Former Titan Kevin Dyson still has something to prove in education

Kevin Dyson was part of the biggest play during the biggest season the Tennessee Titans have had to date. He saw the highs of the Music City Miracle and the bitter lows of being one yard short at Super Bowl XXXIV. And before long, he found his injury-prone career cut short in 2005. He wanted to coach but didn’t have the credentials. So he went back to school and found education was his passion. He earned a doctorate, became a public school principal in Williamson County, and now he’s starting his own athletics-focused charter school in Nashville — Music City Academy, scheduled to open in fall of 2027 if approved by the Metro Schools board of education. His mother asks him why he doesn’t just take it easy. Dyson points to the title of his book, "Qualified So I Am Justified," and says he’s still got something to prove.
