First reported by Field Yates of ESPN and subsequently confirmed by the team, the Tennessee Titans have parted ways with head coach Mike Mularkey. Mularkey became the interim coach following the firing of Ken Whisenhunt mid-season 2015 and was named the permanent head coach after a rubber-stamp process that offseason because of the work he did in going 2-7. He posted a record of 9-7 both seasons and went 1-1 in the playoffs this year.
Fifteen days ago, the Titans clinched their first playoff spot in nine seasons by beating the Jacksonville Jaguars. Nine days ago, the Titans won their first playoff game in 14 seasons by beating the Kansas City Chiefs.
