    Here is an article that ranks head coaches for the 2017 season.

    24. Mike Mularkey

    Career Record: 27-46 (.370)

    With The Titans Since: 2015

    Last Year’s Ranking: 26


    Mike Mularkey exceeded expectations in 2016. Tennessee’s first winning season since 2011 featured a 5-2 record against playoff teams. Mularkey, he of the .370 career winning percentage, appeared to actually be onto something, zigging with the run while the rest of the league continued to zag with the pass. Cool, but they won’t be hanging that banner at Nissan Stadium. Mularkey has to do it again, something his résumé suggests isn’t possible. The last time 55-year-old Mularkey went 9-7 (2004 Bills), he followed up with a 5-11 campaign and subsequent resignation. And though Mularkey’s 2016 offensive approach was successful, it was hardly “exotic.” There will be no Act II in 2017, just more of the same vanilla, simplistic stuff. It might work if Marcus Mariota can take another step forward, avoiding serious lower-body injuries for the first time in three NFL seasons. It could, and likely will, fail spectacularly if he doesn’t.

    Malarkey is ranked 24th. It's important to note that he's actually 24th out of 26 returning head coaches. The 6 new head coaches are ranked 27 to 32 in this article.

    Bit more realistic take. I'm not sure he's 24th best coach currently coaching something in Tennessee.

    What a stupid statistic to mention the Bills. Didn't they force a QB change on him that year?
