The Tennessee Titans' 2026 NFL season has gotten off to a rocky start, with the team still searching for its first victory after five games. The franchise had hoped that new head coach Robert Saleh would help the team take a significant step forward, but that progress has yet to materialize. As a result, speculation about Saleh's job security is beginning to surface.
Tennessee heads into Week 6 with an 0-5 record, and quarterback Cam Ward has yet to make the leap that the organization envisioned for him in his second year. Despite these challenges, team leadership remains fully supportive of Saleh and his coaching staff.
"I personally feel a sense of stability," Titans CEO Burke Nihill told ESPN on Friday. "I believe that Mike Borgonzi and Robert Saleh are ultimately going to get this team out of the woods and restore it to competitive football. The train is on the tracks. It just hasn't picked up momentum, but it will."
Key Analysis
Tennessee is one of three teams in the league without a win in 2026, and while the Titans have been competitive in several close games, they have failed to make the plays needed to secure victories. They have also suffered lopsided defeats in other matchups. Saleh, who previously served as head coach of the New York Jets from 2021 until his dismissal midway through the 2024 campaign, returned to the San Francisco 49ers as defensive coordinator before taking the Titans job. He and the team will have an opportunity to earn their first win on Sunday when they face the Indianapolis Colts.
