That puts them in a better spot than 21 other NFL teams, but not good enough to save the job of GM Jon Robinson.
The Titans announced Tuesday they have fired Robinson, who has guided the team to a 66-43 record since 2016 and presided over three playoff victories, while making it as far as the AFC championship game in 2019, a 35-24 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
The 46-year-old Robinson is being replaced by vice president of player personnel Ryan Cowden, while the search for a new GM will begin after the season is over.
“Since becoming controlling owner in 2015, my goal has been to raise the standard for what is expected in all facets of our organization,” Amy Adams Strunk said in a statement. “I believe we have made significant progress both on and off the field through investments in leadership, personnel and new ideas. This progress includes the core of our business, the football team itself, which is regularly evaluated both by results (wins/losses) and team construction/roster building.
“I am proud of what we have accomplished in my eight seasons of ownership, but I believe there is more to be done and higher expectations to be met.”
The Titans are one of 12 teams to never have won the Super Bowl, although they did play in the big game on Jan. 30, 2000, losing 23-16 to the St. Louis Rams.
Robinson’s shortcoming was a failure to improve an offence around Derrick Henry, who is one of eight running backs in the history of the league to rush for more than 2,000 yards in a season.
The Titans offence 29th in yards and 26th in points after finishing 17th and 15th in those categories last season.
