64th season in franchise history
The 2023 season was the Tennessee Titans ' 54th season in the National Football League (NFL), their 64th overall, their 27th in the state of Tennessee and their sixth and final under head coach Mike Vrabel . The Titans attempted to improve upon their underachieving 7–10 record from last year . They also attempted to make it back to the playoffs after missing them for the first time since 2018 . However, after a Week 15 loss to the Houston Texans in overtime, they were eliminated from playoff contention for the second year in a row.[ 1] The following week they were locked to last in the AFC South after losing to the Seattle Seahawks 20–17 in Week 16, and they failed to improve on their 7–10 record from 2022. On January 9, the Titans fired Vrabel.[ 2]
On January 9, 2023, the Titans fired offensive coordinator Todd Downing , offensive line coach Keith Carter , secondary coach Anthony Midget , and offensive skill assistant Erik Frazier.[ 3] Under Downing in 2022 , the Titans' offense was 30th in the league in yards and 28th in points-per-game.[ 4] Fans had called for his firing since during the 2021 season , and many celebrated his departure.[ 5] [ 6] Carter's offensive line under his tenure was consistently ranked low, and Midget's secondary finished 2022 as worst in the league in passing yards.[ 7] [ 8] On February 7, passing game coordinator Tim Kelly was promoted to offensive coordinator, Charles London was hired as the quarterbacks coach from the Atlanta Falcons , and Chris Harris was hired as the defensive pass game coordinator/cornerbacks coach from the Washington Commanders .[ 9] Lori Locust was hired from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as the first full-time female coach in Titans history, alongside Justin Hamilton , as defensive quality control coaches.[ 9] Jason Houghtaling was promoted to offensive line coach, Luke Steckel was moved to run game analyst, Pat O'Hara was moved to pass game analyst, and Tony Dews was moved to tight ends coach.[ 9]
Organizational changes [ edit ]
On January 18, 2023, the Titans hired San Francisco 49ers executive Ran Carthon as their new general manager.[ 10] The Titans had fired previous general manager Jon Robinson in December 2022 at the beginning of their seven-game losing streak.[ 11]
Reserve/future free agent contracts[ edit ]
The Titans signed 11 players to futures contracts on January 10, 2023. By January 23, the Titans had signed three additional players.[ 12]
