The Tennessee Titans announced staff changes for the 2025 season Monday, headlined by swaps at special teams, tight end and cornerbacks coach.

The Tennessee Titans hired John Fassel as special teams coordinator on Monday; here are five things to know about the new hire.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - The Tennessee Titans have hired John Fassel as the team’s special teams coordinator. Fassel joins the Titans with 20 seasons of prior NFL experience, including the past five years as special teams coordinator with the Dallas Cowboys.

Fassel was one of Mike McCarthy’s first hires in Dallas in 2020 and helped develop Brandon Aubrey and KaVontae Turpin into All-Pro talents.

Regardless of why Fassel decided to leave Dallas, this is still a significant loss for the Cowboys. Under his guidance, the team has had one of the best special teams units in the NFL, and his departure leaves a substantial void that the new head coach will need to fill.

The Tennessee Titans announced they have promoted assistant TE coach Luke Stocker to TE coach. Additionally, the Titans have hired former Cowboys ST coordinator John Fassel in the same role and former Jets CB coach Tony Oden as their pass game coordinator/CB coach.
