Just hours after the Tennessee Titans fired head coach Mike Vrabel, general manager Ran Carthon spoke to the media in a press conference to discuss the move.
One of the common themes in early reports about Vrabel and the Titans possibly parting ways centered around a rift between he and Carthon.
Tennessee’s general manager said that was not the case and the two were on the same page.
“Mike and I we never had any issue,” Carthon said, per Teresa M. Walker of the Associated Press. “We worked well together and had a good relationship. We were in lockstep. I want to finally come out and dispel that.”
When asked why the Titans fired Vrabel, Carthon didn’t give an exact answer and instead cited owner Amy Adams Strunk’s statement.
