 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Bud Adams prefers sticking with people he knows for important jobs. The Tennessee Titans owner did just that Monday, picking a safety from his franchise's old Houston days as his first new general manager since 1994.
Mike Reinfeldt started 102 consecutive games for the then-Houston Oilers between 1976 and 1983 and lost to Pittsburgh in the AFC championship game in the 1978 and 1979 seasons — when the fans rallied around the phrase "Luv Ya Blue." He led the NFL with 12 interceptions in 1979.
Now Seattle's vice president of football operations, Reinfeldt was among seven candidates and three finalists to replace Floyd Reese, who resigned on Jan. 5, a month before his contract expired. Adams chose Reinfeldt and the opportunity to bring back a former Oiler to a team that relocated to Tennessee in 1997.
