The Tennessee Titans fanbase is about as happy as one could be following an epic collapse in the division and the team missing the playoffs after it was announced the Titans were firing Todd Downing.
The team made the announcement on Monday evening, parting ways with the embattled offensive coordinator after his two seasons at the helm.
The move needs no justification. We’ve all seen what has played out with the offense in each of the past two years. Granted, the issues extended beyond Downing’s play-calling, but he was no doubt a major problem himself.
Downing wasn’t the only coach the Titans parted ways with on Monday, as the team also fired offensive line coach Keith Carter, secondary coach Anthony Midget, and offensive skill assistant Erik Frazier.
But the Downing firing is the one that matters most. As you’d expect, Titans fans were thrilled when news came down that their favorite team will have a new play-caller in 2023.
Todd Downing is gone! Woohooo! Even Titans Raleigh is excited and he is only 2 years old! Lol. #titans @TitanUpNetwork pic.twitter.com/wEvurjJz8V

The 7-game losing streak was awful to watch, but it lead to the #Titans firing Todd Downing and getting the 11th pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. A very clear and bold silver lining there.

For two years I have been bitching about Todd Downing. I knew this was a horrible hire since day 1. I even hung up my titans jersey and refused to wear it until he got fired. I still feel empty with him being gone. What did this hatred for this incompetent idiotic man cost me? pic.twitter.com/Sj3XBEZcID

Todd Downing is finally gone!!! Maybe the #Titans can actually score more the 28 points next season…

Todd Downing should have been fired a year ago. But Mike Vrabel said he did a “great job” in 2021.
Instead we had to sit though 17 more games watching a bad play caller with no feel for in game situations or rhythm. #Titans
