Tennessee coach Mike Munchak has hired a couple new assistants, adding another former Houston Oilers' teammate and someone to focus on helping the Titans' defense rush the quarterback better.

Keith Millard fills a new spot on staff, a position Munchak said Monday he thought about adding a year ago. Millard, the 1989 Defensive Player of the Year, played eight seasons in the NFL and has coached the past nine. He was co-defensive line coach with Tampa Bay in 2011.

Steve Brown will be the assistant secondary coach. He spent the past nine years at the University of Kentucky with four as defensive coordinator, and he also spent six seasons coaching with the NFL's St. Louis Rams, including a Super Bowl win in 2000 over the Titans.
