The Tennessee Titans are making a strong commitment to developing the next generation of NFL coaching talent, adding four new coaches this offseason through the league's prestigious Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship program. Head coach Robert Saleh and his staff will welcome these promising coaches to Nashville to support the team's offseason activities, providing them with invaluable hands-on experience.

The four additions bring diverse expertise across multiple position groups: D'Anthony Batiste (offensive line), Darryl Blackstock (linebackers), Larry Dace (special teams and running backs), and Jeremy Holt (performance). Each will observe, participate, and gain critical experience with the hope of eventually landing a full-time NFL coaching role.

Batiste, a former NFL offensive tackle, brings a wealth of playing experience to the offensive line room. After graduating from Louisiana-Lafayette in 2003, he took the long road to the league, spending time in the Arena Football League and the CFL's Edmonton Eskimos before joining the Dallas Cowboys in 2006. Over his career, he played in 37 NFL games with 14 starts for seven different teams, including the Cowboys, Panthers, Falcons, Commanders, Broncos, Cardinals, and Steelers.

The Titans' commitment to this program runs deep. Running backs coach Randy Jordan serves as the club's Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship coordinator and will oversee two additional groups of coaching assistants, with a second set scheduled to be announced before training camp. Remarkably, Saleh's first staff with the Titans already includes seven graduates of the program: Trevor Browder, Dalton Hilliard, Greg Lewis, Tony Oden, Ahmed Saleh, Rayna Stewart, and Isaac Williams—all now serving as full-time coaches heading into the season.

This initiative not only strengthens the Titans' coaching pipeline but also reflects the NFL's ongoing efforts to create more opportunities for diverse coaching talent across the league.
