Michael Anthony Munchak (born March 5, 1960) is a former professional American football player, Hall of Fame player and current offensive line coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers. A graduate of Penn State, Munchak played left guard for the Houston Oilers from 1982 until 1993 and was a nine-time selection to the Pro Bowl.
After his retirement, Munchak continued his association with the Houston franchise by becoming an assistant coach. He joined the staff in 1994 and stayed with the franchise after it moved to Tennessee and became known as the Tennessee Titans, eventually becoming its offensive line coach.
Munchak became Titans head coach in 2011 and was fired after the 2013 season, ending his thirty-one year association with the franchise. He currently serves as offensive line coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Munchak was an offensive lineman for Penn State from 1978–1981. During this time he was a starter for the 1979 and 1981 seasons; however, he missed the 1980 season due to knee injury. During his senior year, he was named a second team All-American and was subsequently drafted 8th overall by the Houston Oilers.
During the 1982 NFL Draft, Munchak was chosen as the Houston Oilers' first round draft pick (8th overall), making him the first offensive lineman drafted that year. In his rookie season, he quickly earned a starting position at the left guard position. He remained in that position for 12 seasons. During that time he garnered nine Pro Bowl nominations, four All-Pro, nine Second Team All-Pro, seven All-AFC, and four second team All-Pro selections. In addition, he was selected for the 1980s All-Decade Team. Munchak's 12-year tenure tied for second most seasons played with the Houston Oilers.
