After spending more than 30 years with the franchise as a player, assistant coach, offensive line coach and head coach, the run stops here for Mike Munchak.The Tennessee Titans fired Munchak today after he posted a 22-26 record in three seasons as head coach.
"First I want to thank Mike Munchak for his professionalism through this process and thank him for his years of dedication to the Titans/Oilers organization," general manager Ruston Webster said in a statement. "He is first-class and I wish him and his family nothing but the best.
"... The last week has been a difficult time trying to navigate through many issues to find the best resolution for this franchise moving forward. Tough choices were presented to all sides and the end result was to part ways and move forward without Mike. We will immediately begin a search for a new head coach."
Munchak had the Titans on track for the playoffs at the start of the season, but things soon hit a turn for the worst when Jake Locker went down with injury, which didn't help Tennessee even with a very serviceable backup in Ryan Fitzpatrick.
We'll see who Tennessee hires next.
