Summary

The Tennessee Titans finally got their head coach in Robert Saleh and now they need to turn their focus to the most important next step which is hiring an offensive coordinator. Mike McDaniel may be a long shot, but he is clearly the best option on the board. McDaniel isn't the only top option though as Brian Daboll, Kliff Kingsbury and Bobby Slowik also fit the bill. There are other options that are good, but certainly less enticing like Mike LaFleur, Klay Kubiak and Arthur Smith. However, those names are more realistic. Finally, there are some names from the previous Tennessee Titans coaching staff who could potentially be holdovers like Luke Stocker, Frank Bush and, of course, Jon Bones Fassel. However, names like Dennard Wilson and Luke Holz will be gone.
