The Tennessee Titans are hiring Aaron Whitecotton as the team's new Run Game Coordinator and Defensive Line coach, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The move is officially considered a promotion for the defensive assistant.
Whitecotton joins the Titans staff after a highly productive season where his unit ranked in the top five across the NFL in quarterback hits. His performance on the defensive front made him a top candidate during this coaching cycle, as he reportedly participated in multiple interviews for Defensive Coordinator positions with other franchises.
The addition of Whitecotton is a significant move for the Titans' defensive front. Known for his ability to generate pressure and maintain a disciplined line, his unit's recent success solidified his reputation as a rising star in the coaching ranks. Despite the interest for coordinator-level roles elsewhere, the Titans managed to secure his services to lead their run game coordination and defensive line efforts.
