coach Terry Robiskie as the offensive coordinator and promoted assistant defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau to defensive coordinator. Mularkey stated that the Titans would run an "exotic smashmouth" offense in 2016, meaning that they would go run-heavy, like a 1970s offense. After starting the season 1–3, the Titans beat the Cleveland Browns and Miami Dolphins to improve to 3–3. Thanks to a last-minute Week 2 16–15 road victory over the Detroit Lions, a Week 10 47–25 blowout win against the Green Bay Packers, and a game-winning 53-yard field goal to beat the Kansas City Chiefs on the road by a score of 19–17 in Week 14, the team came within just one game of earning an AFC South division title and a trip to the playoffs, ending with a 9–7 record, the first winning season for Tennessee since 2011. The Titans sent five players to the Pro Bowl, their highest number since 2008. In 2017, the Titans again finished with a 9–7 record, making the playoffs for the first time in nine years with a 15–10 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in the regular-season finale. The Titans sent six players to the Pro Bowl. In the wild-card round, the Titans rallied from a 21–3 halftime deficit against the Chiefs to narrowly win on the road by a score of 22–21; this was their first playoff victory since 2003. After the Titans' 35–14 road loss to the New England Patriots in the divisional round of the playoffs the following week, Mularkey and the Titans agreed to part ways.
