    The Titans fired Mike Mularkey a year ago today. midday 180 asked the question - How do you feel about the state of the franchise compared to a year ago today and about the progress made in that time?

    I was happily surprised when Mularkey was let go. I feel that his team overachieved due to Watson and Luck being out all year, and the team being almost completely healthy. Very few players improved under Mularkey, and the ceiling was very low with the style of play being implemented. I do not feel that a Mularkey coached Titans would've achieved what Vrabel did this year, and that the long term future is brighter with Vrabel.
    With the most injured team in the NFL, Luck and Watson healthy all season, and a brand new system being implemented, Vrabel's team won just as many games as Mularkey's did.

    I'm more excited about the future now than I was last season, even after a playoff win. The biggest negative change from a year ago to today is my faith in Mariota. A year ago I believed he could get over the hump and be an elite franchise QB. At this point, I no longer believe he will be a Titan after next season.

    What are your thoughts?

    Id feel a lot better if we dont promote one of the assistant coaches to OC TBH

    But before news broke that we needed an OC Ive been satisfied, not happy but Ive seen enough out of Vrabel to be optimistic.

    I'm glad Mularkey is gone. But I can't say I'm necessarily impressed with where we sit 1 year later. Same exact record, except no playoffs. Mariota regressed. Again. Hard. Just lost our brand new OC.

    I was never thrilled with the Vrabel hire. More so just happy to be rid of Mularkey. But we've seen some good and some bad with Vrabel. We all expected some bumps in the road for a first time HC so I'm good with that. But I'm also not ready to crown him as the answer just yet.
