"Over the years, I've understood and embraced my role as the leader of the football strategy, but as I've spent less time in personnel, I have a renewed conviction that it is time to return to what I love and move towards my next chapter.

I'm grateful for (controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk's) understanding in my decision, and for allowing me to pursue other opportunities. "I'm proud of the work we've done over the past three years ― under challenging circumstances ― to begin the process of getting the Titans football organization back on track, not the least of which was last year's general manager search. I believe the Titans have exceptional people and long-term stability at the general manager position and throughout the scouting department.

While there is work to be done, I believe we've laid the foundation to restore the Titans to its rightful place as a sustainable, winning program. "My family and I will always be grateful for Amy's belief and trust in me, and for our time in Tennessee. " The Titans are coming off back-to-back 3-14 seasons.
