Two failed New York head coaches are hoping they can find success together in Nashville.
Brian Daboll, fired as the Giants’ head coach in November, has agreed to become new Titans head coach and ex-Jets boss Robert Saleh’s offensive coordinator, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Tuesday.
The deal is contingent upon Daboll not getting the Raiders’ head coaching job, Schefter added. Daboll has interviewed twice for the Las Vegas job.
The Jets gave Saleh his first head coaching gig in 2021, but he was fired five games into his fourth season after accruing a 20-36 record.
He returned to his previous post as 49ers defensive coordinator this season before getting the Titans gig.
Daboll, 50, was hired by the Giants one year after Saleh came to town and quickly got Big Blue back to the playoffs and winning a wild-card game.
But the Giants then went backwards, going 6-11 in 2023 and 3-14 in 2024 before Daboll got the pink slip at 2-8 this season, finishing with a 20-40-1 record.
