A former Buffalo Bills head coach is calling it a career.
On Thursday, Mike Mularkey announced he was retiring from the NFL’s sidelines. He was most recently the Falcons tight end coach.
“I’ve been blessed to do this for a long time and have a lot of great memories from the game I love. I’ve also missed a lot of time with my family who I love and who has supported me so much throughout my career,” Mularkey said via ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The 58-year-old was the Bills’ bench boss in 2004 and 2005, he was 14-18 overall with the Bills, including a 9-7 season in the first of the two. In January 2006, he resigned his position with the team, citing disagreement in the direction of the club. Dick Jauron replaced him.
Mularkey also had stints as the Jaguars (2012) and Titans (2015-17) head coach. He won a Wild Card game with the Titans in 2017. Overall, he was 36-53 as a head coach.
The former tight end for the Vikings and Steelers as a player entered the NFL coaching the position with the Buccaneers (1994-95) and then Steelers (1996-2000). He then took over the Steelers’ offensive coordinator duties (2001-03) before joining the Bills.
Post-Bills, Mularkey was the Dolphins OC (2006), Dolphins tight ends coach (2007), Falcons OC (2008-11), and Titans tight ends coach (2014-15) as well.
