Former Buccaneers Coach Signs With Tennessee Titans As Defensive Assistant

In the past few years, women have become involved in the NFL at a rate never seen before, with several referees and coaches playing minor roles, and yesterday, we saw more history made, as for the first time ever, the Tennessee Titans will employ a female on their coaching staff for the first time ever.

That would be Lori Locust, who has been making her way through the ranks with the Baltimore Ravens and Tampa Bay Buccaneers in recent times, but now she will be working as an assistant defensive coach in Tennessee.
