JRob Fired. Wyatt Confirmed.

[IrishTitansFan]

This is definitely the most shocked I’ve been as a Titans fan

 

Yes, he has fucked up the last couple years but holy fuck, unprecedented for a good GM to be fired from a 7-5 team

This type of move usually means something nefarious has come out. I’d be shocked if there is another justification.

Give Cowden or Ossenfort the job and let’s roll

Cowden was named interim

If true, that’s a bold mid-season move right there

 

This is the part I can't quite figure out. What in the world happened behind the scenes where they felt like they needed to make this move mid-season? When you're on track for another division title?

I think it’s Vrabel being pissed at what he’s been given.

CTM when he pops open the laptop

Some kind of falling out with Vrabel? 

[AvgJoe]

And also, clearly Vrabel won a power struggle

Definitely would have thought a round of coaching changes would have come first. Namely, Downing, Carter, and Auckerman.

Vrabel's comment "who is he going to throw it to?" about the receivers/Malik is a little more cryptic now. 

 

I loved Jrob, but I love AAS more. She ain't fucking around. Ya love to see it.

I don't like this move without at least having tried coaching changes. No way in HELL Mike Munchak doesn't get more out of Radunz and numerous others than Carter has gotten.

Yup, ovaries of steel.

And yet, Chris Ballard is still employed by the Colts.

Maybe it was just having AJ Brown roast the Titans?

I think this is about the failure to go from "good to great" tbh. The team has stagnated at good. JRob's all in moves all failed and he has had critical failures in areas that are supposed to be foundational to the team (OL).

 

It's still a shock, especially midseason.

 

Vrabel won the power struggle here like JRob won it over Mularkey. The expectations are high here, you can't say they're not swinging for the fences.

 

You have to wonder (and maybe worry?) if Vrabel gets more control over the GM level decisions. That doesn't always work out...
