The Tennessee Titans are hiring Jacksonville Jaguars pass-game coordinator Nick Holz to be their new offensive coordinator, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Holz spent only one season with the Jaguars, joining the team in 2023 after Jim Bob Cooter left the pass-game coordinator position vacant to become the Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator.
Jacksonville finished the 2023 season ninth in passing yards and 13th in total offense. However, the team struggled with miscues in the pass game and third-year quarterback Trevor Lawrence finished with 21 touchdowns and 14 interceptions — a step back from his 25 touchdowns and eight interceptions in 2022.
Poor play from the Jaguars’ offensive line and injuries at the receiver position (Christian Kirk missed five games and Zay Jones missed eight) contributed to the team’s offensive struggles. But a change to the team’s coaching staff, particularly in the pass game might not be the worst thing.
Holz will be tasked with bringing the Titans’ pass game to life after the team finished 29th in the NFL in both passing yards and passing touchdowns. Second-round rookie Will Levis was handed the reins to the offense in late October and finished his first season with eight touchdowns and four interceptions in nine starts.
