NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Mike Mularkey is returning as Tennessee Titans head coach and is talking with the team about a contract extension that would keep him in town beyond the 2018 season, a league source confirmed to ESPN.
Initial talks began last week following the Titans' 22-21 wild-card playoff victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Titans made progress in 2017, finishing 9-7 and making the playoffs for the first time since the 2008 season. They overcame an 18-point deficit at Kansas City to win their first playoff game since the 2003 season.
