The Tennessee Titans are quickly shedding everything about their recent run of mediocrity with head coach Robert Saleh in control. A new staff is one thing, but with free agency noise swirling alongside other such similar rumors, the team is hurtling towards a compelling next few years.

The latest sudden development, although not directly connected to the team, came in the form of an update on the team's soon-to-be updated place of play.

In an overhead video posted on X (Twitter), per Stadium Vagabond on Feb. 3, advanced progress on the new ~60,000-seat Nissan Stadium can be seen clearly. Sitting right next to the team's current - soon-to-be-old - fixture, the new place to play looks like an expensive, sizable improvement.

Pushing a Fresh Look

Contextually, the change makes sense, as much nostalgia as people may have for the field as it stands now. With a new coach taking the wheel, in Saleh, as well as an aesthetic and branding overhaul for the franchise seemingly all but confirmed now, further pushing their fresh look with a brand new place for fans to cheer, shows great faith in the future of Titans football.

And despite the stadium-in-the-making set to debut one year after those other aforementioned upgrades (or, rather, perceived upgrades), the process in general bodes well for a team in dire need of fresh faces, unfamiliar names and, most importantly, notches in the victory column.

To that point, a rebrand only goes so far without results that mirror it. If Saleh's first team trots out and posts a 3-14 record, just like both of Brian Callahan's parties, the bunch may as well put a clown at centerfield and call it a season.

The Titans are only as good as their players and staff; a logo, colors, look and feel are only as impactful as the talent they represent.

A Focus on Results

Then again, not much worry exists in the way of Saleh's own goal in his position. Having promised Titans fans a Super Bowl in his first public appearance in Nashville, the HC seems to be in relative league with fans regarding their collective expectation for both the coming season and Saleh's long-term tenure.

All the same, Tennessee will have what is shaping up to be one of the nicest stadiums in football after just one more season. The product is growing in Nashville; now, it's up to the team to meet that same rising standard.
