NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans have hired Mike Munchak as the franchise’s 16th head coach, deciding to promote from within to replace Jeff Fisher.
The Titans confirmed the hiring Monday.
Munchak, a favourite of team owner Bud Adams, was the first man interviewed to replace Jeff Fisher and had been considered the top candidate.
It will be Munchak’s first head coaching job. He turns 51 next month.
The Titans are the only franchise the offensive line coach and Hall of Fame lineman has ever played or worked for since being selected eighth overall by the then-Houston Oilers in 1982.
