Tensions between Tennessee Titans head coach Robert Saleh and Jacksonville Jaguars coach Liam Coen have cooled ahead of their Week 10 meeting.
The pair previously clashed in September 2025 during an exchange at midfield after the Jaguars defeated the San Francisco 49ers, “as reported by ESPN”.
The conflict originated from comments Saleh made regarding Jacksonville’s offensive preparation, which Coen perceived as an accusation of signal-stealing, “according to Yahoo Sports”.
Both coaches later claimed to have resolved the dispute during the NFL league meetings held in Phoenix this past March.
Saleh reaffirmed his desire to move past the history during a press conference held this Friday, “as noted by MySportsUpdate”.
The coach described the previous confrontation as a minor misunderstanding involving poor word choices on his part.
He praised the Jaguars organization and their offensive identity while speaking to reporters, “per social media coverage”.
Despite these conciliatory remarks, some fans expressed frustration on social media regarding the sudden shift in tone.
One user on X suggested that Saleh is avoiding further conflict due to the poor current performance of the Titans, “as cited by Pro Football Network”.
Other users criticized the coach for appearing soft, while some predicted a lopsided victory for Jacksonville, “according to online commentary”.
The Titans currently hold a 1-7 record and sit at the bottom of the AFC South standings.
In contrast, the Jaguars enter the contest with a 6-2 record and are ranked sixth in the league, “per Pro Football Network”.
The focus for both coaching staffs now shifts to the upcoming Sunday game.
