The Tennessee Titans are once again ready to grab NFL headlines. This time it’s not a dramatic trade, but a major addition to the coaching staff. Former New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll is set to become the Titans’ new offensive coordinator. There is only one condition: the Las Vegas Raiders must pass on hiring him as their head coach. Yes, in NFL politics, the word “if” matters the most.
Hearing Daboll’s name still makes Buffalo Bills fans smile. From 2018 to 2021, he served as the Bills’ offensive coordinator, where he played a key role in transforming Josh Allen from a raw prospect into an MVP-caliber quarterback. That success earned Daboll the New York Giants head coaching job in 2022. In his very first season, the Giants made the playoffs, and New York was buzzing with talk of “Daboll magic.” But NFL fairy tales rarely last long. Over the next three seasons, the team struggled badly, and Daboll was fired last November.
Meanwhile, the Titans were not sitting idle. They are looking for someone who can inject fresh life into their offense, and all signs point to Daboll. ESPN sources have practically stamped the news as done.

In simple terms, if the Raiders say no, the Titans will say, “Welcome to Nashville.”
The fun twist is that Daboll will be teaming up with another former New York head coach, Robert Saleh, in Tennessee. Two coaches whose New York tenures were full of chaos are now getting a fresh start together in the South. Is this going to be a “two failed students topping the class together” kind of story, or is the Titans’ offense truly entering a new era?
For Daboll, this is a clear redemption arc. While his record as a head coach ended poorly, his résumé as an offensive coordinator remains rock solid. What he can cook up with the Titans’ young talent is now the big question. And even if things go wrong, fans can at least expect witty answers at press conferences—something Daboll rarely disappoints with.
Overall, this is hopeful news for Titans fans. In the NFL, a coaching change always means new dreams, new memes, and fresh trash talk. Daboll is bringing that entire package with him.
