust, according to a post on X by Jim Wyatt.<\/p>\n

\u201c@Titans GM Mike Borgonzi: Cam Ward went through a lot of adversity during rookie season. We’re looking for a coach, a staff, that can help him develop \u2026 Wants a coach that can take advantage of his strengths, help him and other players develop.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ward threw for 3,169 yards in his rookie season, totaling 15 touchdown passes and seven interceptions. The Titans managed only a 3-14 record with Ward starting all 17 games.<\/p>\n

Titans QB Cam Ward needs a coaching mentor<\/p>\n

Ward seems to have done some things to help himself,<\/a> though the adversity according to a post on X by Turron Davenport.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe battled through it, and he got better,\u201d Borgonzi said. \u201cThe coach we\u2019re looking for \u2026 is to help him develop more. And really to find a coach that can really accentuate some of the strengths of the players. You\u2019re always looking for that. We\u2019re looking for someone that can really look at Cam, and (say) this is what he does well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Borgonzi also said the Titans want a leader, not just a tough guy<\/a>, according to a post on X by Ben Authur.<\/p>\n

\u201cGM Mike Borgonzi says the Titans will be looking for a leader in their next HC, not necessarily an \u201calpha\u201d personality. Someone who is demanding and holds team accountable is important; doesn\u2019t necessarily matter whether they\u2019re loud or more quiet in how they do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Ward won\u2019t exactly be heavily involved in the coaching search, according to a post on X by Terry McCormick.<\/p>\n

\u201cBorgonzi on Cam Ward’s involvement in the coaching search: I have a lot of conversations with Cam, and sometimes he says too much. But I love Cam, he’s all ball all day. Said maybe it’s a quick hello for him once final candidates are brought in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whoever takes over will have more than Ward to improve. The Titans are considered to have one of the least-talented rosters in the NFL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Tennessee Titans opened their coaching search with a Colts assistant.
