A former member of the Tennessee Titans coaching staff could be in to land a significant job extremely soon.
According to CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz, the New England Patriots are expected to target current Detroit Lions defensive line coordinator/assistant head coach Terrell Williams.
Williams recently joined aboard in Detroit for the 2024 season but was formerly with the Titans from 2018 to 2023 as their defensive line coordinator. Within his time stationed in Tennessee, the team had three playoff appearances, winning the division for two of them.
During that stint, Williams had some considerable success with the team’s defensive line. In his six-year stretch with the franchise, he helped hold opposing teams to 10,444 rushing yards, which ranks fourth among the NFL during that period. He also was a part of some solid seasons individually by the Titans’ defensive line, helping develop the likes of Denico Autry and Jeffery Simmons.
If hired in New England, Williams will join alongside Titans’ former head coach Mike Vrabel to help man the defensive side of the football, reuniting with his former lead during his time in Tennessee.
Nothing’s quite official on the hiring front just yet, all signs seem to be hinting at another Titans coaching mind headed to help kickstart a new regime in Foxborough. Expect the dust to settle in the coming days.
According to reports, former Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel is a leading candidate for the New England Patriots head coaching position. Vrabel, who played for the Patriots from 2001 to 2008 and won three Super Bowls with the team, has been praised for his leadership and defensive coaching abilities.
Many believe that Vrabel’s experience as a player under Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, as well as his success as a head coach with the Titans, make him a strong candidate to take over the reins in New England. Vrabel led the Titans to the playoffs in three out of his four seasons as head coach, including an AFC Championship appearance in 2019.
While nothing has been confirmed yet, it will be interesting to see if Vrabel ends up returning to the team where he began his NFL career. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
