Tennessee Titans assistant head coach and defensive line coach Terrell Williams will be one of the head coaches at the Senior Bowl next month.
The Senior Bowl announced on Wednesday evening that Williams will be the head coach of the American Team, with New England Patriots wide receivers coach Troy Brown serving as offensive coordinator, Cleveland Browns DBs coach Ephraim Banda serving as defensive coordinator and New York Giants assistant special teams coach Mike Adams serving as the coordinator for special teams.
“I’m super excited about the opportunity to coach in the 2024 Senior Bowl,” Williams said in a statement. “It’s a great opportunity to help these college players get some exposure into what professional football is all about. I’m very thankful to Mike Vrabel for nominating me for this honor. I’m looking forward to working with coaches and other Senior Bowl personnel to make sure this is a great experience for the players.”
The National Team will be led by New York Jets defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich (head coach), New York Giants quarterbacks coach Shea Tierney (offensive coordinator), Minnesota Vikings pass-game coordinator and defensive backs coach Daronte Jones (defensive coordinator) and New Orleans Saints assistant special teams coach Phil Galiano (special teams coordinator).

Williams got his first taste as a head coach this past preseason, when now-former head coach Mike Vrabel named him the acting head coach for the preseason Week 1 contest against the Chicago Bears.
Williams has been with the Titans since 2018, serving as the defensive line coach. He had assistant head coach added to his title in 2023.
He was no doubt one of the better coaches on Vrabel’s staff. Not only did the Titans sport an elite run defense for two straight seasons, Williams also had a hand in the development of guys like Jeffery Simmons and Teair Tart.
There are few coaches worth holding on to from Vrabel’s staff and Williams is certainly one of them.
The Reese’s Senior Bowl will take place on Saturday, Feb. 3.
