Nick Holz is in his first season with the Titans as offensive coordinator. He arrived in Tennessee in 2024 with 11 years of NFL coaching experience and 16 total years of coaching experience.

Holz (pronounced "HOLTS") joined the Titans after spending the 2023 campaign as the passing game coordinator for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Working in an offense that featured quarterback Trevor Lawrence, Holz helped the unit rank ninth in passing (242.7 yards per game) and 13th in points scored (22.2 points per game). Calvin Ridley posted 1,016 receiving yards and eight touchdowns, while Evan Engram led all NFL tight ends with 114 receptions for 963 yards. Engram's reception total was the second-best number in the Super Bowl era among all NFL tight ends (116 by Zach Ertz in 2018).

Before his stint in Jacksonville, Holz was the offensive coordinator for UNLV in 2022, which followed 10 campaigns with the Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders (2012-21). With the Raiders, he served in a variety of roles on offense, mostly focused on wide receivers. He served on the staff of three different Raiders head coaches and worked with a notable list of offensive minds, including Greg Knapp, Greg Olson, Bill Musgrave and Jon Gruden.

With Holz employed as Raiders assistant wide receivers coach in 2021, Hunter Renfrow earned Pro Bowl honors after posting career-best numbers with 103 catches for 1,038 yards and nine touchdowns. The team fielded the league's sixth-ranked passing offense (268.6 yards per game), and the team's wide receivers averaged 9.1 yards per target to finish fourth in the NFL.

In 2020, Holz helped oversee a position group that posted an NFL-best average of 15.2 yards per reception, the highest average yards per reception by a Raiders wide receiving corps since 2004. He continued to aid in the development of Renfrow, as the second-year receiver recorded then-career highs in receptions (56) and receiving yards (656), while adding two touchdown receptions. Renfrow's 105 receptions were the third-most by a player through his first two seasons in Raiders history. Newly-acquired Nelson Agholor posted 48 receptions for a career-high 896 receiving yards while tying a career high with eight touchdown receptions. Agholor was second in the NFL with six touchdown receptions of at least 20 yards, including five that were at least 40 yards—tied for fourth. His 18.7 yards per reception marked a career high and finished second in the NFL, while being etched in Raiders lore as the 10th-best all-time mark.

Holz helped guide fifth-round draft pick Renfrow in 2019 as he recorded one of the most productive rookie campaigns in club history. Renfrow recorded the second-most receptions (49) by a rookie in team annals, while his 30 receptions for first downs ranked first among fifth-round draft picks or later in Raiders franchise history. Under Holz, Renfrow became the eighth wide receiver since 2000 to be drafted in the fifth-round or later and record at least 600 receiving yards and four touchdown receptions as a rookie. Holz also aided wide receiver Tyrell Williams, who in his first season with the Silver and Black led the team in receiving touchdowns (six).

In 2018, the Raiders offense featured a 100-yard receiver through the team's first four contests, marking the first time the club had done so since 2005. Under Holz, veteran Jordy Nelson finished with 63 receptions, 739 yards and three touchdowns. Seth Roberts set career highs with 45 receptions and 494 yards and moved into second place in franchise history for the most touchdowns by an undrafted free agent (13).

Holz was named assistant wide receivers coach in 2017 and helped in the development of veteran duo Michael Crabtree and Amari Cooper's continued success. Crabtree led the club's receivers in receptions (58) and receiving touchdowns (eight) for the second straight year and became the first Raider since Tim Brown to record at least eight touchdowns in three straight years. Cooper totaled 48 receptions for 680 yards and a then-career-high seven touchdowns on the year. Cooper also earned AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors in Week 7 against Kansas City after he totaled 210 receiving yards, the second most in a game in club history.

In 2016, Holz helped Cooper earn his second consecutive Pro Bowl selection. Cooper led the team with 1,153 receiving yards on 83 catches (13.9 avg.) with five touchdowns, becoming the third player in NFL history with at least 1,000 yards and 70 catches in each of his first two seasons. Crabtree recorded his first 1,000-plus yard season since 2012, and led the team with 89 receptions, becoming the third Raider with multiple 85-catch seasons. Crabtree also recorded eight touchdowns, which ranked fourth among AFC receivers.

With Holz's assistance in 2015, first-round draft pick Cooper set rookie franchise benchmarks for receptions (72), receiving yards (1,070) and 100-yard games (five). His reception total established the NFL record for a wide receiver 21 years old or younger. Holz also helped Crabtree thrive during his first season in Oakland, leading the team with 85 receptions for 922 yards and nine touchdowns.

In 2014, Holz groomed the team's receiving corps while helping several free-agent acquisitions adapt into productive roles. Andre Holmes set career highs with 47 receptions and 693 yards, and second-year wideout Brice Butler emerged as a deep threat with 21 receptions and two touchdowns.

Holz's first season in Oakland was 2012, when he served on the staff that helped Rod Streater produce one of the most productive campaigns in recent history among undrafted rookies. His 39 catches tied for the third most among undrafted rookies since 2000 as well as the fourth most by any Raiders rookie. In Holz's second season with Streater in 2013, the second-year wideout led the offense with 60 catches and 888 yards.

Prior to joining the Raiders, Holz was an assistant at Stanford under head coach Jim Harbaugh (2008-10) and David Shaw (2011). Holz served as an offensive and operations assistant for the Cardinal and helped the team to appearances in the Sun Bowl, Orange Bowl and Fiesta Bowl. As an assistant quarterbacks coach, he helped Andrew Luck earn first-team All-American honors and finish as the runner-up in Heisman Trophy voting two times.

Holz began his collegiate coaching career in 2007 at Nebraska, where he served as offensive quality control coach and video intern for the Cornhuskers under head coach Bill Callahan.

At the University of Colorado, Holz was a three-year letter winner (2004-06) as a wide receiver and holder. He was voted by teammates as the recipient of The Regiment Award, presented annually to the Colorado senior who makes the greatest contribution to the team with the least recognition. He earned a bachelor's degree in communications.

A native of Danville, Calif., Holz attended De La Salle High School in Concord, Calif., where he was a part of the school's national-record 151-game winning streak and a No. 1 national ranking. He was named the team's most inspirational player following the Spartans' 2002 national championship season.

He is married to Christine.
