Only four teams — and soon to be three — haven’t hired an offensive coordinator yet. It appears the Broncos are close to naming Rich Scangarello http://www.thetitanslockerroom.com/authentic-wesley-woodyard-jersey , but the Cardinals, Lions and Titans continue in their search.The Titans quietly have conducted their hunt for someone to replace Matt LaFleur.Tight ends coach Arthur Smith, who has coached in Tennessee since 2011 under four head coaches, is among the candidates, Paul Kuharsky of paulkuharsky.com reports. Smith would provide continuity to the offense.Smith joined the Titans staff when Mike Munchak was promoted to head coach, getting hired as a defensive quality control coach. He served as an offensive quality control coach in 2012 before earning a promotion to assistant offensive line/assistant tight ends coach in 2013.Smith was elevated to tight ends coach in the 2015 season when the Titans fired Ken Whisenhunt and made Mike Mularkey the head coach.Mike Vrabel retained Smith when he got the job last year. Arthur Smith becomes the fourth offensive coordinator that quarterback Marcus Mariota has had. The Titans quarterback now has had five play-callers heading into his fifth seasons.That’s enough change for anyone, so Smith said Tuesday he will stick with Matt LaFleur’s offense to give Mariota and some continuity.鈥淗e鈥檚 already changed enough,鈥?Smith said http://www.thetitanslockerroom.com/authentic-dennis-kelly-jersey , via Paul Kuharsky of paulkuharsky.com. 鈥淪o, when he comes in here, he鈥檒l know exactly how we鈥檙e reading plays; he鈥檒l know exactly how we鈥檙e calling plays. It just allows him to take another step. I think as the whole offense improves in Year Two, it will help the quarterback.鈥漈he key thing is keeping Mariota healthy. He has yet to play a full 16-game season. He played 14 games, starting 13, in 2018, missing a win-or-go-home season finale against the Colts.Smith said play calling can help Mariota in trying to keep him out of harm’s way.鈥淵ou make sure you keep changing the launch points for him, that helps Eddie George Jersey White ,” Smith said. 鈥淭he way the game is going, you鈥檙e able to run the ball or you鈥檙e able to move people off the line of scrimmage, it opens up a lot of things for him. So yeah, there鈥檚 certain areas of play-calling that go into it, and understand what your matchups may be week-to-week.鈥淲hether they鈥檙e inside or outside, the percentage these guys are going to blitz you in certain situations. That all factors into it. But play-calling definitely can help. It鈥檚 not the end-all be-all, but there definitely will be a conscious effort to keep him healthy.鈥
