Phone rings. "Hello, this is the Adams family. Fix the Titans. Here's a blank check and five years to win a playoff game. Bud is haunting us from the grave and it must end. We can't take it anymore."

What do you do?

I hang up the phone, sit for about 30 second pondering the future and immediately put Ruston Webster and Ken Whisenhunt on a conference call.

"Gentlemen, thank you but I must ask you to pack your shit and get the fuck out. You have 10 minutes then my security people will escort you from the premises."

Second call is to Eddie George asking him to be my special assistant with carte blanche support to make all football decisions. Only caveat is that Eddie is barred from all known association with The Ohio State University while under contract so as not to further sully the spotless reputation of the Titans.

Third call is to Nashville media announcing a noon press conference in the bowels of Nissan Stadium. I take the podium to a warm ovation with Eddie to my right, Blaine "Hitman" Bishop to my left, flanked on either side by every single beloved Titans player who has been mistreated, vilified, spit upon and exiled from Titans nation.

"To the fans of the Tennessee Titans, a new era begins today. Those who held our beloved team hostage have been relieved of duties and will no longer be allowed to selfishly prey upon this organization. You see upon this podium many of those who made this team what it was and will one day be again.

Just before taking the stage today I spoke with Marcus Mariota. I crossed out the absurd clauses which caused the silly disagreement and we signed the deal over a handshake. Marcus has been informed that Zach Mettenberger is the starting quarterback Week 1. There is no QB controversy here and my people are at this moment on the phone with every GM in the NFL informing them that we are interested in trading Marcus Mariota for draft picks and starters.

I will start the process of hiring a new General Manager and head coach immediately. They will be tasked with putting a team together that will focus on re-establishing the run game and a dominant pass rush. I am not prepared to confirm or deny at this time that JJ Watt is begging to be traded to the Titans.

The last major issue I'd like to address is the stadium bullshit. I want to personally apologize to every single fan who's been angered and frustrated by the incredibly poor treatment they've received. I am today appointing a special task force that will address basic issues at the stadium with my personal guarantee that they will be completely resolved before our first home game. And yes, my dear Titans fans, beer prices will be significantly lowered henceforth.

I have five years to turn this organization around from top-to-bottom and win a playoff game. I ask you to embrace this process and support it. Heads have rolled this morning and they will continue to roll over the coming days. If you were part of the culture of arrogance and losing, you should consider yourself unemployed. Pack your shit and get out.

Thank you."

I read my contract to find what my severance package is. Then I go out and make questionable signings, refuse to trade my very high draft pick for an obscene price in order to give my young QB another year of seasoning, use the pick to get a QB and then refuse to sign him over a trivial figure because I plan on throwing him away at the end of the year.

Thus securing my golden parachute and moving on to a real team at a later date.

Thanks for submitting your plan for consideration but we won't be needing your services at this time.

I feel like their oline has been underachieving and not staying on the field enough. Regardless of the QB, their plan should be run the football behind Warmack or Lewan a whole lot.

Start Mettenberger because he is a Wisenhunt guy. Put Mariota and DGB on the second team in preseason and give them a ton of preseason reps.

Week 11, 12 and 13 they get the Jags, Oak, Jags. If the aren't 5-4 entering week 11, put in Mariota and phase in DGB when someone gets hurt because...NFL happens.

The most important thing is that they have to know which direction to go to by the end of the year. That means giving Mettenberger a chance and if he can't cut it then he isnt a starter and you change coaches and move in Mariota.

They have a very favorable schedule but starting Mariota from week 1, giving him the RG3 treatment and having the team go 9-7 is going to hurt the team moving forward because Mariota probably isnt going to learn the NFL game right away.

You are granted one wish to make either Dez or Tommy to be marooned on a desert island, never to be heard from again. Who do you choose?

Dez. He's a dangerous weapon. I want to savor every moment of Brady's humiliating public demise this season.

Mariota and DGB are like AA baseball prospects at this point. They are probably 2 of the best athletic talents you'll find but you dont want them playing real football players yet.

Listen to Nashville sports radio one afternoon. You'll be utterly amazed at how many people truly believe that Mariota is poised to single-handedly return the Titans to dominance. :L

It's fan desperation and it's understandable. Not many QB's are like Big Ben, most get the snot knocked out of them the first season and then pick it up. Look at Aikman and his first season. Unless you have a ProBowler to sit behind and watch (rodgers) you aren't going to do well your first season.

"Hello, this is the Adams family. Fix the Titans. Here's a blank check and five years to win a playoff game. Bud is haunting us from the grave and it must end. We can't take it anymore."

What do you do?

THIS is what i would do. I would immediately start looking for a new GM and head coach. I also would pick up the phone and start listening and hoping there would be offers in the coming years of a new buyer for the team to replace the Adams. I bring Whisencunt and Webster in my office and let them know all the dumb things they've done put the team in a hole and tell 'em hit the road.

I bring in an up and coming young coach and pick someone to be a GM that has been groomed in a winning organization possibly someone from Pittsburgh,Green Bay or Seattle.

I let the GM know that we want to start anew and do something similar to what Hammer said and get a couple ex Titans to assist me the CEO and help make things better and clear up all the confusion and bullshit that the team has went through the past few years.

I then tell Marcus Mariota that Mettenberger will be the starter and that he will sit,watch and learn as much as he can. If Mettenberger plays very well i eventually look to eventually trade Mariota and if Mettenberger struggles i might give Mariota playing time to see how he does.

I can't wait for the next draft because i want to find a really good pass rusher something the team needs badly. I also begin to remake the defense into the best i can make it. I also possibly look for a really good top notch RB too and quit ignoring the running game. If Sankey underwhelms in 2015 i look to trade him.

I want an offense where Mettenberger can throw it all over the field to his receivers like Luck does in Indy and also a top notch back to open things open in the running game. On defense i get some pass rushers and try to field a really good dominant defense. On special teams i want to find a good returner who is always a threat to score. I feel like thats been ignored too.

I also look to clear up all the crazy shit that has happened at the stadium like the long lines,gates not being open,etc. time to get someone in there to run that and ease all the congestion and have things running brisk and smoothly.

Trade Mariota and 3 future 1st rounders to NE for Tom Brady just to watch Hammer implode.

If I was a Titans fan, Id actually be a little upset that the rumors were flying that teams were offering a LOT for Mariota and they kept him with a coach that doesn't fit his talents. The AFC South is a division that has a Wild Card spot up for the taking if they just get average QB play which Mettenberger might give you guys.

An RG3 lite type trade is always hard to turn down on a risky upside QB
