Tennessee Titans interim head coach Mike Mularkey is spending his time preparing for the team's Week 17 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts, but acknowledged he may take a moment to ponder his future beyond Sunday as the game draws near.

Mularkey, who took over for Ken Whisenhunt seven games into the season, has said he'd like to keep the job full time. For now, he's trying to focus on Indianapolis.

Via the Tennessean:

Mularkey said he'd like to be afforded more time to make changes his in-season promotion didn't allow.

Whether that happens or not remains to be seen. The Titans are 2-6 under Mularkey thus far.
