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 are reportedly making a major staff change following their league-worst 3-14 finish to the 2024 NFL season. Per a report from NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the Titans will be bringing in veteran coach John Fassel as their next special teams coordinator.

As the team continues its search for a head coach, multiple outlets reported Monday that John Fassel will become the next special teams coordinator for the Tennessee Titans. Fassel spent the past five seasons at the same position in Dallas, serving the entire tenure of former head coach Mike McCarthy.

The first of Dallas’ assistant coaches from last season is on the move, as John Fassel is headed to Nashville.

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.

The Titans have made a huge upgrade at special teams coordinator, according to multiple reports. Tennessee has hired former Dallas Cowboys special teams coordinator John “Bones” Fassel for the role, which was held last season by Colt Anderson.

The Dallas Cowboys are losing Mike McCarthy’s guys quickly, underscoring the urgent need for the team to find a new head coach.
