The Tennessee Titans have their man.
The team announced Saturday that it has promoted interim leader Mike Mularkey to the role of head coach.
It's a move that comes as little surprise after Rapoport noted that this was Mularkey's gig "to lose" after the coach was "given every indication that he is getting the job."
Mularkey took over the interim role in November after the Titans fired coach Ken Whisenhunt following a 1-6 start. Tennessee went 2-7 the rest of the way to finish at 3-13 on the year -- missing the playoffs for the seventh consecutive season.
