Nashville, TN – Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Munchak’s opening state at today’s Training Camp Press Conference

I’ll just start by welcoming all of you here to opening day. This is our opening day for camp — 2012 Titans camp. Obviously you won’t get a chance to watch a practice for a couple days, but we’re getting started today. We’re excited.

This is probably my 30th NFL camp as a player and a coach. I’ve probably never said this—I don’t think I have said this publicly or out loud, and hopefully you won’t repeat it—but this is my favorite day of football. This is opening day, really those first 10 days of camp. «Read the rest of this article»

Tennessee Titans finish 9-7 in Munchak’s First Season as Head Coach

February 7, 2012 |

Titans to pick 20th in NFL Draft
Free Agency begins March 13th

Nashville, TN – When Mike Munchak was hired as head coach of the Tennessee Titans on February 7th, 2011, an uncertain landscape awaited him. The franchise had only recently parted ways with the only head coach in its Tennessee history, and team owner K.S. “Bud” Adams, Jr. had already made the decision to begin anew at the quarterback position.

But the foremost concern on the mind of team management, players and fans alike was whether or not there would even be a football season.

A year later, on the heels of a 9-7 season in which the Titans narrowly missed out on a playoff berth, the franchise is once again enjoying stability and a sense of hope. «Read the rest of this article»

Early Penalties Set Tone in the Tennesse Titans 23-17 loss to the Atlanta Falcons

November 20, 2011 |

Atlanta, GA – The Titans’ present — and playoff hopes — took a hit with a 23-17 loss to the Falcons Sunday, but young players on Tennessee delivered sparks that forecasted a bright future.

Rookie first-round draft pick Jake Locker relieved veteran Matt Hasselbeck (strained elbow) late in the third quarter with Tennessee trailing by 20. Locker showed composure, however, in leading the Titans to touchdowns twice in the three possessions he had at the Georgia Dome.

Rookie fourth-round draft pick Colin McCarthy relieved veteran middle linebacker Barrett Ruud in the second quarter, and finished with a team-high 10 tackles, including three for loss, and forced a fumble by Michael Turner that kept the Titans in the game.

December 19, 2010 |

Written by Teresa M. Walker
The Associated Press
 
Nashville, TN – The Tennessee Titans are breathing a very big sigh of relief, and not because their very slim playoff hopes remain alive for another week.

They finally won again.

Kerry Collins threw for two touchdowns and 237 yards and Chris Johnson ran for a TD and 130 yards as the Titans snapped a six-game skid by beating the Houston Texans 31-17 on Sunday.

With the win and Indianapolis downing Jacksonville 34-24, the Titans (6-8) stayed in the playoff hunt for another week with their first victory since October 24th. They also avoided being swept by the team that replaced them in Houston for only the second time.

Tennessee Titans quotes on the addition of wide receiver Randy Moss

November 5, 2010 |

Offensive Coordinator Mike Heimerdinger

I have been fortunate to work with a number of very talented receivers in my time in the league and Randy is obviously one of the best of all time, so I am looking forward to meeting him and getting him involved in our offense. We will plug him in at one spot and get him up to speed at that one position. I think he fits well into what we want to do as an offense and doesn’t require us to change anything. He should be a difference maker for the offense and other individual players on our offense. Again, I don’t know him, but I have heard he is competitive and smart football player.

TE Bo Scaife

I’m excited about getting Randy here. I’ve got a lot of respect for him, and he’s going to be a good fit for us. I know he’s going to help us, so you can’t really go wrong from that aspect. I hope he’s mad at those other teams passing him up and he comes in and gives us the best eight games of his career. «Read the rest of this article»
