The Tennessee Titans consider Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Steve Wilks a candidate to fill their head coaching vacancy, a source told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

He was reportedly scheduled to interview for the position Wednesday, but it was postponed due to snow. Wilks has apparently also been considered for head coaching jobs with the Indianapolis Colts, Arizona Cardinals, Detroit Lions, and New York Giants this offseason.

Wilks held the Panthers' DC job for one season, helping the defense to a seventh-ranked finish, but has served as assistant head coach to Ron Rivera since 2015.

The Titans are also reportedly interviewing Houston Texans defensive coordinator Mike Vrabel and Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur for the job.
