The Tennessee Titans have fired Ken Whisenhunt as head coach after a season and a half.

"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."

 

The Titans were 3-20 overall under Whisenhunt, who signed a five-year deal in 2014.
