The Tennessee Titans have been busy making adjustments this offseason, firing general manager Ran Carthon in favor of Mike Borgonzi. Bringing in new coaches and coordinators while letting others go. Chris Harris was one of those the Titans parted ways with, and it didn’t take long for him to find a new job as he is reportedly set to join the New York Jets.

Harris was hired by the Titans in 2023 as the defensive passing game coordinator and cornerbacks coach and was retained when Brian Callahan took over in 2024. His contract expired this month, and the Titans opted not to renew it. It seems the Jets have a place for him on their staff in a similar role.
In 2024, the Titans had the second-ranked pass defense in the NFL. However, most credit that to bringing in Dennart Wilson who led the Baltimore Ravens’ top-ranked defense the year before.
Prior to joining Tennessee, Harris played safety for eight seasons before turning to coaching in 2013. He started as a defensive quality control coach for the Chicago Bears, then joined the Los Angeles Chargers from 2016-2019 as the assistant defensive backs coach, and finally the defensive backs coach for the Washington Commanders in 2020 until he joined Tennessee.
