This week, Chiefs Wire's Ed Easton Jr. spoke with Tennessee Titans head coach Robert Saleh.
In his interview with Easton Jr., Saleh discusses his participation in this year's American Century Championship, which will take place July 10-12 at Edgewood Tahoe and air on NBC and Peacock. He discussed the decision to hire former Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Brian Daboll to his new coaching staff.
"Dab's (Brian Daboll) been there, done that, he's got a history of developing quarterbacks," said Saleh, "In this day and age, where it feels like the entire league has kind of gone to that Kyle Shanahan, Sean McVay, Kevin O'Connell (style), like those guys who are all outstanding in regards to what they do, Daboll presents something a little bit different."
Daboll served as the Chiefs' coordinator in 2012 and, after four seasons as the head coach of the New York Giants, was fired after 10 games in 2025. Daboll's Giants lost to the Chiefs in Week 3 of last season.
"He's got experience. He's got a tremendous amount of knowledge about his scheme and a tremendous amount of experience in how to coach it, how to coach all the snakes in the grass," said Saleh. "He's got a great rapport with quarterbacks, understands them, and can communicate with them. I just felt with Cam Ward and Daboll, a perfect match with regards to personality, and felt Daboll would be perfect at extracting the most out of them."
The annual tournament awards $750,000 in prize money, much of which the celebrity players donate to local and national charities. Over the years, over $8 million has been donated to non-profit causes. Network television exposure on NBC/Peacock and a first-place prize of $150,000 make the celebrity tournament one of the most prestigious in golf.
