Locked On Titans - Daily Podcast On The Tennessee Titans - Tennessee Titans Brian Callahan STAFF CHANGES, Concerning Front Office Hires & Senior Bowl Preview

Episode Date: January 27, 2025

Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan made some changes to his coaching staff in recent days in all three phases including the addition of John 'Bones' Fassel as special teams coordinator. It is ...a move that shows Callahan is serious about improving his staff and focused on improving the team as much as possible. The Titans also added two new executives. Both, Dave Ziegler and Reggie McKenzie, have previous general manager experience, but not the kind you want to see. Finally, the Senior Bowl kicks off this week and there are plenty of names on the roster who Titans fans should be paying attention to like Jaxson Dart. Subscribe to the TicTacTitans Film Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@TicTacTitans TicTacTitans Merchandise: https://dixons-dream.square.site/shop/tictactitans-gear/C3AAPNWXSXA6SBYG3USV2I7R?page=1&limit=30&sort_by=category_order&sort_order=asc Follow Tyler on Twitter @TicTacTitans Follow the show on Facebook @LockedOnTitansPod Subscribe to the Locked On Titans YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/c/LockedOnTitans/videos Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!  LinkedInLinkedIn Jobs helps you find the qualified candidates you want to talk to, faster.

Starting point is 00:01:15 And then at the end of the show, we're gonna take a look at the senior bowl. The biggest college all-star game has begun their week of practice. And I'm gonna go over some of the names that I think Titans fans should keep their eye on before we dive into all of it. Thank you for making the locked on Titans podcast.

Speaking of every day, shout out to my every dayers out there tuning in Monday through Friday. Couldn't do it without you guys. If you aren't an every dayer,
Starting point is 00:01:53 you need to be one because the off season is jam packed with news and insights and I bring it to you for free every single day. But with that being said, the biggest move that the Tennessee Titans have made over the weekend, in my opinion, is hiring John Fossil as their special teams coordinator. Now we have talked about this last week when the news officially, well not officially, but when the news broke, when the reports broke that the Titans were hiring John Fossil as their special teams coordinator, we talked about how great of a move this is. It finally officially happened according to the Tennessee Titans on Monday. They announced that publicly, but John Fossil as a reminder, one of the best special teams coaches in the entire
Starting point is 00:02:35 NFL. He's been a special teams coordinator since 2008. So a guy with a vast amount of experience. He's with the Cowboys for the last five seasons. I do believe that it was. The Cowboys have consistently been one of the top special teams units in the NFL. You look at Cavante Turpin who won, I believe the All-Pro for returner this year. You got Brandon Aubrey who was one of the best kickers
Starting point is 00:02:58 in the NFL under John Fossil's watch. And actually there was some news where Brandon Aubrey did an interview and said that John Fossil told him he was getting the job with the Titans and that he was going to trade for him. Now that was said in jest, but you know, we can look forward to John Fossil being somebody who can not only write the ship for the Titans, but as Brian Callahan said in a recent interview, they need to not just get to where they don't mess up all the time on special teams. They need to go further and make impact plays on special teams and be one of the
Starting point is 00:03:29 teams in the NFL that actually can win games with their special teams play. And the Titans are very far away from that right now, but John Fossil, one of the best in the NFL. That does mean, I feel like it's Munchkin land and I'm announcing that the wicked old witch of the West is finally dead. Cole Anderson is fired. Now I spoke with certainty when we talked about this last time that Cole Anderson was fired because that's the reports that had come out. Since that time there had been some trepidation and some hesitancy as to whether Cole Anderson
Starting point is 00:04:03 would actually be fired or whether he would be demoted to a different role. I expect them to be demoted since he does have a close relationship with Brian Callahan and didn't seem like Callie wanted to lose full confidence in him. But after this came out, it is a fact Cole Anderson will not be back with the Tennessee Titans. So after that disaster performance last year, rightfully so Cole Anderson loses his job and he's replaced by one of the best in the entire NFL.
Starting point is 00:04:31 So number one, that is an absolute home run move for the Tennessee Titans hiring John bones fossil was you're going to hear them called bones all the time. That is an out of the park into the river. Fantastic move by the time. That is an out of the park, into the river, fantastic move by the Titans. Now, John Fossil had an assistant in Dallas named Raina Stewart, who actually is a former Oilers player and coached under Jeff Fisher for the Titans for a little bit. But Raina Stewart was also hired to be John Fossil's assistant. So hey, it's hard to find good help if he's somebody who believes that Raina Stewart can deliver the message properly. Stewart was also hired to be John Fossil's assistant. So, Hey, it's hard to find good help.
Starting point is 00:05:05 If he's somebody who believes that Raina Stewart can deliver the message properly, you got to bring him to if fossil comes to you and says, Hey, I'm only coming. If you hired this guy with me, not a problem. Sure. We can do that. Now with that, Anthony Levine, uh, played for the Baltimore Ravens for a while. Came over to the Titans as a special teams assistant, was a special teams assistant last year.
Starting point is 00:05:27 He was let go because that's Raina Stewart's position. Now he was a guy who I had a lot of hope in as a young coach who just got in the NFL and just started coaching, obviously wasn't ready to take the big job quite yet. And again, if fossil asks for Raina Stewart, he gets Raina Stewart. So not a problem there. Also another name that Titans fans probably are very familiar with. Chris Harris, the Titans defensive back coach, cornerback coach.
Starting point is 00:05:52 He was, I don't want to say let go by the team, his contract expired and the Titans didn't renew it. And Chris Harris was a guy who had a really good pedigree and reputation coming out of Washington and the Titans brought him over in 2022 or 23, 23 I believe it was Mike Grable made some staff changes and you know, the Titans really didn't get much better under his watch this year they did but obviously Bernard Wilson has a lot to do with that but the real thing that stands out to me that I remember Chris Harris missed quite a few weeks during the season with personal issues. It wasn't anything that we ever got resolution on. We never got information
Starting point is 00:06:31 on what exactly was going on, but I would imagine that whatever made him have to be away from the team for you know a couple of weeks during the season or however long it ended up being, the Titans might have just wanted to go ahead and move on and let him deal with that on his own. But in place of Chris Harris, the Titans are hiring Tony Oden, who is going to be the passing game coordinator in the cornerbacks coach. He has been in the NFL coaching for 19 years. He's coached with the Jets, the 49ers, the Dolphins, the Lions, and there is some carry over, I believe, with the Lions. And Brian Callahan was on that Lions staff when Tony Oden was there.
Starting point is 00:07:15 So a long time NFL coach coming in the secondary with a little bit more experience. He did spend some time with the Jets. I don't know if he overlapped at all with Denard Wilson during that time. I think they were off by a year, but maybe similar philosophies there. And then Justin Otton who, um, is a guy who was the offensive coordinator for the Denver Broncos was hired by the Titans in 2023 as a running backs coach, moved to tight end coach and retained under Brian Callahan. But his contract was out as well. So they let him go and they promoted Luke Stocker, former Titans player.
Starting point is 00:07:48 He's been out of the NFL for a couple of years now. He was the tight end assistant coach last year under Autin, played for the Titans in 2017 and 18, longtime NFL veteran, I think 11 years. So excited to see Luke Stocker get an opportunity. Look, I'm not going to pretend like I'm an expert on Tony Oden or Luke Stalker as a coach, there's not really enough tangible experience to go off of for Luke Stalker. Tony Oden has been a part of so many different places that it's hard to really pin down his level of success, but either way, I don't really mind any
Starting point is 00:08:20 of the moves after John Fossil is hired. That is such a home run move that I'm going to trust that Brian Callahan is making the right decisions going forward to remake this staff after having a year on the job. I think it's smart to kind of tinker with things and address certain issues. And the fact that they hit special teams with a big name, small change on defense, small change on offense. Don't sit on your hands.
Starting point is 00:08:45 Don't be complacent. Always look to get better. I like what the Titans have done generally with their changes on the coaching staff. But we got two additions in the front office for the Tennessee Titans. And I can't say I'm as excited about those. Do want to let you guys know that today's episode is brought to you by FanDuel Sportsbook. Super Bowl 59 is here. One game, two teams, endless possibilities.

Titans fans, let's continue today's edition of the Locked on Titans podcast. We see some big changes on the coaching staff and in the front office. I'm going to dive into the front office additions here that I'll be honest. I'm not that excited about at the end of the day, although I'm very excited about the John Bones fossil edition and some of the coaching staff changes.
Starting point is 00:10:42 But before we get into the two new executives, do want to thank you again for making locked on Titans. You are first listen each and every day. Remember there's going to be a ton of news throughout the all season. We got to go over roster moves, free agency, the draft. I cover 200 draft prospects. I go over every position in free agency. I do a comprehensive review of the Titans roster and the moves that they could
Starting point is 00:11:04 potentially make. You aren't going to get more comprehensive coverage of the Tennessee Titans and their off season than you are here with me on Locked on Titans. So get subscribed, stay subscribed to your team every day. But with that being said, the first executive that I want to talk about is Dave Ziegler. Dave Ziegler was hired as the assistant general manager for the Tennessee Titans here. Ziegler last worked as the general manager for the Las Vegas Raiders. He was kind of tied to the hip with Josh McDaniels because of their time with the Patriots. Ziegler was a Patriots cohort for quite some time during the late 2000 aughts. Uh, he started as a area scout and a pro scout and a college scout for the Denver Broncos right at the turn of 2010.
Starting point is 00:11:54 A little bit of crossover, I believe there with, uh, with Brian Callahan, but Dave Ziegler is a guy who's been in the AFC West with two out of those three stops, think it was Denver Broncos and then it was Las Vegas Raiders. Dave Ziegler is a guy who's been in the AFC West with two out of those three stops. Think it was Denver Broncos and then it was Las Vegas Raiders. So obviously there's probably a relationship there with Mike Borganzi from having that close proximity and being in the division against each other. It's somebody who he's probably talked to quite a bit area scouts being out on the road.
Starting point is 00:12:20 Again, Mike Borganzi talked about how you develop relationships with these guys and that's how we created such a good relationship with Chad Brinker. So I don't know for certain that Dave Ziegler and Mike Borganzi created a relationship in that way, but it would be logical to think that that's how you put two and two together. But again, I want to focus on his time as the Raiders general manager. That is when he was in charge and he got to do what he wanted. Now, thoughts are that Josh McDaniels had final say in the organization when he was there
Starting point is 00:12:47 with Dave Ziegler. Josh McDaniels was hired and then Ziegler was brought to be with Josh McDaniels. So that may be the case, but either way you stamp your name on these moves and you deserve to be judged by it. He was only the Raiders general manager. Dave Ziegler was for 18 months. It was a season and a half. They got rid of him when they got rid of Josh McDaniels.
Starting point is 00:13:10 He executed the Devontae Adams trade, which was a disaster for the Raiders. At the end of the day, gave up first round pick, second round pick for a team that was not ready to go compete. I get why they did it with Derek Carr and Josh McDaniels. They wanted to go compete, but looking back, not a good trade for the Raiders. They ended up having to get rid of Devontae Adams again. He had two draft classes. He had Dylan Parham, who's a good interior offensive lineman. Is he high level?
Starting point is 00:13:43 No, but it was a third round pick because they didn't have their first or their second because of Devontae Adams. But Dylan Pardem's an okay player. Zameer White at running back, okay player, not a real difference maker. Outside of that, he had like Neal Farrell and Matthew Butler and Thayer Munford in the back end of the draft. Then he finally got a couple of early picks. He dropped to Tyree Wilson who made some strides this year,
Starting point is 00:14:07 but doubt he's ever gonna live up to the draft pick when he was at the top of the first round drafted by the Raiders. Michael Mayer, good tight end, but immediately replaced by Brock Bowers when Tom Telesco got his one year with the Raiders. Byron Young, not the good one from the Los Angeles Rams, the other one from the Raiders, of course, okay. Trey Tucker, wide receiver, decent role player, but these are
Starting point is 00:14:34 not great drafts. You know what I mean? This is not great work right here. And quite frankly, the Patriots during that time where Ziegler was heavily involved as the director of player personnel and all that, it was like 2016 to 2020. And the Patriots drafted really poorly during that time. And that was ultimately why their roster kind of fell apart and Tom Brady left because they didn't do a good job during that time. And Bill Belichick was playing GM and head coach and didn't have good people under him. And like, so I am not over the moon about the Dave Ziegler hire.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Um, at the end of the day, he is not going to be the one making the choices. Mike Borganzi is, and I'm certain that Dave Ziegler is a very experienced and, you know, intelligent, educated guy in the front office. So I'm not, he's not the one who's going to be making the decisions, but it's not like there's a ton of great stuff in the past eight to 10 years to look at and say, Oh, Dave Ziegler, that's a, you know, one of the smartest guys in the NFL. You want him in your organization? I don't see that. I don't see that. So skeptical there, although, you know, it's the assistant general manager, it's not VGM, but that's still a pretty high position. And then the Titans also hire Reggie McKenzie, who we were told was a front runner
Starting point is 00:16:02 for the Tennessee Titans general manager position at one point in time. Thank God that that wasn't true. He didn't even get a second interview. So can't really believe anything about the Titans coming from that person going forward. But Reggie McKenzie was hired as a senior scouting advisor for the Tennessee Titans according to reports from Ian Rapaport of NFL Network. But um, according to reports from Ian Rapoport of NFL network. But Reggie McKenzie is a name that NFL fans probably know. He was the general manager for the Raiders from 2012 to 2018. Been with the Miami Dolphins,
Starting point is 00:16:34 spent time with the Green Bay Packers before that. Him and Chad Brinker actually worked together for a little bit with the Green Bay Packers, which is how that relationship is there. Quite frankly, Reggie McKenzie was terrible. Um, well, terrible maybe was not very good during his time as a general manager for the Las Vegas Raiders. They went 40 and 72 during his time. They went to the playoffs once.
Starting point is 00:17:00 I do believe there's some overlap there with Brian Callahan, who was with the Raiders for a couple of years there while Reggie McKenzie was the general manager. And Dave Ziegler, he went 12 and 18 when he was with the Raiders. So like, you know, both of these guys don't have great records in their recent opportunities to be someone who's calling the shots. And when you're the one who is calling the shots and literally it's your decision what you do for them to be as bad as these two were, it does make you a little uneasy.
Starting point is 00:17:32 No way around it. You know that I'm going to be optimistic when there's room to be optimistic about the team. That's where we've gotten in the past few years. That's who I have become in the darkness of the Tennessee Titans last two seasons. But I'm having a hard time being overly optimistic about these two hires. Cause of course you could say, Hey, they're not the GM. They're not making the call. They're not making the decisions, but when they did make the decisions,
Starting point is 00:17:55 they didn't make very good ones. So what kind of advice are they going to be given? Does make you wonder, does make you wonder. But with that being said, Senior Bowl is here. The Titans love drafting people from the Senior Bowl. That's been the case throughout Senior Bowl. We see a lot of players rise in their draft stock. It is one of the most important checkpoints
Starting point is 00:18:17 and step off points in the draft path. So very excited to do a little Senior Bowl preview for you guys as practices start this week.

Starting point is 00:19:51 Titans fans, let's cap off today's edition of the locked on Titans podcast. We talked about the changes the Titans have made to the coaching staff, to the front office, my up and down reaction to some of those moves, but now I want to turn a page totally to the senior bowl. The senior bowl is coming up and throughout the rest of this week, I'm going to be doing senior bowl updates with you guys on measurements, which has already started guys who needed to be this tall or needed to be this weight or needed this arm length. We're going to talk about all of that as it pertains to these draft prospects,
Starting point is 00:20:17 talk about guys who perform, who have good practices, who have bad practices, risers and fallers. All of this stuff is going to matter very, very much when it comes to the draft value of a lot of these top tier players that the Titans should be looking at. I want to go through a list of players that Titans fans should have their eye on already, who I think could be logical options for the Titans at different points and times during the draft. Before we get into it, do want to thank you again for making Locked on Titans your first
Starting point is 00:20:42 listen. For your second listen, Check out locked on NFL I'm the lead host of locked on NFL and breaking down all of the NFL news and getting you ready for the Super Bowl as well I would appreciate your support go subscribe to locked on NFL on whatever platform that you check out locked on Titans But at the quarterback position, there are gonna be two quarterbacks that I think are very very interesting That are there. Of course, we talk about the Titans drafting quarterback number one overall, but they said they're gonna be aggressive, even if they don't take a quarterback,
Starting point is 00:21:10 number one overall is very likely. The Titans could look to maybe make a move up into the first round with their second round pick to get a quarterback. They could take a quarterback with their second round pick in general, it's not very likely, but it's also not close to impossible that the Titans look to take a quarterback in the mid rounds of the draft. I think that could happen. I wouldn't want them to do that, quite honestly, but it could happen.
Starting point is 00:21:32 And Jackson Dart is a guy who's rising up draft boards rapidly. Great downfield thrower. Bit of a risk taker, though. I think Dart is a guy who is polarizing because the great stuff that he does on tape is outrageous, but the bad stuff is bad bad. So he's a guy who Titans fans need to keep their eye on. Jalen Milro out of Alabama, incredible potential. I mean, he could be like a Lamar Jackson, Jaden Daniels type player. Like he has that sort of talent. But can he put it all together? Can he process quickly? Can he get the ball out of his hands?
Starting point is 00:22:10 You know, those are things that, that people worry about, but he can make a strong impression this week, excuse me. And maybe turn himself into a first round pick, uh, Dylan Gabriel out of Oregon. Um, not somebody who I'm super thrilled with, but maybe people look at what happened with like Bo Nicks and these experienced college quarterbacks and maybe they get excited about that opportunity. I don't know, but those are three names
Starting point is 00:22:35 that I would keep an eye on. Wide receiver for me, a couple of guys that I really, really like. Savion Williams out of TCU, six foot four, uh, two 20, an absolute free athlete can play a little running back. Like he has an offensive weapon. I would be interested in Savion Williams, um, Jayden Higgins out of Iowa state, uh, big tall, uh, wide receiver, uh, Xavier Restrepo from Miami. He's kind of that could be like a Tyler Boyd replacement. He's a slot wide receiver played with Cam Ward too.
Starting point is 00:23:09 So at the Titans when a draft Cam Ward at number one and then pair him with. You know his college teammate that could make sense. Elec a O manor who has a special place in my heart from playing college football 25 with him but out of Stanford big physical wide receiver can jump up from top of you and make plays. He could have a good week. Uh, Jack Beck from TCU, uh, another guy who's kind of a big tall physical guy, Tess Johnson, speedy wide receiver out of
Starting point is 00:23:39 Oregon, another guy to watch. I mean, there's a lot of names. I'm not going to be able to get to all of them at every position. I'd be reading the roster down to you. Some tight ends. I'm curious how the Titans view the tight end position and what they do and whether they're satisfied with Josh Wiley and Chigga Conquo and how they fit. Gunner Helm out of Texas. Harold Fanon Jr. out of Bowling Green, Mason Taylor out of LSU. Guys to keep an eye on it. Offensive tackle.
Starting point is 00:24:09 Also, I gotta say, very early in the pronunciation process. So if I pronounce, I can't even pronounce, pronounce now because I'm so worried about it. If I pronounce some of these names wrong, trust me, I'll get there. I'll get there. Okay. Armand Membo from Missouri, offensive tackle, great measurements with the arm length, great feet. So the arm length checks the box. I would expect him to stay at offensive tackle.
Starting point is 00:24:38 I think that's a reality because most of these offensive tackles in this class could get kicked into guard. Like I feel like all of them, even the, even Kelvin Banks and Will Campbell are guys that, you know class could get kicked into guard. Like I feel like all of them, even the even Kelvin Banks and Will Campbell are guys that you know could get kicked into guard. So if these guys check the box with arm length in this draft class, I think they're going to stay offensive tackle. Josh Connerly out of Oregon at offensive tackle. Jonah Savinayia, Arizona's offensive tackle. Ariante Ursay from Minnesota offensive tackle. Another guy, Emory Jones from LSU. He might be a guard though. That's another arm length situation,
Starting point is 00:25:14 but on the interior Marcus Mbeau, Purdue. Clay Webb from Jacksonville State. Caleb Rogers from Texas Tech. Again, Emory Jones, if he's considered an interior offensive lineman. Remember, Dylan Radens is going to be a free agent and Lloyd Cushingberry is coming off a torn Achilles. I think the Titans are gonna need two starting day interior offensive lineman next to Peter Skowronski along with Wright Tack.
Starting point is 00:25:40 So I know that right now, Lloyd Cushingberry is expected to be ready in July is what I think he said at the end of the year. But you know, he's close to 30 and who knows? So I think the Titans need to need to get an interior offensive lineman in this draft class on defense at edge and D line D lineman Walter Nolan from Ole Miss. Good player. Dion Walker from Kentucky monster. He's like six foot seven huge player. If the tight were to trade Jeffrey Simmons, it's a really good defensive
Starting point is 00:26:21 line class this year. Really good defensive line group at edge tomorrow Stewart Mike green from Marshall Nick skeleton from Texas A&M all edges who are there? The Titans need edge desperately if they don't go Abdul Carter with the number one pick They got to address edge early in this draft. They have to find a way pick, they got to address edge early in this draft. They have to find a way. Azaria Thomas is a cornerback out of Florida State who I'm very interested in.
Starting point is 00:26:52 I think he might fly up boards. So those are just some names that I think Titans fans should keep their eye on and some guys who I'm interested in early on in the process. I haven't really dove head first into the college scouting process quite yet. Um, but preliminary, those are some guys that I like. I have my eye on some names, I guess, but we'll go over 200 draft prospects.
Starting point is 00:27:15 We'll go over every position of free agency. We'll get into roster changes here soon. There's just news for the Titans every single day.
