The Tennessee Titans landed the No. 1 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft after finishing this season 3-14, but general manager Ran Carthon won't have the opportunity to continue the team's rebuild.
Amy Adams Strunk, president of the Titans announced on tuesday that the team was firing Carthon and ending his two-year run as general manager.
Brian Callahan will remain as head coach, Strunk added.
'I loved the time I spent with Ran. “He is a talented football mind, a great man and a friend to everyone who comes his way,” he said.
'It is impossible to ignore that our football team has not improved in the last two years. Of course, I am deeply disappointed by our poor win-loss record over this period, but my decision also reflects my concern for our long-term future if we stay the course.'
The Titans went a combined 9-25 during Carthon's two seasons after he was hired in January 2023.
Carthon had signed an extension with the franchise last offseason and has four years left on his current contract, according to NFL Network. Ian Rapoport.
The search for Carthon's replacement will be led by the team's president of football operations, Chad Brinker.
