‘Drawing a blank’ – Robert Saleh seemingly forgets motivational speech for Titans in awkward clip

Tennessee Titans head coach Robert Saleh experienced an awkward moment during a press conference when he completely forgot his motivational message to his team. Speaking ahead of a matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, Saleh attempted to recount the advice he gave players about handling adverse moments. Mid-sentence, he paused, admitted he was "drawing a blank," and turned to an assistant coach to ask what he had previously said.

The press conference slip comes amid heightened scrutiny for Saleh, whose Titans team has struggled to a 1-6 start to the season. The head coach took over Tennessee following a stint as defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers and a previous head-coaching tenure with the New York Jets, with the team facing pressure to show progress with its young roster.
