(The Sports Xchange) - The Tennessee Titans removed the interim tag from Mike Mularkey on Saturday and named him the team's 18th head coach in franchise history.
Mularkey guided Tennessee to a 2-7 record over the final nine games after Tennessee fired Ken Whisenhunt.
Mularkey, 54, has a 18-39 record in three-plus seasons as an NFL head coach. He went 14-18 with the Buffalo Bulls in 2004-05 and 2-14 with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2012.
The Titans were 3-13 overall in 2015 and have missed the playoffs in seven consecutive seasons.
Mularkey is looking for improved results now that he's been given the permanent gig.
