NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Frank Wycheck, the tight end who threw the lateral on the Music City Miracle, won’t be in the Titans Radio booth as the team’s color analyst for the 2017 season.
Veteran coach Dave McGinnis will replace him, though it may only be for a year.
McGinnis has been in coaching since 1973 and his career included 31 seasons in the NFL. He was assistant head coach to Jeff Fisher with the Los Angeles Rams in 2016.
McGinnis served as head coach of the Arizona Cardinals from 2000-03 and joined Fisher’s Titans staff in 2004. He spent eight years in Nashville before five with the Rams.
He’s a gifted and enthusiastic storyteller who will bring a new perspective to games working with play-by-play man Mike Keith.
Because of personal issues, Wycheck has missed a good share of the offseason on The Wake Up Zone, the morning show on 104.5 the Zone. (Disclaimer, I also work at the station.)
He was on the air this morning and revealed he would not be in the booth on game days this year.
