Jaguars fans will love Quintin Morris' brutal reaction to the Robert Saleh hire

The AFC South got significantly more interesting in 2026 when the Tennessee Titans hired Robert Saleh as their head coach. While it's too early to tell how things will play out, the Jacksonville Jaguars might've already circled the date of their matchups against their dreaded division foe. After all, they'll get to face the man who accused Liam Coen of "legally stealing signals" twice in the regular season.

Titans players, for their part, appear to be hyped up about the hiring, as one of their most respected leaders, Jeffery Simmons, gave the hiring a thumbs up. That said, Jaguars tight end Quintin Morris had a whole different reaction.

Liam Coen and the Jaguars will get to face Robert Saleh twice a year

Not long after it was reported that Tennessee was hiring Robert Saleh, Quintin Morris caught wind of the news and reacted with a laughing emoji.

As noted before, Saleh caught heat for accusing Liam Coen and his staff of legally stealing plays just before the Jags face the Niners in Week 4. This led Coen to get on his face and tell him to get his name out of his mouth. Saleh apologized in the aftermath, but the damage was done. Now, the two will get to face off against each other twice every season.

So far, the Saleh hire has had mixed reviews, as he failed to rack up enough wins during his stint with the New York Jets. On the other hand, he's routinely put together some of the most dominant defenses in the NFL dating back to his first stint as the defensive coordinator with the 49ers. Thus, it's not particularly shocking to see a defensive stud like Simmons throw his support behind his new head coach.

Having said that, the Titans have their work cut out. Sure, they have a franchise quarterback in sophomore Cam Ward. That will allow Saleh and general manager Mike Borgonzi to focus on addressing other needs, and Tennessee has a lot ahead of the offseason. That's precisely why it could take the Titans brass at least a couple of seasons (and a pair of stacked draft classes) to compete in the AFC South.

Couple that with the fact that Tennessee has one of the most dysfunctional ownerships in the NFL, and it's hard to see them become a threat to the Jaguars anytime soon.

The Titans won't be a threat, but the Jaguars will be looking foward to facing Robert Saleh

The Jaguars should never take divisional contests lightly, and the Robert Saleh factor will most definitely spice things up in their rivalry. However, it's easy to empathize with Quintin Morris for laughing at the hire because the Titans could've gone with established names such as Mike McDaniel or John Harbaugh, but weren't able to lure either one.

Granted, Saleh could turn out to be a good head coach in his second stint, but there's an equal chance that he will come crashing down with the Titans.

For the time being, the hiring has drawn curiosity, but it will be interesting to see if it can fully get the Jaguars' attention.
