The Tennessee Titans<\/a> were the first team to make a change at head coach during the 2025 NFL season after firing Brian Callahan<\/a> following a 1-5 start. For much of the season, the team and its fan base have been looking forward to the offseason.<\/p>\n

Tennessee won two of its last five games and will have a top-five pick in the upcoming draft once again. Callahan’s firing did not affect general manager Mike Borgonzi, who remains with the team for a second season.<\/p>\n

The question now is who Borgonzi and No. 1 overall quarterback Cam Ward will work with as head coach. Per multiple<\/a> reports<\/a>, the franchise has narrowed its search down to three candidates: Green Bay Packers<\/a> defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley, Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy and San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh.<\/p>\n

The team is scheduled to meet with all three candidates over the next 48 hours, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport<\/a>, starting with Nagy tomorrow morning. Saleh will be interviewed again in the afternoon and Hafley on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
