Rutenberg has a long history working with new Titans head coach Robert Saleh, most recently coaching the linebackers with the New York Jets when Saleh was the head coach there. Rutenberg also worked with Saleh in San Francisco with the Niners before he brought him along with him to New York. He should be considered a favorite for the job in Tennessee because of his history with Saleh. Additionally, the Falcons&#8217; defense ranked 13th in EPA per drop back allowed and 12th in passing yards allowed per game during the 2025 season under Rutenberg.&#8211;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoballer.com\/author\/keithghernandezgmail-com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Keith Hernandez<\/a><br \/>Source: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JFowlerESPN\/status\/2015403425685516604\" rel=\"nofollow\">ESPN.com &#8211; Jeremy Fowler<\/a>                <\/p>\n<p>        <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Titans Request to Interview Mike Rutenberg for Defensive-Coordinator Job Share: Link copied to clipboard!
