It’s been a tough day at St. Thomas Sports Park
Paul Kuharsky is reporting that the Tennessee Titans have fired four more people in the front office:

I guess this is the beginning of Chad Brinker really putting his fingerprints on the organization. It’s tough to see guys who have been with the organization for more than 25 yards let go.
As Kuharsky mentions, Anthony Robinson was hired by Carthon. It’s not a real surprise that he was fired, although the timing is a little bit interesting. You will remember that Ryan Cowden, who Mike Vrabel wanted to take over when Jon Robinson was fired, was kept on through Carthon’s first draft because of all the work that had already been done on the draft board.
There are a lot of feelings floating around about all the things that have been done today. My biggest hope in all of this is that they are finally going to get some people in place that can provide some stability for this organization. What would be a disaster is if this group takes a quarterback first overall, struggles next year, and then is fired next offseason. Then you would have another head coach coming in with a quarterback that he didn’t pick.
