    Well regardless of how I feel about the signing, today I am turning the page from angry fan. to supportive fan. Just like with Whisenhunt and Munch. I'm probably in the minority on this but that's alright. I can never cheer for a Titans player or coach to lose.

    Coach Mularkey,
    You have my full support. I will be hoping for different results than we saw in 2005 and 2012 and 2015. I may not have thought you were the man for the job, but I also didn't want to draft Mariota. There are times I've been right, and times I've been wrong. I hope this is the latter, as I will gladly eat crow if it means the Titans are winners again. You have a special QB on your hands, and one that many coaches would love to have. Don't ruin his prime years for us please. Your track record isn't very exciting, but you did have some pretty unfortunate situations at both of your HC stops. Hardly anyone gets a 3rd chance at this lucrative of a job, let's hope the 3rd time really is a charm. I will also not hold my breath though, and you do have a lot to prove to the Titans fans. You have my support, but I'm not happy about it.

    GM Jon Robinson,
    I think you are what this organization has been missing and I think you'll be a great GM. You seem like you have a knack for scouting, and you want guys who love the game. As we have seen in the NFL that is very important. All of the guys drafted have some sort of talent or they wouldn't be here. This team needs guys who love then game and HATE losing. Get rid of the bad apples and load Mularkey up with so much talent that even his bad decisions lead us to victory. Hardwork beats talent, when talent doesn't work hard and that saying needs to ring true throughout our lockeroom. The ownership is dysfunctional right now but hopefully you can sort through that and build a winner. Despite what some people think this team is actually close to being a winner, especially with our resources (cap room, #1 pick, Marcus). A few pieces on defense, fix the O line, and a RB and we can actually contend in our division again. I'm actually hoping we can see success out of a 1st round pick now that Webster is gone.


    Steve Underwood,
    Lying to your fans, isn't a great way to build trust and support. As far as I'm concerned you can go back to retirement. This team needs accountability from top to bottom and you are not helping with that one bit. I will never forget your 155 candidates comment.

    Right there with you man. Ready for free agency and the draft. Hopefully those will go well and give us a glimmer of hope. Ready to feel positive about this team again. They don't make it easy though.

    The only way Mularkey gets a fair shake from fans is by winning immediately. 6-10 or 7-9 isn't going to be good enough.

    God help him if we start 1-2 or 0-3.

    I am always supportive, but I am still angry, and will remain so for awhile.

    I do look forward to seeing Robinson backing up his comments in FA/draft process. It will be interesting to see how much say he really gets here...

    We all have reason to be pissed off about how this went down.

    Being in business myself, i can honestly say i believe they are either;
    A: Selling the team and keeping it under wraps
    ~OR~
    B: They are sitting pretty on the money they make and reaping their benefits.

    Ownership has an ulterior motive either way..

    I wish the team the best, i dont want them to lose. Givign the head coach hire and OC, its hard to think anything will be different though. Robinson was a great hire and i expect him to bring in some good players. I just need ownership to change big time.

    I mean obviously we're still fans but they have a short leash! The fan base has no actual faith in the coaches or front office outside of GM, we're going to ride or die on whatever magic Mariota can pull off. I say magic because let's be real, we all saw that dumpster fire last season.

    Yeah I want the Titans to win. They can just do it without any more of my money.

    Robinson I believe in. Jury is out on Mularkey, although I liked his comment about how he can't blame the fans for not liking the HC selection. Underwood can suck it! What a total tool! He's a completely disconnected, lying, back-peddling little worm. Go Titans!

    I am in the same boat as well...as defensive as Underwood is about that, my cynical side is more suspicious about the team being up for sale. Just heard Floyd Reese say something similar on a radio show as well...
