Kevin Stefanski turns down Titans job, chooses Falcons head coaching role
Summary

Atlanta Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski declined an offer to coach the Tennessee Titans this offseason, opting for the Falcons instead. NFL insider James Palmer reported that Stefanski saw a better roster in Atlanta, despite the team's disappointing start to the 2026 season. The Titans, struggling in recent years and coming off a poor home loss to the Jets, have a new franchise quarterback in Cam Ward, while the Falcons aim to evaluate their quarterback situation ahead of the 2027 draft. Stefanski's choice was seen as a pivotal moment as both franchises navigate their rebuilds.
