What will it take for Mularkey to remain as the head coach?

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
