NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – A person familiar with the situation says the Tennessee Titans have hired Mike Munchak as the franchise’s 16th head coach, deciding to promote from within to replace Jeff Fisher.
The person spoke Monday to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team had not publicly announced the hiring.
But Munchak was the first man interviewed to replace Jeff Fisher and had been considered the top candidate as a favorite of team owner Bud Adams.
Munchak turns 51 in March, and this will be the first head coaching job for the offensive line coach and Hall of Fame lineman with the only franchise that Munchak has ever played or worked for since being selected eighth overall by the then-Houston Oilers in 1982.
