This one is a little bit out of left field for me, but Dianna Russini is reporting that Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian’s representatives have let NFL teams know that he is interested in coaching in the
NFL. Russini says that interest would include the Tennessee Titans. Of course, just because Sarkisian is interested in the Titans, or any other NFL team for that matter, doesn’t mean that any of those teams would necessarily be interested in him.
I am all for the Titans talking to as many people as possible before hiring their next coach. That should include some current college coaches. Sark is not a guy that I had given much consideration to before this report. He’s obviously done a nice job at Texas, eventhough they haven’t been as good as expected this year.
The Titans are currently the only NFL job open. If Sarkisian is putting that out there now, he clearly does have some level of interest. That would have to mean that he likes Cam Ward. That’s a good sign that the Titans’ job is still going to be attractive, even with the dysfunction from ownership.
