Second-year head coach Ken Whisenhunt was fired on November 3 following a 1–6 start, and was replaced by tight ends coach Mike Mularkey on an interim basis. Despite slightly improving from their 2–14 season from the previous year, finishing with a 3–13 record (tied with the Cleveland Browns), they finished with a lower Strength of Schedule, thus earning the right to the top pick in the 2016 NFL draft, later trading it to the Los Angeles Rams. Until 2022, this was the last time the Titans had a losing season. 3 Uniform change The Titans switched their primary colored jerseys from light "Titans Blue" to navy blue, the latter of which was the team's primary home jersey color from 1999–2007.Bell, Demetrious Tennessee Titans will be going back to navy as primary home uniform http://news.sportslogos.net/2014/11/19/tennessee-titans-will-be-going-back-to-navy-as-primary-home-uniform/ sportslogos.net November 19, 2014 September 18, 2015 2015 draft class 2015 NFL draft 2015 Tennessee Titans Draft Round Selection Player Position College 1 2 Marcus Mariota QB Oregon 2 40 Dorial Green-Beckham WR Missouri 3 66 Jeremiah Poutasi OT Utah 4 100 Angelo Blackson DT Auburn 108 Jalston Fowler FB Alabama 5 138 David Cobb RB Minnesota 6 177 Deiontrez Mount LB Louisville 208 Andy Gallik C Boston College 7 245 Tre McBride WR William & Mary Notes The Titans acquired an additional sixth-round selection (No. 208 overall) in a trade that sent the team's seventh-round selection (No. 219 overall) and linebacker Akeem Ayers to the New England Patriots.
