NFL: Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams was so disgusted with his team’s performance in its 55-7 loss at Green Bay Sunday, he turned off the television before the game was over.

The Tennessean reports Adams said that he really likes Coach Mike Munchak, but if he’s not getting the job done, he has to find out. Adams went on to say that something is not right, and he plans to find out what the problem is and fix it. Adams also said he plans to meet with Munchak, whose contract goes through 2014, and the front office at the conclusion of the season.

The Titans close out the regular season next Sunday against Jacksonville at LP Field.
