While several of his hot-seat brethren are already out of work today, Titans coach Mike Munchak just found out he gets to keep his chair.

Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean reports that Titans owner Bud Adams has told Munchak he’s safe for next year.

Of course, Munchak will need to get a quarterback healthy and then make him better if he’s going to hang onto that job more than next year.

Munchak’s longtime ties to Adams from his days as an Oilers offensive lineman and assistant coach helped. With a 15-17 record, he probably won’t have many more chances to turn things around.
