One day after Jon Robinson was fired, Tennessee Titans players shared their reactions to the news before practice on Wednesday.
Prior to the players sharing their thoughts, head coach Mike Vrabel thanked Robinson while also diving into what’s next after the move. You can check out everything else Vrabel had to say about the situation right here.
“And with that, obviously change is never easy but we realize that we all have a job to do,” Vrabel said. “That job is evaluated each and every day. I told the team this, I met with all the staff — we have a personal relationship with Jon, everybody here in some capacity, and so our personal feelings aren’t what’s important.
“What’s important is that we respect and understand the decision, and that we move forward aligned, and do everything that we can to prepare our players and be great for them as we go out against the Jaguars at home,” he concluded.
Now, what the players had to say.
