All-Pro DT Jeffery Simmons Squashes Taylor Lewan Beef & Breaks Down Titans Coaching Search | Bussin'

Recorded: January 19th 2026 | On this episode of Bussin’ With The Boys, Will Compton and Taylor Lewan sit down with Titans DT and All-Pro Jeffery Simmons to break down the Titans’ season, locker room leadership, and Tennessee’s ongoing coaching search. Jeffery dives into film study, accountability, Mike Vrabel vs. Brian Callahan, why he believes the Titans need a defensive-minded head coach.

In The Intro the boys touch on some Kevin’s Natural Foods clean takes, their shoutout no free shoutouts, and their pet peeves for the week. Taylor also admits to hating snow (c’mon TAYLOR!).

The boys also finally squash the long-standing beef between Jeffrey Simmons and Taylor Lewan, revisiting their on-field altercation, locker room tension, and how it ultimately got resolved. The conversation expands into NFL coaching culture, leadership on and off the field, fatherhood, personal growth, and where Jeffery sees the Titans heading next.
