The Titans lost 20-6 to the Houston Texans on Sunday, their
sixth straight defeat.
"After thoughtful consideration, the decision has been made to
relieve Ken Whisenhunt of his head coaching duties," Titans
controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk said in a statement.
"We have expected more progress on the field, and I felt it was
time to move in a different direction. I would like to thank Ken
for his efforts with our team, as he worked very hard to try to
move us forward."Mike Mularkey, an assistant coach under
Whisenhunt, will take over as interim coach.
"I am sorry we weren’t able to get it done in our time here,"
Whisenhunt said in a statement. "Our players and staff were
great to work with and I want to thank them for their dedication
and hard work."
The Titans, 2-14 last season, were 3-20 overall under
Whisenhunt, 53, a former NFL tight end who was also head coach
of the Arizona Cardinals for six seasons.
