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

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.

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 making the move to bring in veteran special teams coordinator John Fassel to run their struggling unit.

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

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 Tennessee Titans have rights to the number one overall pick in the NFL draft and a lot of question marks moving forward. This season veteran Mason Rudolph and young quarterback Will Levis split time as the starting quarterback in route to the team’s 3-14 record.
