Titans players, Twitter react to Falcons hiring Arthur Smith

The Tennessee Titans are officially in the market for a new offensive coordinator after the Atlanta Falcons hired Arthur Smith for their head-coaching vacancy on Friday.

It’s a bittersweet moment for the Titans, as they’re no doubt happy for Smith getting the well-deserved gig, but also have to replace an offensive coordinator who had a ton of success in two seasons.

Since Week 7 of the 2019 campaign, Smith’s offense has been one of the best in the NFL. In 2020, Tennessee had arguably its best offensive season in team history, finishing third in total yards, fourth in points, and second in rushing.

On Smith’s watch, we saw running back Derrick Henry become a superstar, quarterback Ryan Tannehill have a career resurgence and wide receiver A.J. Brown emerge as one of the best young players in the NFL.

Tennessee will now be on its third offensive coordinator since head coach Mike Vrabel took over in 2018 after Matt LaFleur was hired away by the Green Bay Packers in 2019.

After the hiring was announced, Titans players took to Twitter to react to the news. Here’s a look at what they had to say, as well as the rest of Twitter, about Smith landing a new job.
