Check back for updates as the search continues.
Titans President of Football Operations, Chad Brinker, will be leading the search for the new GM. And the team made clear that Brinker will not only have final say on the roster, but he will also be in charge of everything football-related for the franchise.
Brinker told Titans senior writer, Jim Wyatt, the qualities he’s looking for in the GM.
“It is someone who wakes up every single day and the only thing they think about is building a roster, evaluating players, watching tape, working with the coaching staff. And, not just someone who knows how to collect talent, but someone who really understands how to build a team and how all the pieces fit together that I can work with not only in the short term, but building for the future, the long term, and understanding how all those pieces fit together. If you make a decision here, how it impacts a decision down the road, and really understand the full puzzle.
“At the end of the day, this person is going to be all ball, all day. They are going to focus on the roster and the coaching staff, and I’ll continue in my role with handling all the other areas that surround the center of our program, scouting and coaches. So, I will support that person. But we are looking for a general manager who wakes up every day and is focused on building the team.”
Carthon was fired after two seasons with the franchise that yielded a 9-25 record. The Titans also have the top pick in April’s NFL Draft.
Head Coach Brian Callahan was retained after a 3-14 campaign in 2024, his first as an NFL head coach.
