THE EARLY YEARS: A TIME OF STRUGGLE AND HOPE

The Titans franchise was born in 1999, when the Houston Oilers relocated to Tennessee. The move was met with skepticism and resistance, as many fans in Houston were reluctant to see their beloved team leave. Undeterred, the Titans embarked on a new chapter in their history, determined to prove themselves worthy of their new home.

The early years in Tennessee were challenging. The Titans struggled on the field, finishing with a dismal 3-13 record in their inaugural season. Off the field, the team faced financial difficulties and internal turmoil. But amidst the adversity, there were also signs of hope.

In 1999, the Titans drafted running back Eddie George, who would become one of the most iconic players in franchise history. George was a powerful and elusive runner who helped ignite the Titans offense. In 2000, the Titans hired Jeff Fisher as head coach. Fisher was a young and charismatic leader who quickly established a culture of accountability and discipline.

THE RISE TO PROMINENCE: A TIME OF GLORY AND TRIUMPH

Under Fisher's leadership, the Titans began to turn things around. In 2000, they won their first AFC Championship and advanced to the Super Bowl, where they narrowly lost to the St. Louis Rams. The Titans continued to be a force in the NFL in the early 2000s, reaching the playoffs every year from 2000 to 2003.

The Titans' success on the field was due in large part to the emergence of several young stars. Quarterback Steve McNair became one of the most dangerous playmakers in the league, while wide receiver Derrick Mason and tight end Frank Wycheck formed one of the most prolific passing attacks in the NFL.

THE TRAGEDY OF SEPTEMBER 11TH: A TIME OF HEARTBREAK AND HEALING

On September 11th, 2001, the world changed forever. The Titans were deeply affected by the tragedy, as several players and staff members lost loved ones in the attacks. The team responded with courage and compassion, rallying together to support those who had been affected.

In the aftermath of 9/11, the Titans played a key role in the healing process for the city of Nashville and the nation as a whole. Their victories on the field provided a sense of hope and resilience, and their unwavering support for the victims of the attacks showed the true spirit of the team.

THE RETURN TO GLORY: A TIME OF RESILIENCE AND TRIUMPH

After a few lean years in the mid-2000s, the Titans returned to glory in 2019. Led by quarterback Ryan Tannehill and running back Derrick Henry, the Titans won the AFC South and reached the AFC Championship Game. The team's success was a testament to the resilience and determination of the players and coaches.

In 2023, the Titans are once again poised to make a run at the Super Bowl. With a talented roster and a strong coaching staff, the Titans have all the ingredients necessary to achieve their ultimate goal. The journey of the Titans has been a rollercoaster of emotions, but through it all, the team has remained united and unbreakable. Titans Together is a story of triumph, tragedy, and the power of the human spirit.

Kevin Hodge's Titans Together is a must-read for any fan of the Titans or football in general. It is a story that will inspire and motivate, and it is a reminder of the unbreakable bonds that can be formed through adversity.

Whether you are a longtime Titans fan or just discovering the team for the first time, Titans Together is a book that you will not want to miss.
