Titans owner talks Mike Vrabel firing, what’s next in new interview

Tennessee Titans owner Amy Adams Strunk released a statement after the firing of head coach Mike Vrabel, but she has now also done an interview going into more detail about the decision and what’s next for the franchise.

Here are the important points she discussed, but you can check out the full interview below:

• AAS said this wasn’t a last-second decision and it was something she was thinking about all season. She cited the team’s lack of success the last two years and felt it was time to make a change.
• AAS said the Titans considered it but opted not to trade Vrabel primarily because it could set the team back in its search for a new head coach if it took too long. She also noted the head coach would have to be a willing partner in a deal.
• AAS declined to comment on if the new head coach would report to her or the general manager. She also declined to comment on who would have control of the roster. She did say she, however, that she would reveal the structure once a head coach is hired.
• AAS said the team will not only consider offensive-minded coaches. She’s more interested in the staff a candidate shows her and if that group will bring a fresh perspective with it. She plans on casting a wide net in the search.
