The Tennessee Titans hired Robert Saleh as head coach this offseason following a 2025 campaign that saw the team cycle through Brian Callahan and interim coach Mike McCoy. Players including Cedric Gray and Wan'Dale Robinson report an immediate shift in team culture, characterized by a focus on accountability and physical intensity. Saleh has emphasized a philosophy of playing fast and violent to maximize performance on the field. To support this training approach, the coaching staff adjusted practice schedules to include 48-hour recovery windows between sessions involving pads. The organization seeks to establish a consistent identity after two seasons of struggling with discipline. The effectiveness of these changes will face its first test during the opening week of the regular season.
