Bill walsh, Sid Luckman & Ernie Zampese aren't available Detroit Lions In 2009, Downing went to the Detroit Lions with Scott Linehan as an offensive quality control coach. He was the assistant quarterback coach in 2010 and was promoted to the quarterbacks coach role from 2011–2013. While he was coaching quarterbacks in Detroit, Matthew Stafford averaged 4,885 yards, thirty touchdowns, and seventeen interceptions from 2011–2013. Buffalo Bills In 2014, Downing was the Buffalo Bills' quarterback coach. Oakland Raiders In 2015, Downing was hired by the Oakland Raiders as their quarterbacks coach under head coach Jack Del Rio. He is credited for helping Derek Carr become the first Raiders quarterback to be selected to a Pro Bowl since 2002. On January 20, 2015, Downing was named by Pro Football Focus as Quarterbacks Coach of the Year. After coaching Raiders quarterbacks for two years, he was promoted to offensive coordinator in 2017, after the Raiders decided not to renew Bill Musgrave's contract. When he coached Carr from 2015–2016, he threw for 7,924 yards, sixty touchdowns, and nineteen interceptions with two Pro Bowl appearances. Downing was fired on January 1, 2018, along with head coach Jack Del Rio and the rest of Del Rio's staff after dropping from 12–4 to 6–10 due to a major regression of the offense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRy56 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Seems like a solid hire. The goal was to add experience to the room and they certainly added a ton.

Dinamite Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Interesting. Jets have hired the run game and pass game coordinators (yes downing was OC) from titans for last two years.

I want nothing to do with any offensive play not named Henry and don't even want him anymore (foot). DOn't want Tannehill or this joker. I swear if we get Tannechoke as our "veteran" qb.. you can forget about winning anything meaningful. sure we could make the playoffs but that will be it.
