Mike Keith, the radio voice of the Tennessee Titans who called 535 games for the franchise, is leaving his post after 27 years.

Keith moving into college sports to call football and basketball games for his alma mater, the University of Tennessee, the school announced Thursday.

Titans controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk said "few individuals have had as profound an impact on the Tennessee Titans" as Keith, who started calling games for the team when they moved to Tennessee in 1998.

Former Titans linebacker Keith Bulluck summed up Keith's legacy.

"I'm sure Mike Keith's replacement will be great," Bulluck wrote. "Unfortunately they will not have the Almanac level of Titans History knowledge that Mike possesses."
"The man has literally made the call for every single Titans player that has ever taken the field … like EVER!"
