Frank Wycheck To Take Year Off From Titans Radio Broadcasts

NASHVILLE, TN — Frank Wycheck, the beloved former Tennessee Titans tight end, will take a year off from his role as color analyst on the team's radio broadcast with veteran coach Dave McGinnis filling his spot. Wycheck is expected to return for the 2018 season.

"After multiple discussions with Frank (Wycheck), it was agreed that he will take this season off from the radio broadcasts and return next season. With the season quickly approaching, we have reached an agreement with Dave McGinnis to fill-in for Frank this season. Coach Mac has a deep knowledge and passion for the game, along with eight years as a coach with the Titans. He is very excited about taking on this role and we think he will fill in admirably," the team said in a statement Wednesday.

Wycheck suffered numerous concussions during his playing career and suffered a fall and possible concussion last November, forcing him to take a week off from the broadcast during a road game in San Diego.

McGinnis served as linebackers coach and assistant head coach for the Titans between 2004 and 2011. Wycheck will continue his role as co-host on 104.5 The Zone’s Wake Up Zone.
