Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks

All right, so they collaborate with Mike Vrabel at the time and say, okay, what do we want to do next? Vrabel goes, I want to go with my player personnel guy, Ryan Cowden, who's now currently with the New York Giants. Guy kind of understands how I work. We view things the same way. And he's like a real football guy. He's a true scout. And the Titans said, no, we want Ren Carthon. He's the guy.

And from what I understand, Vrabel just made the suggestion of, hey, like, I like Ren too. He's a great dude. Let's just make him an assistant GM.

and let them grow on the job with Ryan. And then when the time is right, you know, he can get a GM job and they didn't want to do it. And then in the end, they obviously fired Mike Rubel, gave the power to Rand Carthon here. And now a year later, Rand Carthon is out. So to me, this says they don't know what they want.

This also says to me that they make emotional decisions, which are the worst times, which is, you know, I think there's a difference too in making emotional decisions. Robert Kraft was emotional talking about the Gerard Mayo, but I don't think that's emotion. I don't think that's just a reaction to a bad year. This is not up to the standard I need this team to be.

This in Tennessee is, I have to blame someone. I'm sick of it. Someone needs to fix this. Ran, it's not you. Goodbye.

Correct. And look, it's human nature to be emotional about it and be frustrated and angry. But I think they were emotional when they fired their head coach last year. And it sounds like they're emotional here. I don't know if that's a great quality to have when you're running a business.

No, I think the chances of him staying in Dallas are fair. I think that could happen. Look, I know that they did a little bit of work on some head coaches behind the scenes over the last few weeks, so it wouldn't shock me if they also move on.
