John Harbaugh expected to interview with Titans by the end of the week

This has been the craziest NFL coaching cycle that we have ever seen. You don’t often see two coaches who are on the track to be in the Hall of Fame leave their jobs in the same year. That has happened this year with the Baltimore Ravens firing John Harbaugh and Mike Tomlin stepping down from the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Tomlin is not expected to coach in 2026. He still has two years left on his contract with the Steelers, so he would have to be acquired via trade if he were going to coach somewhere else in 2026 or 2027. Harbaugh, however, is the most sought-after candidate of the cycle.

Harbaugh will have his pick of the available jobs. According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, he has narrowed his focus down to three jobs – the Atlanta Falcons, the New York Giants, and your Tennessee Titans. Pelissero also said that Harbaugh is expected to interview with those three teams by the end of the week.

There have been various reports out there about which job Harbaugh prefers, but the big news here is that the Titans are in the mix for his services. That means he liked what he saw when he spent the weekend watching Cam Ward.

For as bad as the Titans’ roster is, the job is pretty attractive. You have a good, young quarterback, a ton of cap space, and the number four pick in the draft.

This is a rare case where the potential coach is interviewing the teams more than the other way around. Hopefully, Mike Borgonzi and company are ready to roll out the red carpet whenever Harbaugh comes to Nashville.
