Tennessee Titans General Manager Ran Carthon fired: What was the team’s record the last two seasons?
Carthon has paid the price for two hugely disappointing years in Nashville, in which the Titans haven’t come close to the playoffs.
The 2024 NFL regular season finished less than 48 hours ago and the firings have already begun. Ahead of having the first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans have decided to remove Ran Carthon as General Manager after another disappointing season.
Following their most recent postseason venture in the 2021 season, things have gotten steadily worse for the Titans. And the last two years in particular, during which time Carthon has been their GM, have been especially underwhelming.
Titans' poor performance with Carthon as GM
In 2023, Tennessee finished bottom of the AFC South for the first time since 2015 with a 6-11 record, a downturn from the previous season when 7-10 was enough for them to finish second (albeit not qualify for the preseason for the first time in four years).
Rather than bounce back, however, they dropped off even further in their first (and only?) season under first-time head coach Brian Callahan. The Titans ended the recently-completed regular season with a disastrous 3-14 record, concluding with six consecutive defeats from Week 13 onwards.
While the Cleveland Browns and the New York Giants also finished with identical regular season records, the strength-of-schedule tiebreaker means Tennessee ended up being the lowest-ranked team in the whole of the NFL.
That, of course, is the position no team wants to be in, yet it does come with a silver lining - the first selection in the next NFL Draft. The Titans will get their pick of the hottest new football talent but Carthon won’t be the man doing the picking.
