Mularkey, Titans part ways
The Tennessee Titans have agreed to part ways with head coach Mike Mularkey.
“I want to thank Mike Mularkey for his contributions to our franchise over his tenure with our organization,” Titans controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk said in a statement. “He took over our team during a low moment and together with [general manager] Jon [Robinson] built a solid foundation for our franchise. I appreciated that Mike devoted himself to this team and the community.
“In fact, we did discuss extending his future with our team over the past week, but in those discussions about the direction of the team, it became evident that we saw different paths to achieve greater success.”

Mularkey took over as interim head coach for the last nine games of the 2015 season and was hired as full-time coach in January 2016.
He led the Titans to back-to-back 9-7 records over the past two seasons, including a playoff berth this season, with Tennessee losing 35-14 to the New England Patriots on Saturday in the AFC divisional playoffs.
