Titans News: Two Titans coaches listed among potential OC candidates for 2024

[TitanKing]

In a recent article naming some of the top offensive coordinator candidates for openings around the league in 2024, two Tennessee Titans assistant coaches were listed among them. According to NBC Sports’ Peter King, Titans quarterbacks coach and pass-game coordinator Charles London and running backs coach and run-game coordinator Justin Outten are coaches to keep an eye on for offensive coordinator vacancies. Here’s what King said about London: Charles London, 48, QB coach/pass-game coordinator, Tennessee. A student of the run game who now has coached quarterbacks in Atlanta and Tennessee. Probably unfair to judge Tennessee’s passing game this year in a season of immense transition, but London’s work with Will Levis to get him to play well early is a credit to him. Well-respected as a teacher and idea person. And here’s his write-up on Outten: Justin Outten, 40, running backs coach/run-game coordinator, Tennessee. Interesting career path after being a center for Syracuse two decades ago. Entered the league in 2016 as a coaching intern under Kyle Shanahan in Atlanta, then worked for Matt LaFleur, also off the Shanahan/McVay tree, in Green Bay for three years before Nathaniel Hackett hired him as OC in Denver last year. Now rebuilding his rep under Mike Vrabel. Bright and experienced. While the Titans’ offense struggled overall in 2023, the job London did in the development of rookie quarterback Will Levis, who was impressive in his first season, is a big reason he should be considered a strong candidate. As far as Outten is concerned, the Titans’ run game wasn’t at its best, no doubt, but Derrick Henry still managed to break 1,000 yards despite a horrendous offensive line. Adding to that, rookie Tyjae Spears came along nicely and put together a strong rookie campaign, putting him in line to be the lead back in 2024. Considering how important it is to keep things consistent for a rookie signal-caller like Levis, losing London would be the much bigger blow. Tennessee should be doing all it can to keep him, but at the end of the day the Titans might not have a say in the matter, barring them firing offensive coordinator Tim Kelly and offering the job to London.
