As expected, the Tennessee Titans are already exploring their options to replace former offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, who recently became the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons.
Among the options they’re reportedly considering is Los Angeles Chargers quarterbacks coach Pep Hamilton.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero, Tennessee is set to interview Hamilton in the coming days. However, it appears the Titans will have some competition, as Hamilton is also set to interview with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Hamilton has become a hot name for coordinator jobs this offseason, especially after the meteoric rise of rookie Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, who exploded onto the scene in 2020.
#Chargers QBs coach Pep Hamilton has a big few days ahead. He’s interviewing for the #Titans OC job and the #Steelers OC job in the coming days, per me and @TomPelissero.

Hamilton already has experience as an offensive coordinator in the NFL, as he served as the Indianapolis Colts’ from 2013 to 2015.
As far as interviews for offensive coordinators go, this is the first that has been reported for the Titans since they lost Smith.
