The Tennessee Titans have interviewed passing-game coordinator Tim Kelly about their offensive coordinator position, according to a source. Kelly is considered the strongest in-house candidate for the job after the team fired previous coordinator Todd Downing following the 2022 season. In addition to Kelly, Tennessee is known to be interested in Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy and senior assistant/quarterbacks coach Matt Nagy and Atlanta Falcons QBs coach Charles London for their offensive coordinator position. Known as one of the most run-heavy offenses in the NFL in recent seasons under head coach Mike Vrabel, the Titans could be looking to balance things out more moving forward.
The Tennessee Titans have decided to hire San Francisco 49ers director of player personnel Ran Carthon as their new general manager. Carthon has been the 49ers director of player personnel since 2017. He also worked with the Falcons and Rams earlier in his career. Carthon has an impressive front office career, so the Titans appear to be in good hands. He beat out Ryan Cowden and Bears assistant general manager Ian Cunningham for the job. In exchange, the 49ers will receive two compensation picks in exchange for Carthon.
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine failed to catch his only target in the Week 18 loss to the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars as the Titans were eliminated from postseason contention. It wasn't much of a surprise at all with quarterback Joshua Dobbs making his second straight start. Other than an out-of-nowhere 119-yard, two-touchdown performance in Week 10 against the Denver Broncos, Westbrook-Ikhine did very little for fantasy managers in a run-heavy Titans offense in 2022. The 25-year-old finished his third year in the NFL with 25 catches on 50 targets for 397 yards and three touchdowns in 17 games. Westbrook-Ikhine will head into the 2023 season well off the fantasy radar.
The Tennessee Titans fired offensive coordinator Todd Downing on Monday. In addition to Downing, the Titans let go of offensive line coach Keith Carter, secondary coach Anthony Midget and offensive skills assistant Erik Frazier. Tennessee finished the year 7-10 and lost their last seven games to miss out on a postseason spot. Despite Downing leaving, quarterback Ryan Tannehill said on Monday that he wants to return in 2023 after ending the year on Injured Reserve due to an ankle injury. The Titans would save around $18 million in salary cap space if they cut Tannehill this offseason after he finished with 2,536 passing yards, 15 total touchdowns and six interceptions in 12 games. Under Downing in 2022, the offense ranked 30th in the NFL in yards per game (296.8) and 28th in points per game (17.5).
The Tennessee Titans defense/special teams outperformed expectations in Week 18, as quarterback Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars offense were limited to just one touchdown in the 20-16 win over the Titans. The Jaguars' defense scored a touchdown, but the offense was held to just 222 yards, one touchdown, and two field goals. However, Tennessee's defense/special teams didn't make enough plays to have a big fantasy day and the season has come to an end.
