Tennessee Titans add two defensive staff under reign of head coach Mike Munchak – NFL News
The Tennessee Titans have decided to better equip their defensive coaching department by adding to its assistant coaching staff strength, a move that has apparently come with the approval of their head coach, Mike Munchak.
As of the latest, the team management is reported to have hired two assistant coaches to work under the reign of their head coach to build up the potential of their defensive squad.
The new signees include Keith Millard. He was a co-defensive line coach at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2011. Millard is Munchak’s former teammate from Houston Oilers, who are now Houston Texans.
He was a defensive player of the year in 1989 and has played football for eight seasons on the National Football League (NFL).
The new assistant coach will take a new position under the head coach, who said that he had thought of creating the position with focus on their defence line a year ago.
Another assistant staff, Steve Brown, will work as an assistant secondary coach at the team. Brown had been a defensive co-ordinator at the University of Kentucky for last four years. He has also spent about six years while coaching the St. Louis Rams.
They are first significant hiring by the Titans since finishing of their 2011 National Football League (NFL) run as the second best team on the American Football Conference (AFC) South division.
At the end they were unlucky to not have made it to playoff through the last wild card. The unexpected development on the league’s points table pushed the Titans out of the way, giving an out of the blue chance to the Cincinnati Bengals.
The team finished the AFC South leader, Houston Texans, with the score of 9-6 on the league table. It was their loss against the previously winless, the Indianapolis Colts, that made a difference for them at the end, pushing them back in their chances for
a playoff berth.
It was first year of Munchak with the Titans and the team is apparently pleased with their performance. They were down at the score of 6-10 (six wins and losses) a year earlier.
The team management have given due credit to their head coach to turning around the side in the short period of a year and entrusted him with the power to reshuffle the side at certain positions if it is needed.
Munchak has introduced two new coaches to their defensive department amid their focus of further strengthening of their defence line with next season on mind.
The new signees are expected to join the team soon, bolstering their defence to supplement their efforts and hopes for a better year in the NFL season.
These are the very rare developments at the Titans who are most of the time are at relatively peace without much hustle bustle of hiring firing.
