NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Mike Vrabel announced the firing of Special Teams Coordinator Craig Aukerman this afternoon.

Tom Quinn will take over the role of Special Teams Coordinator for the rest of the season.

This is coming after a recent loss to the Colts on Sunday 31 - 28 in overtime.

Not only the loss but the Titans suffered major blows with Ryan Stonehouse needing season-ending surgery, Derrick Henry being in concussion protocol, and Jeffery Simmons will miss a couple of weeks due to his injury.

During the game, the Titans' special teams had some major mistakes with Stonehouse fumbling, a punt being blocked and Nick Folk missing a PAT due to a bad hold by Ryan Tannehill who was in replacing Stonehouse due to injury in the 4th quarter.
