The best time to fire Jon Robinson would have been before he traded AJ Brown, and the second best time would have been immediately after trading AJ Brown.

Then had to fire Murlakey when it leaked she talked to McDaniels? Or am I thinking of someone else? I don’t recall there being any smoke about them targeting mcdaniels but they did fire mularkey even though he won a playoff game. They got waxed by New England after that win and then he got canned

If Vrabel was putting up this much smoke about potentially leaving, then gently caress it, rip the bandage off. He has plenty of good qualities, but the team has been kinda listless the past couple years, and while a ton of it was due to the last GM, Vrabel hasn't put the offense in the best position to succeed either. Ending a season with eight straight losses after starting strong is pretty damning imo. Will we hire better? Probably not. Hiring a coach is always a crapshoot. I'd rather try though than deal with a coach still waffling about whether he wants to be here or not when he's had underwhelming success the past two seasons. I'll probably still wish him the best, depending where he goes.

I thought Vrabel was done early in the season when the Titans were clearly not going to win the division like some people thought. Just got those vibes.

Too complicated is 100% an owner insisting to be deeply involved in the process then getting mad about anything harder than yes or no.

One name not floating around is Jim Schwartz and I’m good with that because I want him back on the Browns rather than be poached for a HC.

Former Lions HC means teams are legally barred from hiring him as HC. Seriously, go look at the list of Lions head coaches over the last 25+ years and their careers post-Detroit.

At least come up with a remotely plausible excuse. The amount of people in this very thread saying "it would be too hard to come up with a contract" was hilarious. It's the literal GM's job to do exactly that. Plus, you could probably just copy/paste an existing contract and make some tweaks. Absolute lol at the people who didn't want Lamar because they'd have to open up MS Word.

I’m assuming it meant it would be too complicate to arrange a trade without it taking too long and causing them to miss on other candidates. Still that’s your loving job lol so figure it out and definitely don’t say that poo poo out loud

I would imagine the process was... - We wanna trade Vrabel to the Patriots. - poo poo, Patriots have not fired Belichick yet, don't know when they will. Maybe they won't. - We need to start interviewing candidates, but we can't. - gently caress it, just fire Vrabel.

This is some pathetic posting, man. Yeah, Stroud turned out to be better than people thought, which means the hopes for a team that just fired their GM and was clearly bracing for a rebuild disappointed for their lofty projections this year. All this tells me is Titans fans absolutely need to keep memeing because it's clearly making everyone else melt down in envy of fans actually liking their team even when they're bad.
