The Titans president and CEO has declined interview requests as the team sits 0-5 and undergoes another business-side restructuring, but he'll appear at a Nov. 3 Chamber of Commerce luncheon

By PAUL KUHARSKY

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Titans president and CEO Burke Nihill, who is currently declining interview requests to discuss the status of the struggling organization, is soon scheduled to offer insights at a Leadership Rutherford luncheon titled "Leadership Beyond the Field."

The get-together is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 3, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at View at the Fountains in Murfreesboro.

You can register to attend here. It costs $15, and the Leadership Rutherford Alumni Committee will collect new, unwrapped toys to donate to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Rutherford County and Toys for Tots.

Nihill and Titans executives regularly make such appearances. He may even have others before this one.

But the timing of any now seems questionable, as Nihill heads to friendly hosts even as he declines opportunities to answer difficult questions about the organization he is empowered to speak for.

A Leadership Record Under Scrutiny

Nihill has been in his role since 2020, and during his time, the Titans have repeatedly changed their structure on both the football and business sides of operations.

Will his notes on leadership discuss accountability? He's taken none for the Titans' turn to a laughingstock in recent years.

Another Titans Restructuring

Three high-ranking executives were fired last week, and the team said the newest restructuring would include hiring an executive vice president and chief business officer.

The team was 3-14 in 2024, 3-14 in 2025, and is currently 0-5.
