NFL<\/a>\u00a0Network insider\u00a0Ian Rapoport<\/a>\u00a0was hilariously duped by a former NFL coach, leading to the most embarrassing moment of his career. And he does not think it was funny at all.<\/p>\n Mike Mularkey recently spilled the beans on a talk show in Jacksonville, revealing that back in 2018, he told Rapoport he was about to sign an extension, although he knew the Titans were about to fire him.<\/p>\n The journalist reported the false extension, and Mularkey was fired the following day. The former coach explained that he wanted to mess with his bosses and create some confusion within the organization after taking them to the playoffs only to be rewarded with termination; it was unfortunate that poor Ian had to get caught in the arc of fire.<\/p>\n \u201cThe best thing I did there at the end, which I can now talk about was, when I got called in that Monday morning after the New England game, I knew they were going to fire me,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Mularkey recalled<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cSo Sunday night I called Ian Rapoport and I said, \u2018Hey, I don\u2019t know if you know this but I\u2019m going to break it to you. But I\u2019m getting a new contract in the morning.\u2019 And he reported it. It was all over the country that I was getting a contract in the morning.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Do you remember @RapSheet<\/a> reporting Mike Mularkey was going to get a contract extension from the #TitanUp<\/a> but was fired instead? I think we might know why… @BrentASJax<\/a> @A_Train_92<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/2YlyRg7d2k<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 BrentDanStuartMarcelAlivia (@ActionSportsJax) November 20, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
