National reaction to the Titans firing GM Jon Robinson after loss to Eagles

Here’s what fans and the national media is reacting to the Tennessee Titans firing GM Jon Robinson after A.J. Brown’s dominant 2-TD performance on Sunday

Tennessee just shook up the NFL landscape, firing general manager Jon Robinson after a 35-10 loss to the Eagles that saw wide receiver A.J. Brown dismantle the defense.

The Titans are in first place in the AFC South, have a three-game lead over the Colts and Jaguars, and still made the move citing the want for a different direction.

Tennessee hired Robinson as general manager in January 2016 and in 2017 he was promoted to executive vice president/general manager.

The national media reacted to everything and Robinson’s departure was no different.

After watching A.J. Brown dominate in person, Titans owner Amy Adams Strunk and her ownership group have seen enough and fired GM Jon Robinson after a 35-10 loss to the Eagles

After being bullied by the Eagles, and watching A.J. Brown dominate in person, The Titans have parted ways with GM Jon Robinson.

Vice President of Player Personnel Ryan Cowden will be in charge for the remainder of the season.

Robinson was hired by the franchise in 2016.

“Since becoming controlling owner in 2015, my goal has been to raise the standard for what is expected in all facets of our organization. I believe we have made significant progress both on and off the field through investments in leadership, personnel and new ideas. This progress includes the core of our business, the football team itself, which is regularly evaluated both by results (wins and losses) and team construction/roster building. I am proud of what we have accomplished in my eight seasons of ownership, but I believe there is more to be done and higher aspirations to be met.

I want to thank Jon for his dedicated work to set this organization on an upward trajectory and I wish him and his family the best.”

Robinson worked as the director of college scouting with the New England Patriots before serving as the director of player personnel for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

He’ll now be remembered for choosing not to pay A.J. Brown, and instead trading the star wide receiver to Philadelphia for draft picks.
