The Tennessee Titans are finalizing an agreement to hire Robert Saleh as their head coach.
Sources told NFL.com, ESPN and The Athletic about the expected hire.
The Titans, who fired former coach Brian Callahan in October, announced Monday that Saleh and Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy were finalists for the job.
Callahan led the Titans to a 4-19 record, including a 1-5 start in 2025. The 2025 Titans totaled the second fewest yards and third fewest points in the NFL.
They allowed the fifth most points on defense.
The 49ers defense ranked 20th under Saleh. They owned the NFL’s 11th best run defense.
Saleh posted a 20-36 record in four seasons as head coach of the New York Jets from 2021 to 2024.
