HOUSTON — Enough is enough. Tennessee Titans (0-4) controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk must fire head coach Brian Callahan after the club was humiliated in a shutout by a woeful Houston Texans (1-3) team on Sunday, 26-0.

It doesn’t fix the larger issue, but there must be accountability.

This is Amy Adams Strunk’s fault

Strunk is ultimately to blame for cratering her franchise.

Somewhere along the way, she lost the thread. A series of bad decisions, bad drafting, and an even worse hiring process that followed has Strunk’s club in a tailspin. She does not meddle like Jerry Jones and the Cowboys or tweet at will like late-Colts owner Jim Irsay, but her inability to identify the right people to run her team has turned her and them into a total joke.

Tennessee was once a team to be feared. Now, they’re minor league.

Strunk won’t speak or take questions on her decision-making, nor does she have to. Owners operate by different rules, and this one has empowered several people to speak on her behalf. Team president Burke Nihill helped her get the new Nissan Stadium construction across the finish line and heads up the business side of the franchise. President of Football Operations Chad Brinker oversees the on-field product after being promoted and outlasting the general manager under whom he was hired.

The stadium helps the franchise valuation and ultimately Strunk’s net worth. Everything else about the Titans is pathetic, and their new Nissan Stadium is soon to be lipstick on a pig. Every person in a position of power with this team has failed miserably. Scarier yet, they have this year’s No. 1 overall pick at quarterback, Cam Ward, on the roster, who is at risk of being ruined by this constant stream of shit.

Callahan will be fired, another coach will come in, and Ward will have to survive the repercussions of an unserious football organization.

“Everything, from interception to penalty to an incompletion by me, a bad ball,” said Ward after the latest defeat. “Once we passed the 50, we’re just not extending the drive. So we are keeping a buck right now, we ass. We’re 0-4. At this point, we have nothing to lose. We dropped a quarter of our games, and we’ve yet to do anything yet. We have to lock in, especially myself. Offensive line, from the defensive line, from the special teams, to all three phases, we have to play together. We have not played together this year yet, and that’s just something that we want to preach about it every day, every day, we got to do better, and we’re doing that, but it has to show up on Sundays. It hasn’t showed up yet, but it’s got to show up next week.”

Ward hasn’t been a part of 10 consecutive losses dating back to last season, but you can tell the franchise’s suck is wearing him thin.

Callahan should be fired, but he should not be alone. Ownership has failed the fans, the players, and the coaches. Strunk shouldn’t sell the team, given how valuable NFL franchises are; that would just be financially irresponsible.

Serious self-reflection is required, however, to decide whether the people she’s empowered across the board are leading her organization down the right path.
