The line play needs to be focused on in the draft and FA and Callahan is coaching for his job (or needs massive improvement). I’m willing to write off some of for Levis purposes but he has no excuse now. They won’t do this but I’d take the LT Campbell and move Latham to RT where he’d be a perennial all pro, The OL would become the team strength in one fell swoop. rns90, and DCTitan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If brinker is fired after next year he wouldn't be one and done either. He's already been with the team. Just like fitting everything around Ran last year.

rns90 Posted January 7, 2025 Report Share Posted January 7, 2025 1 minute ago, oldschool said: based on what is coming out in these statements and I hate to say it, it looks like the job was too big for him. I would imagine drafting levis was part of it but it looks like he was in over his head. The FA stuff and the RT plan (I’m assuming that is on him). In retrospect, if you are going to invest in the left side of the OL, you don’t half ass it by going cheap on the right side.

Nihill said Brinker will "break ties" with respect to the 53-man roster. "It is important to Amy to have absolute clarity in the football organization." Nihill said. "And so, while the general manager position will have a primary responsibility on all these things Chad is describing in terms of the day-to-day of overseeing the roster and the coaching staff, Chad is the leader of the football program, so Chad will be the final authority on all football matters, including the roster."

airmcnair22 Posted January 7, 2025 Report Share Posted January 7, 2025 (edited) I just read the full statement on the team website. I posted some snippets earlier, but sharing more that I found interesting Brinker spelled out what he'll be looking for in a new GM. "I think the general manager position is unique to their respective organizations," Brinker said. "This particular job, what we'll be looking for is someone who has spent their career as a scout, is a top-flight, top-level evaluator who has spent the majority of their career projecting college players to the National Football League, they've had a major hand in setting the draft board in preferably a consistent, winning organization, and you can see their fingerprints all over the roster. "It is someone who wakes up every single day and the only thing they think about is building a roster, evaluating players, watching tape, working with the coaching staff. And, not just someone who knows how to collect talent, but someone who really understands how to build a team and how all the pieces fit together that I can work with not only in the short term, winning today, but building for the future, the long term, and understanding how all those pieces fit together. If you make a decision here, how it impacts a decision down the road, and really understand the full puzzle. "At the end of the day, this person is going to be all ball, all day. They are going to focus on the roster and the coaching staff, and I'll continue in my role with handling all the other areas that surround the center of your program, scouting and coaches. So, I will support that person. But we are looking for a general manager who wakes up every day and is focused on building the team." "It is important to Amy to have absolute clarity in the football organization." Nihill said. "And so, while the general manager position will have a primary responsibility on all these things Chad is describing in terms of the day-to-day of overseeing the roster and the coaching staff, Chad is the leader of the football program, so Chad will be the final authority on all football matters, including the roster." "The person that we're going to be looking for is going to fit within the philosophy and how we're going to build this program going forward," Brinker said. "I look at this partnership as one heartbeat. We're going to be working together on all things. At the end of the day, we're all going to work together collectively, and work through: What is the best decision for the Tennessee Titans? So, if there is a situation, I want healthy debate so we can make the best decision we can make. All egos aside, it's about what is best for the team. "I'm going to allow our (new) general manager to do his job, and set free agency strategy and draft strategy, build a roster, and I'll be right there will him."

luvyablue256 Posted January 7, 2025 Report Share Posted January 7, 2025 21 minutes ago, rns90 said: She just hired the wrong gm. Are you arguing that Ran didn’t deserve to be fired? She deserves criticism for hiring him in the first place. I wasn't in favor of firing the GM this soon. I'm saying, if (IF) Ran had to be fired this soon, her decision to hire him or structure the FO this way was the wrong decision. She's about to hire another GM and give Brinker final decision making power. Just make HIM the GM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepingTitan Posted January 7, 2025 Report Share Posted January 7, 2025 I like Brinker’s statement. If this team is ever going to be worth a fuck, you gotta build through the draft. FA should be a dessert. Nash, charleytolar, titansfan, and 1 other 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny though that Carthon hired all these guys to do the actual work (Brinker, Callahan, Robinson, et al) and then went on autopilot. I guess that's how he saw the job (oops?).
