NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans met with Jason Garrett in person Friday, making the former Dallas Cowboys coach and current broadcaster the sixth candidate interviewed in the team’s search for a new head coach, according to a person familiar with the interview schedule.
The Titans started the search to replace Brian Callahan — who was fired Oct. 13 after a 1-5 start to his second season followed a 3-4 record in his first — by meeting with interim coach Mike McCoy in person Tuesday.
The team has since interviewed offensive coordinator Matt Nagy and defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo of the Kansas City Chiefs, Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph and Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo, all virtually, the person confirmed to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Titans are not commenting on individual interviews during the search.
Garrett, 59, had an 85-67 record in regular-season games during his 10 seasons leading the Cowboys from 2010-19 — the first season on an interim basis for the final eight games — and was 2-3 in the playoffs. After he left Dallas, he was offensive coordinator for the New York Giants in 2020 and 2021. He has been with NBC Sports since 2022.
The same person confirmed the Titans requested an interview with Mike McDaniel, fired by the Miami Dolphins on Thursday after four seasons as their head coach. The Titans earlier Friday requested interviews with Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter and Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Chris Shula.
