Titans Fire Special Teams Coordinator After Two Blocked Punts

12 months ago

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel announced on Monday that the team fired special teams coordinator Craig Aukerman after the team allowed two crucial blocked punts (one returned for a touchdown) in the Week 13 overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Vrabel replaced Aukerman with special teams assistant Tom Quinn. Punter Ryan Stonehouse injured his knee on the second blocked punt and will require season-ending surgery. The 32-year veteran Quinn is in his first year with the Titans and was with the New York Giants from 2006 to 2021, where he was the special teams coordinator from 2007-17 and the assistant special teams coach from 2018-21.
