It’s already been an interesting offseason for the Tennessee Titans.
Now, as of Wednesday, inside linebackers coach Tyrone McKenzie is parting ways with the team.
The Athletic’s John Glennon reported the news, and it has since been confirmed by several other reporters, despite the team not yet announcing it.
With this, the Titans are in the market for their next defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach.
McKenzie will be joining the Detroit Lions’ coaching staff, as reported by 104.5 The Zone’s Brent Dougherty.
McKenzie has a connection to the Lions already, as Matt Patricia was his first position coach back when he was drafted by the New England Patriots in 2009.
Most could agree that McKenzie did a solid job in Nashville since joining the staff in 2018, with continually strong performances from players like Jayon Brown, David Long and Rashaan Evans.
Why McKenzie and the Titans went separate ways and what the decision ultimately came down to remains unclear.
McKenzie’s name was removed from the team’s online list of current coaches earlier in the week.
