The city of Nashville and the Tennessee Titans suffered a significant loss earlier in the offseason when longtime coach and radio broadcaster Dave McGinnis unexpectedly passed away, leaving a void throughout the organization and the community.

On Thursday, the Titans announced that they will honor their former assistant coach and radio analyst by inducting McGinnis as the 20th member of the Titans Ring of Honor during the regular season.

“Coach Mac represented the best of us,” Owner Amy Adams Strunk said in a statement. “His selflessness, passion for the game, and ability to bring out the best in others truly embodied what it means to be a Tennessee Titan. From his time on the field as a coach to the moments he narrated in the radio booth, his contributions to our organization are immeasurable. We are honored to induct him into the Titans Ring of Honor this season.”

McGinnis was a beloved figure inside and outside the organization. A true NFL ambassador, he spent eight seasons of his storied coaching career as an assistant for Jeff Fisher and Mike Munchak from 2004-2011, and then rejoined the organization as a broadcaster in 2017, where he stayed until his unfortunate passing in April.
