NASHville, Tenn. (AP) \u2014 Amy Adams Strunk’s evaluation of Jon Robinson’s performance as the Titans’ general manager never stopped, and the Tennessee controlling owner said Friday she saw no reason to wait once she decided her franchise needed a change.<\/p>\n

No matter how difficult that was.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of the day, I’ve got to make hard decisions,\u201d Strunk told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce I made the decision, I was like, ‘I can’t sit on it. I’ve got to go ahead and do it to be fair to Jon.’ I don’t know how many weeks we have left in the season. There could be a lot more hopefully in our season, and it just didn’t seem like the right thing to do to drag this along.\u201d<\/p>\n

Strunk fired Robinson on Tuesday despite the general manager never posting worse than a 9-7 record and going 69-47 with six straight winning seasons. That’s second in the NFL only to Kansas City’s streak of 10 consecutive winning records.<\/p>\n

The Titans (7-5) are on target for a third straight AFC South title.<\/p>\n

The owner who took over the franchise in March 2015 and consolidated her hold on the franchise in 2020 said she studied past seasons, rosters, draft choices and free agency moves to make her decision.<\/p>\n

And no, seeing former Tennessee wide receiver AJ Brown have a good game last week in a 35-10 win against her Titans played no part in firing Robinson.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’d already made my decision,\u201d Strunk said. “AJ had a great game. More power to him, but that didn’t actually have anything to do with that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Strunk said she couldn’t ignore the holes on a roster that has used 76 different players this season after setting an NFL-record with 91 different players last season.<\/p>\n

Tennessee has lost three straight playoff games, the last two at home. Strunk said she wants the Super Bowl that eluded her late father, Bud Adams, who founded the franchise in Houston.<\/p>\n

\u201cI told the fans from the very beginning that I want to win it all and I want to be one of those elite teams that people are always scared of, and it’s my responsibility,\u201d Strunk said. “And eventually it’s up to me to make those kind of decisions that get us there.\u201d<\/p>\n
