Titans owner saw no need to wait to fire general manager
Amy Adams Strunk's evaluation of Jon Robinson's performance as the Titans' general manager never stopped, and the Tennessee controlling owner said Friday she saw no reason to wait once she decided her franchise needed a change. “At the end of the day, I’ve got to make hard decisions," Strunk told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview. Strunk fired Robinson on Tuesday despite the general manager never posting worse than a 9-7 record and going 69-47 with six straight winning seasons.
