Denali Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Many are already writing off Mularkey before he even puts on the head coach's whistle. But however unlikely it may seem at this point, what will it take realistically for Mularkey to keep the head coaching job? What kind of results are needed?

wtenn Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 I think for Mularkey to be considered, not only will he have to win games, but I think the team will need to play with an edge. He will need to basically repeat what Dan Campbell has done in Miami. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschool Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Protect Mariota while he develops and win a few games. He probably needs to go 5-4 minimum. freakingeek, TitanJoe, and Omar 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TF_Titan Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 I think the odds are against him, but one thing that could factor in is if they really want to keep the defensive coaching staff in tact. If keeping Mularkey makes that easier that might weigh that into the decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tex in a Can Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 It hinges on the offense and in particular the O-line. If we can get some type of running game going and enough time to execute a short passing game and the receivers and TEs catch the passes, maybe we can put up enough points to win some games. It's a lot of ifs but the biggest if is the O-line. If you can do something on offense, the defense can keep us in some games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stranger Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) He needs to win at least 5 out of the next 9 games to be seriously considered, IMO. Jags sweep, Texans, Colts, and at least one game we shouldn't win, like the Saints, Jets or Raiders. Pretty certain we have no chance against the Pats or Panthers. Finish the season 6-10, and assuming a better candidate isn't interested, the job is his. Edited November 3, 2015 by Stranger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But however unlikely it may seem at this point, what will it take realistically for Mularkey to keep the head coaching job? What kind of results are needed? Denali, an interesting quote on PFT from a supposed ex co-worker of Mularkey: I realize that most folks on here could care less about objectivity but what the heck, here goes: I worked with Mike as an assistant coach at one point and I can tell you he is a brilliant offensive mind. Contrary to what somebody posted earlier, he has not been the offensive coordinator for the Titans this season. The Bucs and the Bears both tried to hire him last off season as their OC and the Titans blocked him. He is one of the most respected coaches in the NFL by his peers, regardless of what fans may think. Blaine Gabbert was shoved down his throat in Jacksonville. The staff told Mr. Kahn a month after they got there that Gabbert is not an NFL QB. (Good Luck 49ers) He is the guy that developed Matt Ryan and his work with Kordell Stewart was nothing short of miraculous considering his skill sets to be an NFL QB. Mike will retool that offense to match the personnel they have. Hated coaching against him, loved working with him and wish him all the best as do most coaches in the league. A class act.

Cyrus Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 I think he needs to win out and maybe even win a playoff game to get the job. Winning 5-6 games isn't enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
