New Tennessee Titans<\/a> head coach Robert Saleh and the front office are working to assemble his initial staff, and names of potential offensive coordinator candidates continue to roll out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The latest insider to release a list of potential candidates is Tom Pelissero, who reports that Saleh is vetting Kliff Kingsbury, Arthur Smith, Brian Daboll, Adam Stenavich, and Bobby Slowik for the position.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While there were really no surprises on the list, it does confirm some of the reporting from other insiders over the past few days.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Titans Wire covered our list of candidates<\/a>, but failed to mention Stenavich in our ranking. Currently the offensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers<\/a>, he is a rising star in coaching ranks and was prominently mentioned throughout the season as a potential head coaching candidate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Stenavich does not call plays for the Packers and could come to Nashville to add that to his resume, but he should understand the intricacies of a high-powered offense featuring an athletic quarterback. Although at this point in the search, he would appear to be the dark horse candidate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
