Tennessee Titans 2013 Media Guide Executive

In his 54th year as Founder, Owner, Chairman of the Board, President andCEO of the Titans/Oilers franchise, K.S. Bud Adams, Jr. is an enduringfigure in the NFL. As one of the original team owners and co-founder ofthe American Football League, he has guided his franchise to new heightssince relocating to Nashville in 1997, posting six playoff appearances, in-cluding an AFC Championship (1999), AFC Central title (2000), two AFCSouth titles (2002 & 2008), AFC Championship appearance (2002) and

Wild Card teams in 2003 and 2007.His success and longevity have led him to accumulate more wins than

any other current NFL owner (406). He saw his 400th career win (regularseason and playoffs) in the season finale in 2011 at Houston as the Titansdefeated the Texans. Consistently fielding winning teams, the franchise hasearned 21 playoff appearances in 53 seasons, a total that ranks eighthamong NFL teams since 1960. A native of Bartlesville, Okla., Adams interest in sports was first dis-played while at Culver Military Academy, where he earned letters in foot-ball, basketball and baseball. Upon graduation from Culver in 1940, Adamsattended Menlo College (Calif.), lettering in both rugby and football. Ad-ams then transferred to the engineering school at the University of Kansaswhere he also lettered in football for the Jayhawks. During his days at KU,Adams met his future wife Nancy Neville and began his loyal affiliation withSigma Chi Fraternity. In 1942, while still in school at KU, Adams joined the U.S. Naval Re-

serve. In July 1943, he was called to active duty in the Navys V-12 col-lege program, which allowed him to continue in school. In early 1944, hereceived orders to report to Midshipman Officer Specialty School at NotreDame where he earned his Navy ensign commission in an accelerated 60-day program. He was sent overseas and was assigned to a PAC-Fleet car-rier unit, where he served as an aviation engineering officer. He returnedto the U.S. in December 1945. Lt. j.g. Adams served as an aide in the U.S.Navys Congressional Liaison Office in Washington, D.C. prior to his dis-charge in 1946. Adams parlayed a 1946 chance stop in Houston, resulting from fog thatgrounded his plane, into a highly successful and diversified business em-pire which ranks him among the most prominent businessmen in the coun-try. In 1946, Adams started ADA Oil Company, which was a forerunner ofthe publicly-held American Stock Exchange-listed Adams Resources & En-ergy, Inc. (AE), an energy company engaged in the business of marketing

crude oil, natural gas and petroleum products; tank truck transportation ofliquid chemicals; and oil and gas exploration and production. Adams otherbusiness interests include extensive farming and ranching in California andTexas, cattle feeding, real estate, automobile dealerships and leasing. Hehas been a longtime collector of Western art and Native American artifacts. During his early business career, Adams, a year-round sports fan, wasan avid sponsor of amateur and AAU teams in basketball and softball. HisADA Oilers were a perennial power in the National Industrial BasketballLeague in the 50s, capturing third place in the national AAU tournamentin 1956. His interest in sports was further evidenced by past ownershipparticipation in professional baseball, basketball and boxing. Football history was made in Adams office in Houston on Aug. 3, 1959,where he and Lamar Hunt held a press conference to announce the for-mation of the new American Football League, which would begin playingin 1960. Hunt would have a team in Dallas, Adams would have a team inHouston, and other teams would be forthcoming. In his sixth decade as owner, the hardworking and aggressive Adamshas made professional football history numerous times. In 1968, AdamsOilers became the first AFL/NFL team to play its home games indoors bymoving into Houstons Astrodome. A team rich in tradition and pride, theOilers were the dominant team in the American Football League during the10-year era (1960-69), playing in the championship game four times (1960,1961, 1962, 1967) - and winning twice consecutively (1960, 1961); earningfour AFL Eastern Division Championships (1960, 1961, 1962, 1967); andmaking the playoffs five years out of 10 (1960, 1961, 1962, 1967, 1969).In 1970, the AFL merged into the expanded NFL, and Adams teams madethe playoffs 16 additional times (1978, 1979, 1980, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990,1991, 1992, 1993, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2007, 2008). In fact, the Oilersstreak of seven consecutive playoff appearances (1987-93) was the longeststreak in the NFL during that time span. In 2008, the franchise posted thebest record in the NFL (13-3), while capturing its fifth division title and sec-

ond AFC South crown (2002) after winningthe AFC Central division in 1991, 1993 and2000.

Always fearless in his decisions, Adamsconsistently has made significant moves thathave improved his franchise or the leagueas a whole. Even from the very beginning,

he was the man Lamar Hunt approachedfirst when forming the AFL. As the leaguestarted, Adams boldly signed players fromthe NFL (George Blanda) and poached oth-ers who chose the AFL over the NFL (BillyCannon). Through the years, he found waysto acquire Hall of Fame talent trading fora centerpiece of the defense in Curly Culp in 1974, trading four first-roundpicks to draft Earl Campbell in 1978, winning a bidding war for CFL staWarren Moon in 1984 and using back-to-back first-round picks in 1982and 83 to draft Mike Munchak and Bruce Matthews. Adams franchise alsowas the first in the AFL/NFL to play their games in an indoor stadium in1968. His teams also became a platform for diversity as 26 of the teams 53years have featured an African-American quarterback. Those quarterbacks(Moon, McNair, Young) combined to earn 13 playoff appearances, 11 ProBowls, an NFL Co-MVP (McNair, 2003), NFL Offensive Player of the Yea

honors (Moon, 1990), NFL Rookie of the Year (Young, 2006) and becamethe first and only African-American quarterback selected to the Pro FootbalHall of Fame (Moon, 2006). The Houston Oilers played their final season in 1996 at the HoustonAstrodome. In 1997, Adams led the National Football League into the MidSouth region, the last untapped area without a major professional sportThat feat allowed his team to be the first NFL franchise to call the VolunteeState home. During construction of the stadium in Nashville, the Tennes-see Oilers played the 1997 season at the Liberty Bowl in Memphis, and the1998 season at Vanderbilt Stadium in Nashville. On July 29, 1998, Adams announced that the Oilers name would bechanged beginning with the 1999 season. The Oilers name was retired bythe NFL a first in league history allowing the Tennessee franchise to retain the teams winning tradition, and launching a new era in the Mid-South The Tennessee Titans made their debut in 1999, in what is now calledLP Field. In Greek mythology, Titans were gods of strength and power

The Titan Prometheus brought fire to man, and the new Tennessee Titansbrought fire to the football fans in the Mid-South during a very memorableinaugural season, unveiling a new name, stadium, training facility, logo, uniform and colors.

In 14 seasons as the Titans, the franchise has won the American Foot-ball Conference Championship for the 1999 season (culminating in a trip toSuper Bowl XXXIV in Atlanta, where the Titans were defeated by the Ramsin one of the most exciting games in Super Bowl history), captured the AFCCentral Division Championship (2000) and AFC South Division Championships (2002, 2008), built an enormous home field advantage (69-43 recordat home) and the loyalty of millions of fans across the nation and throughouthe world. The popularity of the Titans has translated into 144 consecutivesell-outs at LP Field (through 2012). During Adams illustrious career, 67 of his players have been Pro Bowselections, including one AFL Most Valuable Player, two NFL MVPs and fiveoffensive or defensive Rookies of the Year. Also, nine of Adams playersincluding Curley Culp this year, have been inducted into the Pro FootbalHall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. In each of the past seven seasons, Adamswas nominated for the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a special contributor. Inrecognition of the 40th season of the Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans or-ganization, Adams created an official team Hall of Fame and Ring of Honothat features players and staff from the past, while creating a special placefor Titans stars of the future to be recognized. Adams has served on several prominent NFL committees, including theNFLs Finance, Hall of Fame, Legislative and Audit Committees; and wasa Trustee for the NFL Trust. Very active in national, state and local pro-grams, Adams is on the Board of Directors of the Cherokee Indian NationaHistorical Society; the Board of Trustees of the Pro Football Hall of Famein Canton, Ohio; the Board of Directors of the Boy Scouts of America -Sam Houston Area Council; and a Lifetime Director of The Hundred Clubin Houston.

ADAMS IN THE COMMUNITY

Football fans in the Mid-South applauded the relocation of the Titans toTennessee in 1997, but local charities should raise a cheer as well. Sincethe Titans moved to Tennessee, local charities have seen more than $20million flow into their organizations as a direct result of the Titans and theNFL. The great majority of the money and gifts have come from Mr. Adamsand the Tennessee Titans Foundation. In recognition of his many charitable endeavors, the Nashville SportsCouncil presented the 2000 Community Spirit Award to Adams at theirannual Dinner of Champions on Feb. 1, 2000. The award was given forAdams countless charitable contributions that helped so many in the MetroNashville community during 1999. Mr. and Mrs. Adams established the Tennessee Titans Foundation in1999 with an initial gift of $500,000. The Foundation offers financial supportand other resources to non-profit organizations. The Titans license plate has been a great success as fans can show

support for the team on their vehicle. In eight years, the Titans specialtyplate has generated approximately $2.3 million dollars for Tennessee charities through the Titans Foundation. In addition to the Tennessee Arts Commission, the following 10 organizations receive equal shares from the pro-ceeds of the plate sales:

Tennessee Titans 2013 Media Guide Coaching Staf

Mike Munchak became the 16th head coach in franchise history and the

rst who was a former player for the team, when he was named to the post

on Feb. 7, 2011.

In his rst two seasons, he posted the third most wins (15) by a coach in

his rst full two seasons with the club.

Last year, the Titans elded their youngest team in seven years and

then dealt with an unprecedented number of injuries (most players on in-

jured reserve in 20+ years with 16) as the team nished with a 6-10 record.Tennessee also played the third most difcult schedule in the AFC as they

played seven games against teams that qualied for the postseason. Those

obstacles aside, Munchak saw the young talent on the roster progress as

WR Kendall Wright led NFL rookies in receptions, LB Zach Brown was the

only NFL rookie to nish among the top ve rookies in both interceptions

and sacks, second-year LB Akeem Ayers led the team in tackles and posted

six sacks, and QB Jake Locker completed his rst year as a starter.

In his rst season at the helm, he led the team to their rst winning sea-

son (9-7) since 2008, and was one of only two rookie head coaches (Jim

Harbaugh) to post a winning mark in 2011. He did so through hard work and

restoring a sense of professionalism into the team.

A true product of one organization, Munchak has spent the last 31 years

with the franchise as a player and coach. After a 12-year playing career as

a guard for the Houston Oilers, he spent three seasons assisting the coach-

ing staff. Munchak became the offensive line coach in 1997 and held that

position for 14 years (1997-2010). Four of his players totaled 10 Pro Bowlinvitations and his offensive lines have paved the way for ve different run-

ning backs to total an NFL-high 12 1,000-yard rushing seasons from 1997

- 2010.

In 2001, he became the fth franchise player to be inducted into the Pro

Football Hall of Fame. He earned nine Pro Bowl invitations during his career

and was bestowed the honor of having his Oilers number 63 jersey retired

in 1996.

Munchak, as a coach, is acknowledged as one of the nest teachers in

the game. Only twice during his role as offensive line coach did he have the

benet of starting the same starting ve linemen from one year to the next;

yet, the Titans offensive lines were perennially one of the best units in the

NFL. His offensive lines allowed the second fewest sacks (28.3 sacks per

season) in the NFL with him leading the group from 1997 - 2010.

Additionally, the Titans ranked seventh in the league in rushing yards

(124.5 yards per game) during his tenure as offensive line coach and to-

taled seven NFL top 10 nishes in rushing yards (1997, 98, 2000, 06, 07,

08, 09). The highlight for the group was a 2,000-yard rushing season in

2009 by Chris Johnson, who became just the sixth player in league history

to reach that mark.

He has seen Bruce Matthews, Brad Hopkins, Michael Roos and Kevin

Mawae earn Pro Bowl invitations from his group in addition to providing

protection for Pro Bowlers Eddie George, Steve McNair, Vince Young, Kerry

Collins and Chris Johnson. His group aided McNair to NFL co-MVP (2003)

and Johnson to Offensive Player of the Year (2009) honors. In addition to

working with the elite players, he has consistently taken young, mid-to-late

round talent and molded them into long-time NFL starters, including Da-

vid Stewart, Leroy Harris, Eugene Amano, Jacob Bell, Benji Olson, Justin

Hartwig, Kevin Long and Jon Runyan. As evidence of the stellar line play,

the Titans produced ve different 1,000-yard rushers (George, Brown, T.

Henry, White, Johnson) over his last eight seasons as offensive line coach.

Currently, the Titans are the only team to produce 15 1,000-yard rushers

since 1997.

As a player, Munchak started 156 regular season games (seventh in

franchise history) and 10 playoff games for the Oilers between 1982 and

1993. Respected for his play, he was selected to the 1980s NFL All-Decade

Team. Chronic knee problems led him to retire while still at the top of his

game. In his nal year, he earned All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors. A versatile

player, he started his career in a run-rst offense with Earl Campbell and

transitioned to a pass blocker in the Run N Shoot offense guided by Warren

Moon.

PHILOSOPHY/BACKGROUND

As a coach, he is a throw-back to the coaches of the past who believe

in the deep-rooted fundamentals of quality football teams smart, physi-

cal, consistent, committed and passionate players. Those roots come from

his up-bringing in the sport. A fullback and

defensive lineman at Scranton (Pa.) Central

High School, he transitioned to the offensive

line upon his arrival at Penn State. Spending

four years under the leadership of the late

Joe Paterno, he saw rst-hand how teams

were built and the fundamentals that cre-

ated those championship-contending teams.Incredibly, Munchak became the rst of Pa-

ternos players to take the helm of an NFL

team.

At Penn State, Munchak lettered in 1979

and 1981 as a guard, and he red-shirted dur-

ing the 1980 season with a knee injury. He

entered the draft with year of eligibility remaining, but degree in-hand; and

he became the rst offensive lineman selected with the eighth pick overal

in the 1982 NFL Draft by the Houston Oilers.

Munchak joined the Oilers at a time of great transition as the Luv Ya

Blue era had reached its peak and an aging team was being rebuilt through

the draft and specically through drafting high-caliber offensive linemen

Munchak was the rst of three consecutive offensive linemen drafted in the

rst round by the Oilers (Bruce Matthews, 1983; Dean Steinkuhler, 1984)

and as Earl Campbell nished his Oilers career, a line was being built to

protect a yet-to-be-determined quarterback that became Warren Moon in1984. As the team grew together around its young offensive line and quar

terback, the foundation was laid for seven consecutive playoff appearances

between 1987 and 1993 and a new style of football in the Run N Shoo

offense. During this time Munchak became a perennial Pro Bowl selection

earning nine trips to Hawaii (1984-85, 87-93) and eventually being named

to the 1980s NFL All-Decade Team.

In 2001, he was presented at the Pro Football Hall of Fame by his grea

friend and former teammate Bruce Matthews, who became the rst active

player to present a player for induction. And when Matthews claimed his

spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2007, Munchak returned the favo

and presented his long-time friend for induction. Munchak was inducted into

the Titans/Oilers Hall of Fame in 1999.

During his time as a player, the Oilers elded six top 10 offenses, pro

duced two of the franchises four 400-point seasons, had four 1,000-yard

rushers, totaled a franchise record 6,222 total yards in 1990 and Warren

Moon earned NFL Offensive Player of the Year honors (1990).

Upon the completion of his career, Munchak joined the front ofce in

1994 and assisted the coaching staff. He ofcially became a coach in 1995

as a quality control coach for the offense. Jeff Fisher promoted him to of-

fensive line coach prior to the 1997 season. He remained in that role unt

becoming head coach in 2011.

Earning a business degree at Penn State, Munchak was known to his

teammates as a smart businessman. He partnered with Bruce Matthews to

secure the regional distribution rights to Snapple and owned a number o

Gold Gyms in Texas.

Among his many honors, Munchak has been elected to the Pennsylva

nia, Texas and Polish-American Sports Halls of Fame. Additionally, he was

honored as one of the 38 Sports Legends of Houston prior to Super Bow

XXXVIII.

Munchak is involved with several charity events, including annual go

tournaments in Scranton and Houston that date back to his time as a player

In 2012, he started the annual Strikes to Stop Diabetes a charity bowling

event in Nashville. The cause is near to him as his wife and mother live

with the condition.

Munchak is a native of Scranton, Pa., and is married to Marci. The cou

ple has two grown daughters Alexandria and Julie.

Dowell Loggains is in his sixth season as a Titans coach and rst full season

as offensive coordinator. He was promoted to offensive coordinator on Nov.

26, 2012 after spending two-and-a-half seasons as quarterbacks/passing

game coach.

Loggains has worked with several successful NFL coordinators during

his time in the NFL, including Sean Payton, Norm Chow, Mike Heimerdinger

and Chris Palmer. These diverse inuences will be evident in an offense

that will employ elements of all of these mentors.

Last year, he started the season as the quarterback coach but added the

responsibility of offensive coordinator for the nal ve games of the season.

It was his rst time directing an offense and the team would win two of the

nal three games. Loggains guided Jake Locker in his rst season as the

Titans starter; and despite playing with an injured left shoulder, Locker im-

proved his completion percentage over his rookie season and posted two

300-yard passing performances.

In 2011, his rst season with quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, Loggains

helped the veteran passer learn a new offense and record the third highest

passing total of his career. Additionally, rookie Jake Locker looked polished

in spot duty as he totaled four touchdowns and no interceptions during vegames of action.

In 2010, despite the uncertainty at quarterback due to injuries, Kerry

Collins posted the third-best passer rating of his career (82.2) and Vince

Young registered the highest passer rating of his career (98.6).

For the previous two seasons (2008-09), Loggains was the quality con-

trol coach for the offense. He originally joined Tennessee as a coaching

administrative assistant (2006 & 2007).

Prior to joining the Titans, Loggains spent the 2005 season as a scout-

ing assistant with the Dallas Cowboys. His duties included assisting with

opponent lm breakdown, self-scouting and statistical analysis to be used

in game plan preparation.

A native of Newport, Ark., Loggains

(10/1/80) graduated with a Bachelor of Sci-

ence and masters degree in education from

the University of Arkansas. He was a four-

year letterman as a quarterback and holder

for the Razorbacks from 2000-04, appearing

in 50 games. Loggains was a two-year start-

er at quarterback for Abilene Cooper (Texas)

High School. He and his wife, Beth, have

two daughters, Reese and Aven, and reside

in Nashville.

Jerry Gray enters his third season as the Titans defensive coordinator after

rejoining the organization in 2011. He was previously a player and assistant

coach for the Titans/Oilers organization.

Last year, despite elding one of the youngest defenses in the NFL, the

Titans ranked seventh in the NFL in interceptions (19) and 10th in sacks

(39). Over the nal seven games of the season, Tennessee ranked ninth in

third-down defense, second in interceptions and fourth in sacks.

In his rst season at the helm of the Titans defense, the team rankedhighly in a number of categories, including eighth in scoring defense (19.8),

10th in red zone defense and fourth in passing yards per attempt (6.45).

In his 17th year as an NFL coach, Gray entered the pro coaching ranks

in 1997 as a defensive quality control coach for the Tennessee Oilers. He

held that position for two seasons, before being promoted to secondary

coach for the 1999 and 2000 seasons. Under his direction, CB Samari Rolle

and S Blaine Bishop earned All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors in 2000; and as a

group, the Titans ranked rst in the NFL in fewest passing and total yards

allowed.

In 2001, then-Titans defensive coordinator Gregg Williams was named

head coach for the Buffalo Bills and Gray went with Williams to become the

Bills defensive coordinator. He spent ve years as defensive coordinator

with Buffalo from 2001-05. His defenses in 2003 and 2004 each ranked

second in the NFL for yards allowed, and both were rated in the top 10 in

points allowed. His 2004 defense led the NFL in takeaways with 39, ranked

third in sacks with 45 and fth in red zone defense. The 2004 unit saw DTSam Adams and LB Takeo Spikes earn Pro Bowl selections.

He rejoined Williams defensive staff at the Washington Redskins in

2006 as secondary coach and would stay for four years (2006-09). In 2008,

the Redskins ranked fourth in defense and sixth in points allowed. Under

his coaching, S Sean Taylor blossomed into one of the NFLs best young

safeties and earned Pro Bowl selections in both 2006 and 2007 before his

tragic death. In Grays one season (2010) at

Seattle, S Earl Thomas registered a fantastic

rookie campaign as he totaled ve intercep-

tions and started all 16 games.

As a player, Gray was a four-time Pro

Bowler during a nine-year NFL career with

the Los Angeles Rams (1985-91), Houston

Oilers (1992) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers(1993). He nished his career with 28 inter-

ceptions, was named the NFLs Defensive

Back of the Year in 1989 and was a four-time

Pro Bowler who earned MVP honors at the

Pro Bowl in 1990. A graduate of the Universi-

ty of Texas, Gray was a rst-round pick (21st

overall) by the Rams in the 1985 NFL Draft. While playing at Texas, he was

a two-time consensus All-American and two-time Southwest Conference

Defensive Player of the Year. For his career at Texas, he was honored with

inclusion on the Texas All-Time Team and All-Decade Team for the 1980s.

A native of Lubbock, Texas, Gray broke into the coaching ranks with a

two-year stay at Southern Methodist University as the secondary coach. He

and his wife, Sherry, have two sons, Jeremy and Jayden.
