NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans made the move to fire Mike Mularkey after two and a half seasons as head coach with a message that they aren't settling for good enough going forward.
Titans general manager Jon Robinson said he and Titans president/CEO Steve Underwood delivered the news to Mularkey Monday morning. Mularkey had spent the past week talking to the team about an extension and spoke at his end-of-season news conference about moving forward toward the Senior Bowl next week.
"I just felt like we needed to go in a different direction, and maximize the skill sets of the players on the field," Robinson said.
