Tennessee Titans owner Amy Adam Strunk shocked the entire football world when she decided to fire general manager Jon Robinson in the middle of the 2022 campaign.
After three consecutive offseasons that were mostly filled with lackluster draft classes and questionable veteran acquisitions, the move truthfully needed to be made.
The part that especially threw everyone off was the timing of it all. One person who was admittedly shocked by the move was franchise legend, Warren Moon.
The Hall of Fame quarterback and Houston Oilers legend even went as far as to compare the move to something her father and original owner Bud Adams would have done.
“I don’t know what caused [the firing of Robinson] to happen,” Moon said, per Paul Kuharsky. “I’m sure it’s probably a couple major things that we’ll never know about. But I’m sure having one of your [former] top players have that type of game against you did not help. And the fact that it seemed like the head coach wasn’t very happy about that move, either. It’s really hard to say why it happened. But yeah, she reminded me of her old man as far as that move. I think she’s done a tremendous job for the organization and all he things she’s got planned. But yeah, that one shocked me a little bit.”
Like her dad, Adams Strunk has made some surprise firings during her tenure as owner, so it’s easy to see where Moon is coming from when he compares her to his former boss.
On top of Robinson getting the boot recently, the firing of former head coach Mike Mularkey is another example.
In fact, Adams Strunk even threw her support behind Mularkey before letting him go not long after, something Bud did with Jeff Fisher before firing him in 2011.
There are still far more differences than similarities between Adams Strunk and her dad, but she’s definitely got at least a little Bud in her.
