NASHVILLE – Another offseason, another new head coach for Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota to get to know – along with a different offense.
A little experience with such changes may help make transitions a bit easier, yet it’s not something Mariota wants to become a way of life in the NFL.

Mariota, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2015 draft, is preparing for his fourth season with the Titans with his third different coach. He started with Ken Whisenhunt, who lasted only seven games into Mariota’s rookie campaign. The Titans fired his replacement, Mike Mularkey, this past January despite back-to-back 9-7 seasons and the franchise’s first playoff win in 14 years.
