Maybe instead of punting the coach also could have gone for it on 4th and 1 on the other team's side of the field.
(Ingram also should have gotten the 1st)

Interesting. They're not out of the playoff hunt, but they have lost 3 of 5 and haven't beaten any of the good teams in the AFC.
Maybe more to the story?
There is likely something behind the scenes regarding Titans firing Jon Robinson. They've had a winning record for 6 straight years(probably 7 after this one).
Yeah I agree. They've been successful and firing a GM in the middle of the season is weird. That seems to be more of an off-season move.
That certainly happened but would be an egregious reason for an even-keeled owner to fire a GM.

Agreed. Brown made it clear that he did not want to be there. And considering the style of play the Titans employ, paying top dollar for a wide receiver doesn't seem like the smartest idea. They got good value for him, too.
Not saying it was the greatest move ever, but I wouldn't think it would be a job killer
Agree with your overall point that it's not a job killer.
AJB wanted to be there but they low-balled him at $16M annually when he said he would accept $20M annually.
Robinson messed up by re-signing Harold Landry coming off an unsustainable sack career high which didn't leave as much for AJB.
Big picture though, GMs make mistakes like that constantly, none of them get fired mid-season though.

There's some conjecture on if that $16M number is accurate, and that Brown did actually want out.
Report: A.J. Brown wanted out, stopped talking to Titans weeks ago
According to a new report, we are getting a very different picture than what former Tennessee wide receiver A.J. Brown painted in the wake of his being traded to the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday night. Per Sports Illustrated's John Glennon, Brown actually wanted

Who knows what the real story is, and honestly it doesn't really matter.
I get why he thought he commanded top dollar. I tend to agree with him. He's a top 5 receiver in this league, in my opinion.
I also get why the Titans might not have wanted to pay that amount of money for a receiver, based on how they are built.
In the end, their GM orchestrated a trade and got good value in return. I'm sure it sucks for Titans fans to see him be successful and rub it in their face, but it feels like there has to be more to it than just that as a reason for the GM to be fired.

Interesting that it's another NFC west team. There was talk that maybe Seattle might claim him to keep him from going to SF. The 49ers were pretty low on the waiver wire order. Who knows if they even would have tried to get him.

So, potentially back by the divisional or championship round, if they make it that far. Not sure if you'd want to have him start a playoff game after 7 weeks on the bench.

Apparently the 49ers did not make a claim.
49ers didn't make a waivers claim for Baker Mayfield
The Rams definitely made a waivers claim for quarterback Baker Mayfield.

So much for that prospect
