On Saturday night, the Titans announced the hiring of Texans defensive coordinator Mike Vrabel as the team's next coach, replacing Mike Mularkey who was fired on Monday.
With the hiring, that makes him the fifth coach since the team came to Tennessee and will be the third coach since the Titans drafted quarterback Marcus Mariota.

Here's a look back at the others:
Jeff Fisher
1997-2010
The original. The longest tenured. The man who coached the team known for the Music City Miracle and led the transition from Houston, to Memphis, to Nashville.
During his tenure, Fisher guided the Titans to six playoff berths and a trip to Super Bowl XXXIV. Though it wasn't always good times as there were four losing seasons during Fisher's tenure, including two last-place finishes in the AFC South.
He ended his Titans' career with a 126-98 record.
Mike Munchak
2011-2013
Munchak's three seasons as the Titans head coach is the only time he's spent anywhere as an NFL head coach. He compiled a 22-26 record in Nashville and only had one winning season (9-7 in 2011).
Though his tenure was short, it could have been longer: The Titans let him go after he refused to make mass changes on his coaching staff. The Titans had offered Munchak an opportunity to return, even with a contract extension, if he would agree to reshape his coaching staff. He didn't, so his stint came to an end.
Ken Whisenhunt
2014-2015
Whisenhunt holds the title of the shortest coaching tenure. In his first season, he went 2-14. After a 1-6 start to the 2015 season, he was relieved of his duties following Week 8.
Mike Mularkey
2015-2017
Mularkey became the interim for Whisenhunt, which led to the full-time gig, which ended on Monday. He was entering the final year of a three-year contract and had a 21-22 overall record.
Mularkey led the Titans to the playoffs for the first time since the 2008 season, and their first playoff win since Jan. 3, 2004.
Though he led the Titans back into the playoffs, the campaign fell short of expectations, including a three-game losing streak at the end of the season that squandered the chance at the AFC South title.
Mike Vrabel
Hired Jan. 20, 2018
The Titans bought the first car they test drove.
Vrabel, 42, has a pre-existing relationship with Titans General Manager Jon Robinson and is the only candidate who played in the NFL. The former All-Pro linebacker spent 14 seasons with the Steelers, Patriots and Chiefs and won three Super Bowls during his tenure with New England from 2001-08, which overlapped with Robinson’s time in the team’s personnel department.

He began his coaching career at Ohio State, where he served one season as the linebackers coach and two seasons in charge of the defensive line before joining Bill O’Brien’s staff in Houston.
Vrabel has been with the Texans for four seasons, the first three as linebackers coach before being promoted to defensive coordinator. The Texans, who lost cornerback A.J. Bouye in free agency and were hampered by injuries to several key players, including superstar defensive end J.J. Watt and outside linebacker Whitney Mercilus, finished dead last in scoring defense this season, allowing an average of 27.2 points per game.
