Robert Saleh, the newly hired head coach of the Tennessee Titans, has outlined some key differences in his approach compared to his previous stint as head coach of the New York Jets. Saleh, who was fired by the Jets after two seasons, is looking to implement changes that he believes will lead to more success in Nashville.

Why it matters

Saleh's tenure with the Jets was marked by struggles, as the team compiled a 9-23 record during his two years. His ability to learn from that experience and make adjustments will be crucial as he takes over a Titans team that is looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2025 season.

The details

Saleh said he plans to take a more hands-on approach with the Titans, spending more time directly coaching the players rather than delegating as much to his assistants. He also emphasized the importance of building stronger relationships with the team's veteran leaders. Additionally, Saleh indicated he will place a greater emphasis on in-game adjustments and adaptability, areas where the Jets often struggled under his leadership.

• Saleh was hired as the new Titans head coach in January 2026.
