Titans to Interview Texans DBs Coach Dino Vasso for Defensive Coordinator

Saleh is expected to retain defensive play-calling, positioning the hire to drive game-planning and system installation.

Overview

The Titans have scheduled an interview with Texans defensive backs coach Dino Vasso for their vacant defensive coordinator job, per multiple reports.
Vasso, 38, has spent five seasons in Houston after stints with the Chiefs and Eagles, including an assistant defensive coordinator role in Philadelphia in 2020.
Veteran coordinators Matt Burke and Jim Schwartz have endorsed Vasso, helping elevate him into contention for his first NFL coordinator opportunity.
Houston’s defense finished 2025 ranked first in yards allowed and second in points allowed, strengthening the profile of assistants from that staff.
Aaron Whitecotton and Al Harris are also known candidates, and no hire has been announced as Tennessee continues its search under new head coach Robert Saleh.
