(AP) - The Tennessee Titans have fired offensive coordinator Norm Chow after a season of struggling to score points and reaching the playoffs for the first time since 2003.
Titans coach Jeff Fisher confirmed the dismissal in a short statement.
Fisher said the day after his Titans lost an AFC wild-card game to San Diego 17-6 that improving the offense was his top priority this offseason. They ranked 21st overall in total offense and became the first team with only nine touchdown passes to reach the playoffs in a 16-game season.
After a week of evaluating the team, Fisher told Chow he would not be retained as offensive coordinator.
Fisher lured Chow from the same post at USC to the NFL in 2005. Chow was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at North Carolina State in 2000. During his stint in Raleigh, he tutored quarterback Philip Rivers.
