considering how the Eagles just dismantled them, part of me feels that he was strong on getting rid of Brown and that has blown up in his face

Possible, but they've been a pretty good team during his tenure.

Cowden was formerly part of the Panthers organization and he's had GM interviews before. Guess now they'll get to see what he can do.

Looked up Robinson's resumé to see if he had any connections here. He does, and it's a longstanding one.

Robinson and personnel guy Pat Stewart spent about a decade working together in New England. They were there during some of the Patriots best years.

Ready to move on from your Fitt crush? 😄

I'm not for firing Fitterer, but I wouldn't mind adding Robinson to our front office.

From The Athletic (link)

Robinson is the only general manger in franchise history to oversee six consecutive winning seasons.

Tennessee earned playoff berths in four of the past five seasons. The Titans advanced to the 2019 AFC Championship game, compiled consecutive AFC South titles the past two seasons and earned the AFC’s No. 1 seed last season.

Since Robinson took over in 2016, the Titans have the ninth-best overall winning percentage (.606) and fifth-best winning percentage in divisional games (.667).

The team's statement basically indicates they think he's done a good job, just not good enough (i.e. no Super Bowls).

Probably some internal politics and stuff there too. There just about always is.

I'm not sure Fitt would like having a former GM with a much better record sitting in the office looking over his shoulder. Egos would probably clash.

Don't really imagine that being a problem. He's not the type.

Hell, the guy worked under Matt Rhule 😕

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
