Smart move! I don't think we were capable of taking that next step under Mularkey. An he benefited this season with a favorable schedule and opponents injuries.

I appreciate getting back to the playoffs, but it became clear moves needed to be made.

Michael Lombardi thinks the McDaneils ship has sailed and that he'll land at Indy. I mean I'm glad we made the change but winning week 17 against Jacksonville and winning against KC in the playoffs has put us way behind other teams with openings.

What coaches would cause us to weep with sadness?

Fisher

Jim Caldwell - I think he’s like Mularky, can keep franchise respectable but not much further

Who else?

Lane - maybe one day when he grows up and matures. He's still the senior frat guy heading up all the keggers not a NFL leader coaching adults. He's learning but not ready yet.

Norv Turner - yeah, he just took the OC job at Car but if he got the HC job here I'd throw in the towel. Every team he's touched as a HC has gone down the crapper. I'd take him as an OC, though.

Wade Phillips - see Norv Turner.

John Fox

Mike Shula

Tee Martin

Not gonna lie, I’d totally take Lane Kiffin. Which I know is BS and hypocritical since he was worse than Josh McDaniels. I just love his talk, reminds me of spurrier.

They need to knock this hire out of the park. I didn't like MM/Robiskie whatsoever, but at the same time, 19-15 with a playoff win is so much better than 5-27.

Battered Titans fan syndrome, I guess. There's a good point to be made about the value of being proactive given the fact that the AFC South is rapidly improving and going 5-1 in the division is extremely unlikely next year with Watson returning, the Jags likely continuing to get better, and the Colts pretty much always having the Titans' number, especially if Luck is able to return.

Mariota took a major step back. Titans were never a contender for anything under MM. 8-4 and finish 1-3 to season. This wasn’t a good season for titans based on trend lines. After last year, we shoulda been an 11 win team minimum. MM is a loser.

Schefty thinks the Titans are the team that lands McDaniels, or at least the favorite

Also Ian Rapoport says Cleveland may be the landing spot for Mularkey as OC. Said there would be interest from the Browns if he ever parted ways with us.

Sounds like Mularkey wouldn't make changes so he got booted. I'm happy for that reason. I'd prefer to keep Mularkey with a change at OC but he thought we were good offense.. he's out.


All that to say it sounds also like a Butch scenario. Where no matter if there was a change at OC the offense would remain the same bc it was his. Also another reason to move on.

he's high risk-high reward for sure and his brash talk does cause one to listen to him. I'm just not sure it works well with the NFL. As you said its like Spurrier and that works well in college since you're selling a program for kids to come to as opposed to coaching players you are given

Can't do much right now. By rule we can't interview anyone still alive until the 28th. We're way behind everyone else at this stage. Same thing happened when we fired Fisher four weeks after the season ended.

I don't know if Vrabel will land this off season but lot of positive talk around him. Our interview with him will be his third this off season.

First thing he said post game was he was pleased with Mariota’s development this year. Even Stevie Wonder could see Marcus took 23 steps backward this year.

J-Rob basically said that Mularkey's statements during his end of year presser made him make the decision to part ways.
