The Tennessee Titans, currently rocking a brutal 0-4 record, just made some shocking moves off the field, sending a clear message that things are far from alright in Nashville. On Wednesday, just before their Sunday matchup against the Houston Texans, owner Amy Adams Strunk cleaned house in the front office, letting go of three key vice presidents, including the person behind their recent, controversial uniform change.
The Uniform Guru Gets the Boot as Front Office Turns Over
Yeah, you heard that right. Among the three execs shown the door was Erin Swartz, the team’s senior vice president of brand marketing. She was the one who oversaw that “much-hyped” uniform redesign back in March. Remember that? The one that leaned *hard* into their old Houston Oilers roots? This despite a fan base that’s been loudly denouncing all things Oilers ever since the team packed up and left Houston for Tennessee way back in ’97. Talk about reading the room wrong, yikes. Swartz had only been with the Titans since 2024, after spending 17 years with the Minnesota Vikings. But she wasn’t alone in getting the axe. Adam Nuse, the senior vice president and chief revenue officer, is out too. He joined the Titans in 2021 after a decade with the Corpus Christi Hooks and then heading up the Triple-A Nashville Sounds. Charles Jensen, vice president of creative who joined in 2025, also parted ways with the organization. This isn’t exactly new territory for Adams Strunk, the daughter of the late Bud Adams who moved the Oilers. Since 2022, this team has cycled through four different head coaches *and* four different general managers. That’s a lot of turnover, man.
0-4 on the Field, Super Bowl on the Horizon: Can They Hold It Together?
Let’s be real, the Titans haven’t exactly been lighting it up on the field, either. They’re winless right now, making Sunday’s game against the Texans only the seventh time in the Super Bowl era that two 0-4 teams have faced off. And zoom out a bit: this team has only scraped together six wins in the last two and a half seasons combined. Six! Now, add this front office upheaval to the mix. The Titans released a statement to the Nashville Tennessean, saying they’re “making changes to how we lead the business side of the organization” as they prep for their new stadium opening in 2027 and, oh yeah, *hosting the Super Bowl in 2030*. They’re looking to bring in an Executive Vice President and Chief Business Officer to lead their revenue, marketing, and comms teams. That’s a huge shift while they’re winless and navigating some serious long-term projects. And just to show how chaotic things are, an internal memo from team president and CEO Burke Nihill, which got leaked to reporter Paul Kuharsky, thanked employees for their “flexibility and resilency” while also telling them to keep the updates “confidential.” So much for that.
This team is in a wild spot, heading into Sunday’s clash with the Texans. It’s not just another game; it’s a statement on where this whole organization is heading, especially with that shiny new stadium on the way and the biggest game in football scheduled to land in Nashville in 2030. Can they even get a single win on the board to start turning this ship around? Everyone’s watching.
