Mike Garafolo reports that the Giants are hiring former Titans DC Dennard Wilson to the same role on the new staff of HC John Harbaugh.
According to Jordan Schultz, Wilson was a finalist along with Jim Leonhard and Anthony Weaver.
Earlier reports indicated he would interview for the job, and it seems things escalated to Wilson being hired rather quickly. He worked with Harbaugh in Baltimore and runs a similar scheme to what the Ravens did under Harbaugh.
Wilson did a decent job with Tennessee’s defense the last couple of seasons despite not operating with a full deck most of the time. He also interviewed with the Commanders and Chargers.
Wilson, 43, worked as a pro scout for the Bears before beginning his coaching career with the Rams back in 2012 as their defensive quality control coach. He worked his way up to DBs coach before taking the same job with the Jets in 2017.
From there, the Eagles hired Wilson as their passing game coordinator/DBs coach for the 2019 season before he joined the Ravens in the same role.
In 2024, Wilson was hired as the Titans’ defensive coordinator and has remained in the role over the past two seasons.
In 2025, the Titans’ defense ranked No. 28 in scoring and No. 21 in total defense, including No. 15 against the run and No. 21 against the pass.
