About Tennessee Titans
The Tennessee Titans are a professional American football team from Nashville, Tennessee. They are currently members of the Southern Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). The Titans were previously known as the Oilers and were originally from Houstan, Texas. They began as a charter member of the AFL in 1960 and won two AFL Championships before joining the NFL as part of the AFL-NFL merger. The team relocated to the state of Tennessee in 1997, first playing in Memphis for one season before moving to Nashville. For two seasons, they were known as the Tennessee Oilers before changing their name to Titans in 1999. Franchise history
Houston Oilers era (1960-96)
The Tennessee Titans began playing in 1960 as a charter member of the AFL. The team was originally known as the Houston Oilers and was owned by a Houston oilman, Bud Adams how had made several bids for an NFL expansion team in Houston but had been unsuccessful. Adams was considered the second-most influential of the eight original AFL owners, after Dallas Texans/Kansas City Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt, as they were more financially stable as compared to the others.
The Houston Oilers appeared in the first three AFL championships and scored an important victory in the first year with the help of star player, LSU's Heisman Trophy winner and All-America running back, Billy Cannon. Cannon joined the team�s other star players including quarterback George Blanda, flanker Charlie Hennigan, running back Charlie Tolar, and guard Bob Talamini. The Oilers won their first-ever AFL championship against the Los Angeles Chargers in 1960.
Tennessee Oilers era (1997-98)
The Houstan Oilers were relocated to Tennesse in 1997 and were renamed the Tennesse Oilers. The Oilers' new stadium would not be ready until 1999 and the largest stadium in Nashville at the time was Vanderbilt University�s Stadium with a seating capacity of only 41,000. At first, the team�s owner rejected Vanderbilt Stadium even as a temporary facility and decided that the Oilers would play the next two seasons at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium in Memphis. This meant that the team would have to commute from Nashville to Memphis for games over the next two years. However, this proved unpractical as the people from Memphis were not interested in supporting a team that was only playing in their area on a temporary basis. Similarly, Nashvillians were not very keen on commuting 200 miles to see their team play.
The Tennessee Titans
In 1999, the team was renamed the Tennessee Titans. In 2002, the Titans made it to the AFC Championship Game but were defeated by Oakland who went on to lose Super Bowl XXXVII to Tampa Bay. In 2003, Titan�s quarterback Steve McNair won the MVP award along with Peyton Manning. The team made it to the playoffs that year, winning their first-round game against the Baltimore Ravens. However, the team lost in the AFC semifinals to the New England Patriots.
The 2004 season was overshadowed by an unusual number of player injuries and the team scored a disappointing 5-11, which was one of their worst records ever. During the next off season, a number of key players were cut or traded by the Titans management including Derrick Mason, Samari Rolle, Kevin Carter, and others. By 2005, the Titans had a new collection of players making them the youngest team to compete in the NFL. The team was a mix of rookies such as Adam "Pacman" Jones, RT Michael Roos, and talented receivers including Brandon Jones, Courtney Roby, and Roydell Williams. The team lost their first game of the season against the Pittsburgh Steelers 34�7 but won their Week 2 home-opener against the Baltimore Ravens 25�10. However, they lost their away match against the St. Louis Rams 31�27 followed by a defeat by their division rival, the Indianapolis Colts 31�10. They scored another victory against the new division rival, the Houston Texans 34�20, but then lost five consecutive games to the Cincinnati Bengals (31�23), the Arizona Cardinals (20�10), the Oakland Raiders (34�25), the Cleveland Browns (20�14), and finally to division rival, the Jacksonville Jaguars 31�28. The Titans went on to win a home game against the San Francisco 49ers 33�22, but then got defeated on the road by the Colts 35�3. Their last win of the season was a home match against the Texans 13�10, but was followed by three more losses to the Seattle Seahawks (28�24), the Miami Dolphins (24�10), and the Jacksonville Jaguars (40�13).
New players like RB Travis Henry, who was also band from four games after failing a drug test, greatly disappointed management who had brought him in with high expectations. Star players in 2005 included the QB Steve McNair, RB Chris Brown, TE Erron Kinney, and DE Kyle Vanden Bosch. Rookie Adam "Pacman" Jones, also made an impact on the special teams unit in 2005, including a notable 85-yd kickoff return against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The team's final 4�12 record for 2005 turned out to be the franchise's worst record since becoming the Tennessee Titans.
Season 2006 and recent news
In 2006, the team�s performance stepped up with a final record of 8-8. Star performers for the season included Vince Young who led the team to a 8�5 record as the starting quarterback with six consecutive wins. However the team lost its opportunity to make the postseason playoffs at the hands of the New England Patriots in a 40�23 defeat. In January 2007, Floyd Reese was resigned as the franchise's Executive Vice President/General Manager after thirteen seasons at the helm. He was replaced by Mike Reinfeldt on February 12 of the same year.
