While many are waiting on John Harbaugh to announce whether or not he will interview with the Tennessee Titans<\/a> for their head coaching vacancy, the Titans quietly added another name to the mix. And it’s another defensive-minded candidate.<\/p>\n \u200bNFL Insider Ian Rapoport reports that Tennessee will interview former Arizona Cardinals<\/a> head coach Jonathan Gannon on Sunday for the head coaching position.<\/p>\n Gannon is an interesting and surprising candidate, having been a successful defensive coordinator with the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> in 2021-22 before taking the Cardinals’ job in 2023. During that period, the Eagles ranked second in the league in total yards and were in the top 10 in multiple categories.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, his tenure with the Cardinals did not see the same success. He finished with a 15-26 record and zero playoff appearances in three seasons at the helm, including matching the Titans’ record at 3-14 in 2025. Gannon will also interview with the Dallas Cowboys and the Washington Commanders<\/a> for their open defensive coordinator positions this week.<\/p>\n \u200bThe addition of Gannon now expands the Titans’ search to 18 candidates, with 10 interviews still on tap.<\/p>\n
