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.

Robinson missed on several drafts picks and traded his most explosive pick in years.
The Titans won a lot with Jon Robinson. They also missed on a number of draft picks at crucial positions and swung and missed on free-agent acquisitions. Still, Robinson's record and results were absolutely good enough for him to remain in this position thru the season at least

The #Titans have had some notable misses (trading for Julio, Isaiah Wilson in Round 1, AJ Brown fiasco, etc.). There are things to point at.
But firing GM Jon Robinson now would seem to indicate there was more going on.
They just signed Robinson to an extension in February…

Vrabel’s reaction to Brown getting traded started the spiral.

Titans' draft picks haven't been great and free agency has been a dud.
A new GM will need to find long-term QB, fix the OL and get some weapons on offense.
No small order. https://t.co/3a6nhxDurB

The Titans have been winners and a tough out in the AFC South, but imagine if Robinson makes better choices.
Official from team. Titans have won 66 regular season games since Robinson was named GM in 2016. https://t.co/lFOsM4m0zv
