Cam Ward is looking forward to a little tough love from Brian Daboll. Getty Images<\/p>\nCam Ward wants to be coached hard. <\/p>\n
Coming off a promising rookie season, Ward comes into Year 2 with new voices in his ear, as Robert Saleh takes over as head coach and Brian Daboll jumps in at the offensive coordinator spot.<\/p>\n
Neither is afraid to speak their feelings, and Ward is ready for it \u2013\u2013 especially when it\u2019s coming from the former Giants head coach who played a key role in Josh Allen\u2019s during the development.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like that he is\u00a0a fiery coach,\u201d Ward said of Daboll, according to Titans.com<\/a>. \u201cHe is going to get on my ass when he needs to, and he is going to hold me to a high standard. And that\u2019s the standard I want to be held to.\u201d<\/p>\n Ward added that Daboll is \u201cgoing to let me know the real,\u201d hoping to hear the positive and negative aspects of his game. <\/p>\n Daboll is regarded as a quarterback guru based on his work with Allen and a partial season with Jaxson Dart in New York.<\/p>\n The Giants, while under Daboll, attempted to trade up to draft Ward in 2025, but Tennessee rebuffed negotiations, opting to hold onto the No. 1 pick and draft the QB out of Miami.<\/p>\n Ward was one of the lone Titans\u2019 bright spots in a 4-13 season while Daboll was cut loose by the Giants midseason.<\/p>\n Instead, Daboll was a leading voice<\/a> in the Giants\u2019 move to land Dart later in the draft, with the No. 25 pick starring as a rookie and helping Big Blue land John Harbaugh<\/a> as Daboll\u2019s replacemtn.<\/p>\n Now, Daboll joins up with Saleh \u2014 another ex-New York coach, fired by the neighboring Jets during the 2024 campaign.<\/p>\n The Titans hold the No. 4 overall pick in this year\u2019s NFL Draft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cam Ward wants to be coached hard.
