John Fassel joins Titans as special teams coordinator following Cowboys exit

Following a disappointing 7-10 season, the Dallas Cowboys are in the process of revamping their coaching staff after parting ways with head coach Mike McCarthy. John Fassel, the team's special teams coordinator since 2020, has accepted a position with the Tennessee Titans, marking a significant loss for the Cowboys given his success in developing top-performing specialists like kicker Brandon Aubrey and returner KaVontae Turpin. Despite expressing a desire to stay with the Cowboys, the uncertainty surrounding the head coaching vacancy likely influenced Fassel's decision to leave. His departure comes amid broader changes within the Cowboys’ coaching ranks, as ongoing discussions regarding a new head coach continue. Fassel was well-regarded for his innovative approach and leadership in special teams, which had ranked among the best in the league during his tenure. The Cowboys now face the challenge of filling the void left by Fassel as they seek to rebuild their coaching staff.
