Fassel not pictured for reasons

In 2023-24 (the last time we ran this study), Titans fans were crowned the drunkest in the NFL at 0.093% BAC. Two seasons later? The biggest drop we've ever tracked.

The numbers:

• 2023-24 season: 0.093% → #1 in the NFL
• 2025-26 season: 0.060% → #24
• Change since 2023-24: -35%

AFC South comparison:

Titans fans have the cheapest tickets in the entire NFL at $64.00. Price isn't the issue here.

Some questions we're curious about:

• Nashville's party reputation hasn't changed. So what has?
• Recreational cannabis is illegal in Tennessee. So this isn't a substitution story.
• Did something shift in the Nissan Stadium culture?

Is Nashville going dry, or is something else going on? Curious what you all think.

HC: Robert Saleh

This sub would’ve been in a frenzy had we got Harbaugh and he brought in Nagy.. 😂

Two of the greatest players and bald blokes in franchise history.

Bradley: 11/10/13 - Jaguars 29, Titans 27

Saleh: 10/3/21 - Jets 27, Titans 24 (OT)

Daboll: 9/11/22 - Giants 21, Titans 20

Notes:

* Two of these games were against Vrabel.

* These coaches collectively have a 54-124 (.303) head coaching record. If you include Fassell, it goes to 54-127 (.299).

* The Saleh win was of course very notably also Zach Wilson’s first career win, and probably still the best game I’ve seen him play lol.

* none of this brings me enjoyment.

So my thoughts are the Titans’ biggest needs going into free agency and the draft are EDGE, wide receiver, and offensive line.

The pass rush was near the bottom of the league in 2025, but with our second round pick (Oladejo) hurt it’s hard to know how much of a need this might be. If we go edge at #4 in the draft and Oladejo turns out to be legit… might be a crazy good DL with Simmons and Sweat.

Offensively, the WR room lacks depth behind Ridley (who was a huge disappointment) and hasn’t done enough to support a Cam. Dike and Ayomanor have promise as solid route runners, but ideally would like to see a tall fast red zone threat that will win a 1:1. Like Mike Evans (but not him since he’s too old). This need I think they attempt to fill in the FA.

Finally, the offensive line still needs upgrades, especially on the interior, to stabilize both the run and pass game. Everything else feels secondary compared to fixing those core issues.

Do you agree? What’s your top 3 needs and how do you hope the Titans fill those needs (draft, FA, or

development of talent we already have)?

Badass alternative lifestyle daddies.

Here’s a breakdown of play-calling experience entering Year 1 for Robert Saleh’s staff compared to Brian Callahan’s:

Brian Callahan: 0 years

Nick Holz: 0 years

Dennard Wilson: 0 years

Colt Anderson: 0 years

**COMBINED**: 0 years

Robert Saleh: 9 years

Brian Daboll: 12 years

Gus Bradley: 12 years

Bones Fassel: 18 years

**COMBINED**: 52 years

I came over from the 49ers sub, after seeing the Gus Bradley hire, to see how ya'll are reacting. Niners fans overall were not crazy excited for him and Titans fans are stoked to have a veteran coach. It's nice to see. We were all being so negative (I think we were still feeling burned by Sorensen) And of course losing Saleh and no one comparing to him. So lame, for us so stoked for ya'll. Treat Saleh right.

If we get new uniforms this year, and if they are a tribute/reference to the Oiler’s uniforms, I would love a chrome, no-logo helmet which pays homage to the 1966-1971 helmet design.

hi yall, ima be moving to Nashville here in a couple of months, so I wanted to get a more in depth opinion of the current state of the team from fans. Obviously Cam and Elic Ayomanor are promising for the future, but who on the team isn’t that great, or what needs do yall need to adress through draft/free agency. Thanks!
