The Tennessee Titans have made a new addition to their coaching staff for the 2021 season.
According to multiple reports, the Titans are set to hire Kenechi Udeze as their assistant defensive line coach. He’ll work under Tennessee’s current defensive line coach, Terrell Williams.
Udeze was a former first-round pick of the Minnesota Vikings in 2004 out of USC. The former defensive end played four seasons in the NFL before being forced to retire early due to side effects from leukemia treatment.
In 2020, Udeze worked as the linebackers coach at Vanderbilt, where he spent one season. Before working at Vandy, Udeze held multiple coaching positions for different college programs and had a stint as the assistant defensive line coach for the Seattle Seahawks back in 2012.
This is the first addition the Titans have made to their coaching staff this offseason. Tennessee is in the market for both a defensive and offensive coordinator, also.
