Mike Munchak fired by Tennessee Titans

The positive signs for Mike Munchak’s future with the Tennessee Titans turned out to be short lived.

The Titans fired Munchak on Saturday, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported, per a team source. ESPN first reported the firing and the team later confirmed the move.

Munchak compiled a 22-26 record in three seasons as head coach. He had been with the organization for 32 seasons — since the Houston Oilers drafted the Hall of Fame offensive lineman in 1982.

As late as Friday evening, indications suggested Munchak might keep his job, assuming some adjustments were made with his assistant coaching staff.

According to Rapoport, Munchak could have kept his job if he were willing to make changes to his staff. Gregg Williams becoming defensive coordinator was one change and firing offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains was another one that Titans brass insisted upon, Rapoport reported.
