 I'm joined by Titans controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk to discuss her decision to make a change in the head coaching position with the ball club. Amy, you mentioned in your statement that it was as difficult a decision as you've had to make in this role. What has Mike Vrabel meant to the Titans organization? Well, you're right, Mike. It was a very difficult decision and Mike was our head coach for six seasons and he brought a lot of passion every day to work to players, to staff, to the organization and I will always appreciate what Mike brought and wish the best for Mike and his family. Can you tell us the reason or reasons that you decided to make this change? The last two seasons have been very disappointing and the fans felt it, I felt it. We made changes last year and I came to believe we needed to make a change to the coaching staff. People want to know when did you come to this decision? It wasn't a last night or a month ago or whenever. It's just kind of been all season watching and it was difficult but I thought it was time to make that change. There's been discussion in a lot of different circles about the possibility of trading the head coach. What's consideration given to trading Mike Vrabel? Well, yes there was but there's a bit of misconception about a coach's contract say versus a player's contract. A coach's contract you can't trade them unless they're a willing partner to that trade. So yes, we thought about it but at the end of the day with league rules the way they are it would have maybe put us back three weeks and you know honestly to get the right head coach I was just not willing to go to the back of the line and take a chance of missing out on someone we really wanted. Alright so I'm going to put two questions together. Will the new head coach report to Rand Carrathon or to you and who will have control of the 53 man roster? Today is about the coaching staff. I'm not quite ready to answer that question. I still have some things to work through but I will answer both those questions at the end of the process. So when it's done you'll make this clear publicly who the head coach reports to and who has control of the roster? Absolutely yes. Some specifics about specifics in the search now. A lot of people are saying that Amy Adams-Drunk is only going to consider someone with an offensive background to be the head coach. Is that true? Actually no. I believe we need to improve across the board so it's important to find someone that brings in you know a lot of diverse ideas and fresh perspective and that's the most important thing in that new head coach. Alright let me take that a step further. So then what you're saying is you're going to be very interested in the staff that a potential head coach can show you when he talks to you. Yes that's going to be very important. The head coach is the leader in the face but you know that staff is super important so we're going to we're going to want him to bring in strong candidates and we want to hear who he's going to bring in. What would you say you have learned from your previous coaching searches, general manager searches, that you will apply to this particular search in 2024? Cast a wide net. Take your time. We have a vision and we want that coach to have that vision and we're going to work to get it right. At this moment that you make this change and set a new course for the Tennessee Titans, what does Amy Adams-Strunk want Titans fans to know at this time? I have high expectations and I'll never apologize for that and these fans deserve a great team and they deserve a championship brought to this city and that's what we're going to work towards and I'm prepared to make the hard decisions to hopefully get us there sooner. This team has a bright future. We have ran, we have a promising young quarterback. I mean the sky's the limit. We've got cap space, we've got a great draft position. Things are bright for the Titans. I'm really very very optimistic and I'd like to thank the fans for hanging with us this year. Our season was it was unacceptable but we're going to get there. We're going to get there sooner rather than later.
