"NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- New Tennessee Titans coach Robert Saleh experienced a lot of success as a defensive coordinator working alongside San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan, one of the NFL's best offensive minds. The 49ers made a Super Bowl appearance in the 2019 season with Saleh and Shanahan leading the way before Saleh landed his first NFL head coaching position. Ultimately, Saleh's tenure with the New York Jets ended with a 20-36 record, but that wasn't because his defense wasn't good."
"After accepting the Titans job last week, Saleh hired Daboll on Tuesday and believes he is the ideal person to help Cam Ward develop into a franchise quarterback. "[Daboll] has had a history of developing young quarterbacks in this league and college, and the different stops that he's had," Saleh said. "He has a tremendous amount of experience with tremendous quarterbacks all over." The quarterbacks Daboll has worked with include Tom Brady, Brett Favre, Josh Allen and, most recently, Jaxson Dart."
Robert Saleh achieved notable defensive success as the 49ers' defensive coordinator under Kyle Shanahan, including a Super Bowl appearance in 2019. Saleh's New York Jets tenure finished 20-36 despite strong defensive metrics, with the Jets ranking fourth in total yards allowed in 2022 and third in 2023, and leading the league in fewest passing yards allowed per game before his firing after a 2-3 start. Saleh hired Brian Daboll to run the Titans' offense and develop No. 1 pick Cam Ward. Daboll's quarterback resume includes Tom Brady, Brett Favre, Josh Allen, Jaxson Dart, Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa. Ward passed for 3,169 yards as a rookie and showed improved touchdown-to-interception production after the Week 10 bye.
