Titans Hire Cowboys Assistant Aaron Whitecotton as Run-Game Coordinator and Defensive Line Coach

The move reunites him with Robert Saleh in Nashville in an expanded run-game coordinator role.

Overview

  • A report from Ian Rapoport says Whitecotton joins Tennessee with added run-game coordinator duties, elevating the role beyond a lateral move.
  • Dallas passed over Whitecotton for its defensive coordinator opening in favor of Christian Parker after firing Matt Eberflus.
  • Saleh plans to call the Titans’ defense himself, bringing in a longtime collaborator from their Jacksonville, San Francisco and New York stops.
  • Whitecotton helped turn Dallas’ front into a top-five unit in quarterback hits last season as his brief reunion with Quinnen Williams ended.
  • The Cowboys have begun their search to fill the defensive line post, with Minnesota assistant Marcus Dixon among those interviewed.
