Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports News emerged on Friday that the Tennessee Titans are hiring Ramon Foster to be the team’s radio color analyst alongside play-by-play announcer Taylor Zarzour. Foster will be the replacement for longtime Titans radio analyst Dave McGinnis, who passed away in April .
Foster co-hosts the morning show Ramon and Will on 104. 5 The Zone, the flagship radio station for the Titans. He was also a sideline reporter for the Titans for two years before becoming a color commentator for the Tennessee Volunteers in 2025.
Additionally, he went to high school in Ripley, TN, and he played college football for the Vols. Still, the choice was surprising to some in the Titans-verse, in that the job was expected to be very appealing to former Titans players. “In selecting the familiar Foster, the Titans bypass several candidates who played for their franchise, including Keith Bulluck, who expressed an interest in the job on his podcast, Jason McCourty, who does some games for CBS, and Brad Hopkins, who appears on SiriusXM,” Titans reporter Paul Kuharsky explained .
Nashville-based Jared Stillman, who is also a Mad Dog Sports Radio host for SiriusXM, sounded off about the situation on Stillman and Company . In an X post sharing a video clip of his thoughts, Stillman called the Foster hire a “total slap in the face to the former players who played FOR the Titans. ” The @Titans hiring of Ramon Foster was a total slap in the face to the former players who played FOR the Titans.
From Chris Sanders, Jason McCourty, Blaine Bishop, Brad Hopkins, Neil O’Donnell, Taylor Lewan, Matt Hasselbeck, etc they could have picked someone who was a Titan pic. twitter. com/VH56F2cyTI — Jared Stillman (@JaredStillman) May 15, 2026 “If not Chris Sanders, it needs to be a former Titan,” Stillman expanded on Stillman and Company .
