IMG 0229Mike Mularkey had no bigger advocate than Amy Adams Strunk, and still, she signed off on firing him with a year left on his contract.

Mularkey and his staff failed to maximize what they had to work with, and he was simply too stubborn.

Yes, he took his team to consecutive 9-7 records with a playoff trip and a wild-card win in 2017.

“She has not sold it yet, but she would like to sell it,” Strunk said.

Titans' playbook construction near completion

Piecing together philosophies built from years in different places at different levels with different people and combining all that with a roster viewed only on film is a tough job.

Amy Adams Strunk extended Jon Robinson's contract to line him up with Mike Vrabel

mdi construction barStrunkOwnersORLANDO, Fla. -- Jon Robinson and Mike Vrabel are working toward the same goal, and they are now doing it on the same timetable. 

Amy Adams Strunk told me at the NFL owners meetings that she signed Robinson to an extension three weeks or a month ago.

"I've put them on schedule," she said with a laugh.

Vrabel got a five-year deal through 2022. Robinson's initial deal ran through the 2019 draft but now matches Vrabel's.

But as he fielded questions about running back workload, he did indicate the team’s early thinking on the default.
