Titans ILB coach Tyrone McKenzie was NOT fired, says new report

The story of former Tennessee Titans inside linebackers coach Tyrone McKenzie leaving the team continues to take twists and turns.

After it was reported that McKenzie was moving on to become the linebackers coach with the Detroit Lions after two years as the inside linebackers coach in Nashville, Titans beat writer Paul Kuharsky reported that McKenzie was in fact fired from his job in Tennessee.

At the time that was surprising to find out because McKenzie is a well-respected guy who had done a great job with the team’s inside linebackers, and he was thought of as a potential candidate to replace retired defensive coordinator, Dean Pees.
