The list documents the season-by-season records of the Titans' franchise from 1960 to the present, including postseason records and league awards for individual players or head coaches. The Oilers were a part of the inaugural season of the American Football League in 1960. In 1997, the franchise moved to Tennessee, playing in Memphis temporarily until settling in Nashville.
