I am not on the Fitt bandwagon at all. The dude looks nervous in all of his interviews like somebody is about to jump out and beat his ass. 
 

He gave up capital for Darnold, Mayfield, and Henderson. Then gives up capital for Gilmore to play half a season. Extends Ian Thomas for god knows why. 
 

I mean you can blame Matt for some of that but at the end of the day he is still the GM and it’s not that hard to prove Matt wrong in a meeting room if you disagree with him.

I highly doubt Matt had him in a chicken wing against the computer making him do what he wanted.

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.

Seems like they may come after Morgan

The Titans roster construction strategy would have been good in 2004.

lmfao the same strat that homers here want to choose. Get FA QBs and don't ever draft one bc its too risky. Titans are their role model. Meanwhile they get boat raced in the AFC by teams with Franchise QBs like Bengals and Chiefs.

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.

Vrabel has won that team all those awards, Robinson has been along for the ride.

They drafted Malik Willis, the guy with potentially the most upside in the draft.  They sat him behind a competent veteran who is painfully familiar with maturing as a player in the NFL.  The Titans have never had a losing season under Robinson.

He fired the coach who gave the Titans their first back to back winning seasons since 2007 and hired the guy who took them to the AFC Championship where Mahomes finally ended their season.  Look at the QB's who have knocked them out since 2016:  Brady, Mahomes, Jackson, Burrow.  That's like murderers row of QB's.

I really doubt the AJ Brown trade is the reason the guy got the axe.  It's probably internal politics combined with building your roster around a 1980s power back and a washed up average QB.

No it's probably mostly the A.J. Brown thing, that was a real fug up he's a dynamic player and they aren't paying anyone or will be paying anyone that's worth A.J. Brown, but also their drafts have mostly sucked and their contracts have been terrible even outside of Tannehill. 

Vrabel's probably safe, it's the roster that's gonna get hit and makes sense to bring in a new GM too.

Yeah the Titans are a well coached bunch.  And have a defense getting better but are about to miss Henry's window.  Mike V. is loved around the league and by the org/team.  Can def see them crafting a reworked offense beyond Tannehill for him.  To follow up to where they are this season after being the 1 seed last year, with that roster, is impressive.  But I do feel they made some head scratchers this offseason.
