The Tennessee Titans parted ways with offensive coordinator Todd Downing, the team announced Monday.

Tennessee also fired offensive line coach Keith Carter, secondary coach Anthony Midget, and offensive skill assistant Erik Frazier.

The Titans finished the season with a 7-10 record and a bottom-three offense, averaging just 296.8 total yards per game. They had the fifth-worst scoring offense at 17.5 points per contest.

Starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill missed five games with injuries this season, but even with him under center, the offense only eclipsed 300 yards passing in one matchup.

Running back Derrick Henry was one of the few bright spots from a statistical standpoint, finishing with 1,936 yards from scrimmage, including 1,538 on the ground. He scored 13 touchdowns en route to his third Pro Bowl selection.

Although Henry finished second in the NFL in rushing yards - behind Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs - the Titans were only 13th in team rushing.

Downing joined Tennessee in 2019 and became offensive coordinator in 2021.
