Titans CEO apologizes to fans, supports Robert Saleh, GM - ESPN

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Titans CEO Burke Nihill, who is empowered to speak on behalf of controlling owner Amy Adams-Strunk, said the organization fully believes in coach Robert Saleh and general manager Mike Borgonzi and will have patience with them.

The Titans are 0-5 in Saleh's first season as coach and have won only three games since Borgonzi joined the team prior to the 2025 season. Overall, the franchise has won just six games dating to the 2023 season.

«I personally feel a sense of stability,» Nihill told ESPN on Friday. «I believe that Mike Borgonzi and Robert Saleh are ultimately going to get this team out of the woods and restore it to competitive football. The train is on the tracks. It just hasn't picked up momentum, but it will.

»I can confidently say this organization is in a place where there is organizational belief in Mike, in Robert, and they absolutely have all the support they need to get this train moving and moving faster."

Saleh's first season in Tennessee has not gotten off to a good start. The defense has generated only two turnovers, and the offense is averaging a league-low 246.4 yards and 11.6 points.

Regardless, Saleh said the Titans are sticking to their process, which he described as «rigorous and detailed,» and vowed to put their best foot forward on Sundays.

«We're going through a lot of adversity,» Saleh said. «But if we capture it the right way, we're going to find a lot of growth, and when I tell you guys that the sun is going to shine on this organization eventually, it's going to shine.»

The Titans have fired a coach or general manager every year since 2022. They recently fired senior vice president of brand marketing Erin Swartz, senior vice president and chief revenue officer Adam Nuse
