Nashville, TN – In a move that’s both nostalgic and strategic, the Tennessee Titans have officially named Hall of Famer and franchise legend Bruce Matthews as their new Offensive Coordinator, marking a stunning return to the organization where he made history as a player and coach.
The announcement was made during a special segment of Titans All Access, the team’s behind-the-scenes media platform that gives fans an inside look at operations, game prep, and exclusive interviews. The segment included preview footage of Matthews back at St. Thomas Sports Park, meeting with players and outlining his offensive vision for the future.
Matthews, a Titans icon and Pro Football Hall of Famer, spent 14 seasons with the organization as a player (dating back to the Houston Oilers era) and later served on the coaching staff from 2011 to 2013. Known for his football IQ, leadership, and toughness in the trenches, his return to the sidelines brings experience, stability, and a deep understanding of Titans culture.
“There’s nothing like coming home,” Matthews said during the broadcast. “This city, this team—it’s part of who I am. I’m excited to help lead this offense and be part of what’s coming next for Titans football.”
Titans Head Coach Brian Callahan praised the hire:
“Bruce brings unmatched knowledge, credibility, and passion. He’s a Titan through and through, and I know our players will thrive under his leadership.”
In addition to the announcement, Titans All Access previewed a new segment titled “Titans Football with Bruce Matthews,” a weekly feature that will break down game strategy, player development, and give fans a coach’s-eye view of the team’s progress throughout the season.
The return of Bruce Matthews is already generating major buzz among Titans fans and NFL media, with many calling it one of the most meaningful hires in recent franchise history.
Matthews is expected to begin his duties immediately, coordinating the offense and preparing for offseason training activities.
