The Tennessee Titans’ search for a new general manager is reportedly over, with the team set to hire San Francisco 49ers director of pro personnel, Ran Carthon, as their new lead man in the front office.
Carthon, who is now the 15th general manager in franchise history, beat out two other finalists in Titans vice president of player personnel, Ryan Cowden, and Chicago Bears assistant GM, Ian Cunningham.
This is a great hire for the Titans.
For starters, it’s an outside hire that gives hope of at least a slightly new direction, something Titans were yearning for. Carthon also has a ton of experience and his knowledge of the game is well-respected around the league.
Last but not least, Carthon comes from a great franchise in the Niners, a team he has helped build into a perennial winner since he got there in 2017.
