The Tennessee Titans looked bad against the Houston Texans and were humiliated in front of the home crowd at Nissan Stadium, and patience is wearing thin.
This was especially clear during Robert Saleh’s media availability on Monday, where everyone could feel the pressure of the 0-5 start to the 2026 season. While Saleh acknowledged the frustration of being winless, he also said he isn’t ready to panic.

"When you make wholesale changes, and you’re trying to- and forgive me, guys, like I always feel like that you’re showing a sign of panic. This is not the time; we’re in game five of year one. And I get it, it hasn’t been good- we’re 0-5.”
While wholesale changes may not be in the cards, something needs to change; unfortunately, Tennessee may not have the players or coaches to make it happen. Especially if the root cause hasn’t been identified.
With the amount of tape that’s available, once emotions clear and the tape is watched, it is hard to tell if it’s all the players, the playcalling, or a combination of both. Something isn’t right, but truly breaking it down is more complicated than replacing Cam Ward or swapping out cornerbacks.
At this point, staying the course is likely the best approach, and fans and beat writers don't want to hear that.
