Once again, Mike Vrabel stayed in-house with another offensive coordinator hire, officially elevating Tim Kelly to the position earlier this week. Kelly was on staff last season working under Todd Downing under the title of Passing Game Coordinator.
Kelly spent three seasons as Houston’s offensive coordinator, running one the show with Deshaun Watson under center. Prior to that, Kelly was an offensive analyst and a tight ends coach. Mike Vrabel obviously knew him well, serving on staff with him during his time in Houston. Vrabel also spent plenty of time game-planning against his offenses twice a year.
Kelly now has a year of experience in Nashville under his belt, and is tasked with picking up the pieces from a dreadful output on offense last season.
