Titans’ Robert Saleh making his father proud

On Father’s Day, it is always good to look back at family and those who have helped make dreams come true, and that is definitely the case for Tennessee Titans head coach Robert Saleh.

Saleh was introduced to the game at age seven under the guidance of his coach/father, Sam, who sparked his love for the game in Pop Warner and channeled that early start into a standout high school career and a standout college career before turning his sights toward coaching.

Now, Saleh will have a second chance to succeed as a head coach, and no matter the result, his father will proudly stand by his son. In his detailed account of Saleh’s rise through the ranks, ESPN’s Turron Davenport talked to the elder Saleh and captured his feelings.

“It was like a dream,” Sam said. “A very emotional moment, like ‘Wow, look at my son. He is in the NFL. He’s a head coach!'”

Saleh has brought an intensity and a new attitude to Nashville, and his hiring has sparked excitement within the fanbase. And now, he will have a shot to rewrite his story and create a legacy with the Titans starting in 2026.
