The Tennessee Titans found their new head coach<\/a> after months of research and seemingly an interminable list of candidates<\/a>. Who will be on Robert Saleh\u2019s inaugural Tennessee Titans offensive staff as he embarks on his first season in Nashville?<\/p>\n

Tennessee Titans Fill Out Offensive Staff Under New Head Coach
\nAdditions
\nOC Brian Daboll<\/p>\n

The offensive staff hiring party started with a bang when it was announced that former New York Giants<\/a> head coach Brian Daboll had filled the offensive coordinator role. Insider Jordan Schultz initially reported the news of Daboll\u2019s impending arrival:<\/p>\n

BREAKING: The #Titans<\/a> have received a commitment from Brian Daboll to become their OC, per multiple sources. He\u2019s in Nashville now to sign.<\/p>\n

Daboll was the second head coach fired<\/a> during the season after leading the Giants for over three seasons. He owns a head coaching record of 20-40-1 with New York, leading the storied franchise to one playoff game. The well-traveled assistant has served under Nick Saban and Bill Belichick throughout his tenure. He received his first coaching job from Saban in 1999, serving as a graduate assistant at Michigan State. Daboll went from one GOAT to another, landing with the New England Patriots<\/a> in 2000. He was promoted to receivers coach in 2002. After leaving the Patriots, he meandered through the lawless deserts of losing football with the New York Jets<\/a>, Miami Dolphins,<\/a> and Cleveland Browns.<\/a> The current Titans offensive coordinator crossed over with GM Mike Borgonzi during the 2012 season. After serving three seasons back with the Patriots, Saban named him the OC at Alabama in 2017.<\/p>\n

Under Saban\u2019s watch, he mentored two NFL starting quarterbacks and managed to dance around the burning question of Tua Tagovailoa and Jalen Hurts<\/a>. He then moved to the Buffalo Bills,<\/a> where he developed Josh Allen into the terrifying, perennial MVP candidate he is today. Daboll receives credit for Allen\u2019s ascension from franchise hopeful to franchise savior.<\/p>\n

Quarterbacks Coach Shea Tierney<\/p>\n

The #Titans<\/a> are hiring Shea Tierney as QB coach, sources say. Tierney served in the same role on Brian Daboll\u2019s coaching staff, working with Daniel Jones, Jaxson Dart, Tommy DeVito, Russell Wilson, and more. <\/p>\n

Now, Tierney is tasked with getting the most of Cam Ward. pic.twitter.com\/iDitLCzB3A<\/a><\/p>\n

The coach with whom Cam Ward must develop the most significant relationship is the new quarterbacks coach, Shea Tierney. He began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at NC State in 2011. Tierney earned a promotion to the big leagues in 2012 as an offensive intern with the Eagles. He latched onto the Daboll tree when both coached at Alabama in 2027. Both men appear to be inseparable and tied together at the hip, having been so, even with multiple stops. The newest quarterbacks coach played a role in developing Daniel Jones and Jaxon Dart, among others. He takes over for the departed Bo Hardegree, who took over playcalling once Brian Callahan<\/a> no longer fit in the Titans\u2019 long-term designs.<\/p>\n

Wide Receivers Coach Greg Lewis<\/p>\n

Sources: The #Titans<\/a> have now hired #Ravens<\/a> WRs coach Greg Lewis as their new WRs coach. <\/p>\n

A big hire for Robert Saleh and Mike Borgonzi, who reunites with Lewis \u2014 one of the most respected in the business \u2014 after spending six seasons together in Kansas City (2017-2022). https:\/\/t.co\/jaMffo6pam<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/AQ0Y71uDU6<\/a><\/p>\n

Lewis played collegiately at Illinois before spending eight seasons in the league as a player for three different franchises, amassing 1,992 yards and eight touchdowns. He began his coaching career at the University of San Diego in 2013 and reached the NFL in 2015 with New Orleans. The former NFL receiver tasted his greatest success coaching receivers and then running backs for the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>, where he crossed over with GM Mike Borgonzi. He then left the Chiefs to coach receivers for another AFC superpower, Baltimore, in 2023. The receivers he counts as pupils are big, such as Tyreek Hill, Brandin Cooks, Sammy Watkins, Zay Flowers, and Rashod Bateman. He has two Super Bowl rings and a stellar reputation<\/a> as a receivers coach.<\/p>\n

Offensive Line Coach Carmen Bricillo<\/p>\n

My understanding was as of this morning OL coach Carmen Bricillo was expected to join Brian Daboll in Tennessee. Others from Daboll’s Giants offensive staff as well.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Jordan Raanan (@JordanRaanan) January 28, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n

Bricillo possesses several ties to the Titans organization after having crossed over with Assistant GM Dave Ziegler twice in his career. He previously served as offensive line coach with the Giants during the past two seasons under Daboll. The former Patriots\u2019 offensive line coach<\/a> earned the title after the legendary Dante Sarnecchia retired, following the 2020 season. He coached the Giants\u2019 offensive line to great success in 2025, developing the embattled Andrew Thomas into one of the best tackles in the league. New York\u2019s offensive line allowed only 17 sacks, while the Titans\u2019 unit allowed 55 sacks on Cam Ward. Clearly, there\u2019s room to improve in Nashville, and Bricillo is expected to provide the tonic to Tennessee\u2019s woes. There is talent in the Titans\u2019 OL room like Peter Skoronski, JC Latham, and Dan Moore; it just has to come together.<\/p>\n

Retentions<\/p>\n

Luke Stocker (TEs), Randy Jordan (RBs) and Tony Oden (CBs) are all being retained by Robert Saleh. #Titans<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Running Backs Coach Randy Jordan
\nTight Ends Coach Luke Stocker<\/p>\n

Both coaches were retained by Coach Saleh after their tremendous work under the previous regime. Jordan helped Tony Pollard attain his second consecutive 1,000-yard season in Nashville behind an abysmal offensive line. He comes with an excellent reputation for developing running backs into stars like Pollard and Gio Bernard. Interestingly, he\u2019s a Bill Callahan acolyte, having served under him at numerous stops. Jordan played college football at UNC. Stocker is an ascending coach who played collegiately at the University of Tennessee before embarking on a 12-year career, which included two stints in Nashville. He\u2019s on the Arthur Smith path of working his way up the ranks from the tight end group. Stocker coached through the Vrabel, Callahan, and now Saleh administrations, becoming the full-time tight ends coach in 2024.<\/p>\n
