The Tennessee Titans announced the hiring of Keith Millard as a defensive assistant who will specialize in improving the team's pass rush. A 1984 first-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings, Millard was a two-time Pro Bowler and NFL Defensive Player of the Year (1989) in a career that also included stints with the Seattle Seahawks, Green Bay Packers, and Philadelphia Eagles. Millard has spent the last eight seasons coaching defensive lines with the Denver Broncos, Oakland Raiders and last season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. "We are bringing Keith in to help all of our players with their pass rush skills, whether that is the d-line, Akeem Ayers and the linebackers or even the defensive backs," said Titans head coach Mike Munchak. "His position is actually one that I considered for the staff when I took over last year, but the timing didn’t allow for it. Keith brings a great deal of energy and passion in addition to a great demeanor. "Unfortunately, I can personally attest to his ability as a player, but he also has the rare ability to teach the game within the game and the art of the pass rush."
