Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Titans are bringing in Vikings TEs coach Todd Downing as their new TEs coach under OC Arthur Smith.
Rapoport notes that Downing’s prior coordinator experience should help Smith, as he makes the transition to coordinator.
Downing, 38, began his NFL coaching career as an offensive quality control coach with the Vikings back in 2005. He then served as a defensive assistant the Rams before landing a spot with the Lions as an offensive quality control coach.
The Lions promoted him to QBs coach in 2011 before signing on with the Bills to the same position in 2014. The Raiders brought him on as their QBs coach in 2015 and promoted him to offensive coordinator in 2017 before he joined the Vikings as their new TEs coach last year.
In his first season as an NFL offensive coordinator, Oakland ranked No. 23 in total points, No. 18 in total yards, No. 16 in passing yards, and No. 25 in rushing yards.
