Titans Hire John Fassel Amid Coaching Changes

John Fassel, previously the Dallas Cowboys' special teams coordinator, is joining the Tennessee Titans in the same role, as the Titans aim to address their special teams issues following a disappointing 3-14 season. Fassel, renowned for developing successful special teams units and notable players like All-Pro returner KaVontae Turpin and Pro Bowl kicker Brandon Aubrey, will replace Colt Anderson, who faced criticism during his tenure. Fassel's move follows the Cowboys' decision not to renew head coach Mike McCarthy's contract after a 7-10 season, leading to turnover in the coaching staff. The Titans, having recently hired a new general manager, Mike Borgonzi, hope Fassel's expertise will improve their special teams performance, which struggled significantly last season. The Cowboys, meanwhile, will need to fill the void left by Fassel as they continue their search for a new head coach and address their coaching staff changes.
