Mike McCoy is headed back to the AFC West.
Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Media, the Raiders are hiring McCoy as assistant head coach.
McCoy, 53, was added to the Titans staff as senior offensive assistant in early 2025. But he then took over as interim head coach after Brian Callan was fired in October.
The Titans went 2-9 under McCoy over the rest of the season.
McCoy was previously the Chargers’ head coach for their final years in San Diego from 2013-2016. He recorded a 27-37 regular-season record with a 1-1 postseason record.
Since then, he’s been the Broncos offensive coordinator, Cardinals offensive coordinator, and Jaguars quarterbacks coach.
The Giants are hiring Titans linebackers coach Frank Bush, Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports reports.
Bush, 63, has spent the past two seasons as the Titans’ linebackers coach. He helped Cedric Gray rank fourth in the NFL with 164 tackles in 2025.
Bush has 33 years of NFL coaching experience.
He began his career with the team he played for, the Houston Oilers, in 1993. He has also coached the linebackers for the Broncos (1995-96), Cardinals (2004-06), Titans (2011-12), Rams (2013-16), Dolphins (2017-18), Jets (2019-20), Falcons (2021-23). He coached the secondary and special teams for the Broncos in 2000-03 and was a senior defensive assistant with the Texans (2007-08) before becoming their defensive coordinator (2009-10).
He was the interim defensive coordinator for the Jets in 2020.
The Giants hired Matt Nagy as their offensive coordinator and another former NFL head coach is in the mix to be their quarterback coach.
Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that the Giants will interview Brian Callahan for that position on John Harbaugh’s coaching staff.
Callahan was fired by the Titans six games into the 2025 season. That was his second season as the head coach in Tennessee and he went 4-19 before being dismissed.
Prior to being hired by the Titans, Callahan spent five seasons as the Bengals’ offensive coordinator. He was the quarterback coach for the Raiders and Lions before landing that position and will have a role in helping to develop 2025 first-round pick Jaxson Dart if he lands the role with the Giants.
Titans head coach Robert Saleh said that he believes offensive coordinator Brian Daboll is the “perfect man to match up” with quarterback Cam Ward as the team works to continue developing the 2025 first-round pick after a strong finish to his rookie season.
Ward feels the same way, even if it means that he’s going to hear some blunt criticism from time to time. Ward said that Daboll “is going to let me know the real” whether it is positive or negative and that he’ll welcome hearing tough things because it will help him get to where he wants to go in the NFL.
“I like that he is a fiery coach,” Ward said, via the team’s website. “He is going to get on my ass when he needs to, and he is going to hold me to a high standard. And that’s the standard I want to be held to.”
The Ward-Daboll pairing will be crucial to Saleh’s success in his tenure with the Titans and anything that needs to happen to make it a successful one should be on the table as the team moves toward the 2026 season.
Gus Bradley is following Robert Saleh to Tennessee.
Via Paul reporter Paul Kuharsky, the Titans are hiring Bradley as the team’s defensive coordinator.
Bradley, 59, spent the 2025 season as San Francisco’s assistant head coach with Saleh the team’s defensive coordinator. After his stint as Jacksonville’s head coach from 2013-2016, Bradley has served as defensive coordinator of the Chargers (2017-2020), Raiders (2021), and Colts (2022-2024).
Unlike his first stint as a head coach with the Jets, Saleh said he plans to call Tennessee’s defensive plays in 2026.
