Titans fire general manager Ran Carthon
The Tennessee Titans have fired general manager Ran Carthon per Jim Wyatt. President of Football Operations Chad Brinker will be retained and will conduct the search for a new general manager per Wyatt’s report. The report also confirms that Brian Callahan will be retained as the Titans’ head coach.
Ran Carthon was hired in January of 2023 to succeed Jon Robinson who had been fired during the 2023 season. In his two years here, the team compiled a 9-25 record. Just putting that record out there without context isn’t fair to Carthon, however. He took over a roster that was depleted of talent after Robinson had three really bad drafts in a row.
Carthon’s 2024 draft looks like it could end up being pretty good. JC Latham had a solid rookie year and looks like a tackle the Titans can count on going forward. T’Vondre Seat showed some promise in his rookie season, though they need him to develop as a pass rusher. Jarvis Brownlee held his own at cornerback after the two guys they brought in, Chidobe Awuzie and L’Jarius Sneed were injured for the majority of the season.
But at the end of the day, this roster really is not any better than the one Carthon inherited when he was hired. It was always curious that Carthon hired Brinker and Brinker ended up being promoted over him in less than a year here. That was a pretty strong indication that people inside the organization were not happy with the job Ran was doing.
Last year, Amy Adams Strunk chose to keep Carthon over Mike Vrabel. You have to wonder if she regrets that decision now just a year later.
Full statement from AAS:
“I’ve loved the time I’ve spent with Ran. He’s a talented football mind, a great man, and friend to everyone along his path,” Strunk said in the statement. “It’s impossible to ignore that our football team hasn’t improved over the past two years. I am deeply disappointed in our poor win-loss record during this period, of course, but my decision also speaks to my concern about our long-term future should we stay the course.
“I love this team more than you can imagine. To our fans: we know this level of performance isn’t acceptable. We’re humbled by your support as we continue to work towards building the team you expect and deserve.”
