The Tennessee Titans are turning to experience to anchor their defense under a new regime.
Tennessee is set to hire Gus Bradley as its defensive coordinator, bringing the longtime NFL assistant with head coach Robert Saleh as the Titans begin shaping their coaching staff. Bradley spent the past season as assistant head coach in San Francisco and now follows Saleh, offering a familiar voice and system as Tennessee transitions into a new era.
Bradley’s résumé is extensive. He has coordinated defenses for four different franchises, including stops with the Seahawks, Chargers, Raiders and Colts, and is well-versed in the principles Saleh favors. That shared background made Bradley a natural fit as the Titans looked to establish stability on defense while installing a scheme players can absorb quickly.
After a year on the 49ers’ staff, Bradley’s move to Tennessee reunites him with a head coach he knows well and gives the Titans a seasoned play-caller to guide the unit. For a team seeking consistency and identity on the defensive side of the ball, Bradley’s arrival signals a clear commitment to continuity rather than overhaul.
