Titans fire GM Ran Carthon after two seasons despite big spending spree

Associated Press  

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans hired general manager Ran Carthon to work with a veteran head coach fired last January. “And where we find ourselves today, we are looking for a general manager that has a different experience and skill set.” Carthon, also given the title of executive vice president last year, helped with the search that hired Callahan, a first-time head coach and offensive play-caller. Only a handful of Titans players from that six-season winning stretch signed extensions, including left tackle Taylor Lewan, five-time Pro Bowl running back Derrick Henry, two-time All-Pro safety Kevin Byard, outside linebacker Harold Landry, safety Amani Hooker and two-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons. First, the Titans have to hire a new general manager for what Brinker said is a very attractive job already drawing “impressive” inquiries.
