Titans continue offseason football-staff reshaping with three additional hires

The Tennessee Titans announced three additional hires and promotions on their football staff earlier this offseason, extending a broader personnel overhaul aimed at shaping how the team prepares players from spring through the start of the regular season. The Titans’ release frames the moves as part of continued development across coaching and support roles within the organization’s football operation.

While the team’s announcement describes the timing and the fact of the additions, it does not, in the portion available here, specify the identities or exact titles of the individuals involved. That leaves some practical questions for fans and observers, particularly how the new roles fit into the day-to-day structure during training camp and the regular-season game-week process.

The Titans’ offseason activity is occurring against a backdrop of renewed emphasis on competition and role clarity for returning players. One example on the team’s site is an interview featuring center Austin Schlottmann, who joined Tennessee in March and described a mindset built around competing for the starting spot rather than assuming it. In that same coverage, Schlottmann is listed as having played in 85 NFL games with 18 starts across seven seasons, and he also followed offensive coordinator Brian Daboll from the New York Giants, after previously being coached by Carmen Bricillo.

That type of “prove it” framing matters for staff changes because it can influence how coaches evaluate players during spring work and how they distribute teaching priorities. If the Titans are adding staff members in roles tied to position development, film study, or practice tempo, the ripple effect is often visible in how quickly players understand what coaches want and how precisely they execute it.

The Titans have also been operating in a league-wide environment where coaching and support staffs often churn after major internal shifts. Recent external reporting has noted broad staff overhaul themes around the NFL and, separately, has described the Titans completing a large set of changes earlier in the offseason. In that context, Tuesday’s announcement should be read less as a one-off adjustment and more as incremental completion of a larger rebuilding and realignment effort.

For now, the key unknown is the specific mix of coaching and football-operation functions included in Tennessee’s three announced hires and promotions. The most useful next step is to watch how those additions translate at the practice-field level once training camp begins at the end of the month, especially around positions where competition is expected to be tight.

In the immediate term, the football staff updates also raise the question of continuity versus specialization. With Schlottmann discussing a starting-job competition at center, Tennessee’s new staff configuration could be interpreted as an attempt to sharpen the team’s evaluation process and tighten the feedback cycle for players trying to earn and hold key roles. As more details become public, the full picture of Tennessee’s football-staff direction should come into focus.
