The Tennessee Titans are interviewing Houston Texans defensive backs coach Dino Vasso for their vacant defensive coordinator position, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The move comes as the Titans continue their search for a new defensive leader to join their coaching staff for the upcoming season.
Vasso has spent the last three seasons in Houston, where he has been instrumental in the development of the Texans' secondary. Per the report, Vasso has earned significant support from veteran mentors Matt Burke and Jim Schwartz, both of whom have reportedly been pushing for Vasso to receive a coordinator opportunity behind the scenes. Schwartz and Vasso previously worked together during their time with the Philadelphia Eagles, where Vasso served as a defensive assistant and assistant secondary coach.
The Titans are cast a wide net to fill their defensive coordinator role, and Vasso represents a rising name in the coaching ranks with deep ties to successful defensive schemes. His work with young talent in the Texans' defensive backfield has made him a high-upside candidate for a Tennessee team looking to revitalize its defense.
