Titans 2023 coaches now employed elsewhere
There are various other 2023 Titans coaches who are now employed elsewhere that don't appear on Tennessee's 2024 schedule. We figured we'd compile a list of them anyway, in case you were curious to learn where they landed.
Mike Vrabel, Cleveland Browns coaching consultant
The initial expectation was that Mike Vrabel would quickly land a head coaching job elsewhere. That did not happen despite him interviewing with the Atlanta Falcons and Los Angeles Chargers. Vrabel is now with the Cleveland Browns in a coaching/personnel consultant role.
Charles London, Seattle Seahawks QB coach (Titans preseason Week 2)
Brian Callahan replaced Charles London at QB coach with Bo Hardegree. London is now with the Seattle Seahawks, who employ Geno Smith and Sam Howell at quarterback. The Titans will technically see him this season as Seattle is Tennessee's second preseason opponent.
Tim Kelly, New York Giants TE coach
Vrabel's offensive coordinator was Tim Kelly, who is now the New York Giants' tight ends coach. He must navigate through the difficulties of his new role following Darren Waller's retirement. Kelly will be tasked with coaching up Daniel Bellinger and rookie Theo Johnson at the position.
Shane Bowen, New York Giants defensive coordinator
It's a shame the Titans don't play the Giants in 2024 considering they hired at least three of their 2023 assistants (In addition to Kelly, Bowen appointed former Titans inside linebackers assistant coach Zak Kuhr as a defensive assistant). Bowen was fortunate to land another DC gig. In East Rutherford, he'll coach one of the best pass-rushing duos in the league in Kayvon Thibodeaux and Brian Burns.
Rob Moore, Carolina Panthers WR coach
Callahan replaced wide receivers coach Rob Moore with Tyke Tolbert, another positional coaching veteran. Moore quickly landed the same role with the Carolina Panthers. He'll have a ton of ascending talents in that room, including Jonathan Mingo and Xavier Leggette, in addition to new WR1 Diontae Johnson.
Bobby King, Philadelphia Eagles ILB coach
Vrabel and Bobby King went way back to their Houston Texans days. Callahan hired Frank Bush as his new off-ball linebackers coach. Bush, like Steve Jackson, is a franchise veteran, now in his fourth (!) stint with the Houston Oilers/Titans. Coach King landed the same role with the Philadelphia Eagles, where he'll coach Nakobe Dean, Devin White, Jeremiah Trotter Jr., and former Vanderbilt alum Oren Burks.
