Bruce Matthews, Hall of Fame offensive lineman for the Tennessee Titans franchise since the latter years of their Houston Oilers period, has joined his former linemate Mike Munchak on Tennessee’s coaching staff.

The Titans inked Matthews to a two-year contract. He’ll also get to coach his son, Kevin Matthews, a Titans practice squad center.
