The Tennessee Titans have secured the number one overall pick in the NFL draft and face numerous questions for the future. This season, veteran Mason Rudolph and young quarterback Will Levis divided time as the starting quarterback, contributing to the team’s disappointing 3-14 record. After such a lackluster season, a new quarterback is likely to be chosen first overall, but significant changes are imminent within the organization. The Titans have already appointed a new general manager, and according to a prominent league insider, a new coach has also arrived in Tennessee.
“Sources: The Titans are hiring former Cowboys STC John Fassel as their new Special Teams Coordinator. Colt Anderson was informed he’s out. With Mike McCarthy out in Dallas, Fassel was free to explore opportunities and now heads to Tennessee. His special teams units consistently ranked among the NFL’s best,” reported FOX Sports’ Jordan Schultz.

Fans have been vocal on social media regarding this news. One San Francisco 49ers supporter remarked, “49ers have no special teams coordinator and don’t hire the best one on the market. Kyle Shanahan is truly a historic choker bozo.” In contrast, a former Oakland Raiders reporter stated, “John was the best Special Teams Coordinator we had during my years with the Raiders (and I was there almost 30 years).” Another fan weighed in, “Good luck to the Commanders, Eagles, Bills & Chiefs. You better win it now because, at this rate, the Titans might win the next 10.” A Titans fan optimistically declared, “Superbowl run is off to a great start. We are so back!” It remains to be seen how quickly the Titans can turn things around.
