Titans Owner Amy Adams Strunk Establishing New Public Image With Fans In Mind

The Titans have "started building a new and more visible public image" of Controlling Owner Amy Adams Strunk, who previously appeared to fans "only through the lenses of cameras that recorded her strolling the sidelines before games," according to John Glennon of the Nashville TENNESSEAN. Adams Strunk, who took over control of the team in March '15, today is scheduled to "meet with Titans season ticket-holders for the first time." She along with President & CEO Steve Underwood, GM Jon Robinson and coach Mike Mularkey "will field questions from fans during lunch and dinner events at Music City Center." This comes on the heels of Adams Strunk last week appearing in a "10-minute, Titans-produced video offering her thoughts on a number of topics," including the team's recent coach and GM-hiring process. The Titans have not made the playoffs since '08, and have had "just one winning season since then." The recent struggles "could go a long way toward explaining some fans' desires for a more public message from Adams Strunk." She has been the team's controlling owner "only for a year." She "took over from her sister, Susie Adams Smith, who initially held the controlling owner position following the death of their father, franchise founder and owner Bud Adams." Adams Strunk was a "consistent presence last season, attending every home and away game," but she "kept a low public profile, declining all interview requests" (Nashville TENNESSEAN, 2/18).
