Titans To Promote Todd Downing To Offensive Coordinator
4 years agoThe Tennessee Titans are expected to promote tight ends coach Todd Downing to offensive coordinator, according to a source. The last time the Titans made an internal promotion of a tight ends coach, it was former offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, who is now the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons. Downing was also the offensive coordinator for the Oakland Raiders in 2017 and directed an offense led by quarterback Derek Carr. Under Smith last season, Tennessee's offense was tied for the second-best offense in the NFL in terms of yards per game and was fourth-best in points per game. The good news for Downing is he'll be getting running back Derrick Henry, quarterback Ryan Tannehill and wide receiver A.J. Brown back in 2021, so the Titans offense should be relatively strong yet again.
