When the Tennessee Titans employed defensive passing-game coordinator and cornerbacks coach Chris Harris again in January, it was with the stipulation that he’d be a part of the workforce if he didn’t land a defensive coordinator job elsewhere.
Properly, he now has one much less possibility, because the San Francisco 49ers are reportedly hiring Steve Wilks as their subsequent defensive coordinator, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Harris had beforehand interviewed for the emptiness.
However Tennessee isn’t out of the woods with Harris but, because the Houston Texans have reportedly put in a request to interview the previous Washington Commanders coach for his or her defensive coordinator job.
If Tennessee can dodge that bullet, Harris will probably be an amazing addition, as he’s extremely considered within the teaching ranks. The curiosity he’s receiving for defensive coordinator jobs solely spells that out additional.
Even when Harris does find yourself with the Titans, it is likely to be a brief keep, as he’ll seemingly be up for open defensive coordinator jobs within the subsequent hiring cycle.
Nonetheless, if Tennessee’s present defensive coordinator, Shane Bowen, is poached for a head-coaching gig subsequent offseason, the Titans can have a stable in-house possibility to interchange him in Harris, who would seemingly be considered as the highest candidate.
