Looking back and ranking the last five Tennessee Titans head coaches from the last decade.

As we come to the end of this decade, we also close the book on 10 years and five different coaching staffs worth of Tennessee Titans football.

The 2010’s saw the Titans cycle through head coaches to the point where inconsistency nearly felt like an expectation. Starting the decade watching a Titans coaching legend in Jeff Fisher lose his edge and step down unceremoniously led to years of transition through Mike Munchak, Ken Whisenhunt, and Mike Mularkey.

For now, it appears as though the Titans’ coaching carousel has slowed down with the franchise’s most recent hire. Though only in his second year, head coach Mike Vrabel has become just the second coach in the decade to lead Tennessee to the postseason and has the Titans on pace to finish with their best offense in the last 10 years.

But where does Vrabel’s success in 2019 rank him amongst Titans coaches from the past decade? How does his success compare to what Mike Mularkey accomplished in his two-and-a-half season tenure as Tennessee’s leading man? And how do either of their legacies compare to the shadow cast by Jeff Fisher’s early-career success?

The Titans have been through a wild decade of football that’s seen them go from a bottom of the barrel franchise to four straight winning seasons, and everywhere in between. With all that in mind, let’s look back at the five men in charge of the last ten years, ranking each of their tenures with the Titans.
