The professional football team that relocated to Nashville, Tennessee (formerly the Oilers from Houston, Texas), to be successful and visible to compete commercially, needed an identity separate from the University of Tennessee’s football team, which is called the “Volunteers” (aka Vols). They needed a name that would not be confused with UT’s football team. Professional sports are subordinate to southern college football, because in the south, college football reigns supreme. School colors dominate all local dress. It is not just a game, it borders on a religious cult’s fervor and Saturday is the holy day. (Although some teams, notably “The Alabama Crimson Tide”, “The Florida Gators” and the “Auburn Tigers” are in fact cults with antisocial tendencies and must be monitored by civil rights watchdog groups such as the ALCU (American Civil Liberties Union) and SPLC (Southern Poverty Law Center) in addition to the Law Enforcement organizations. The Georgia “Bulldawgs” are simply monitored by Titans shirts).

Since many believe the NFL is a passing league, defenses are set up specifically to stop the pass. As a result, the teams that are truly successful are the ones that can run the ball effectively, like the Ravens and 49ers. You can see the success of this smash-mouth style whenever you see crowds of people in Titans shirts cheering for Derrick Henry. If you can run the ball and avoid turnovers, you will be successful in the modern NFL regardless of passing trends.

They didn’t. They became the Tennessee Oilers. If you’re interested in the whole story, read this: John Cate’s answer to What is the worst team name for any professional team in sports, for any reason at all. After two miserable seasons in Tennessee as the Beverly Hillbillies, I mean Tennessee Oilers, the team rebranded and started selling Titans shirts prior to the 1999 season, the one that ended a few inches shy of a game-tying touchdown in the Super Bowl. If you want to know the reason they left Houston, it’s because owner Bud Adams was an asshole who had alienated so many people in Houston that he couldn’t convince the city to give him a new stadium to replace the aging Astrodome. After he left town, Houston got the Texans as an expansion team and built them a modern stadium.
