The Tennessee Titans surprised many observers on Tuesday when they fired general manager Ran Carthon. On Wednesday, they set out to find his replacement.
President of football operations Chad Brinker began his search to replace Carthon and started reaching out to potential candidates. We outlined some of the potential candidates yesterday, but as always, new ones emerge.
One name we didn’t mention in our 10 potential candidates was one of the first requests to come out: Indianapolis Colts assistant GM Ed Dodds.
The #Titans requested an interview with #Colts assistant GM Ed Dodds for their general manager job, per source.

Dodds is an interesting candidate who has worked in Indianapolis with general manager Chris Ballard since 2017. Dodds would bring 21-years of experience to the Titans front office, including stints in scouting and personnel before ascending to the assistant general manager position with the Colts. In all, he has worked for the Oakland Raiders, Seattle Seahawks and Colts during his career.
The Titans are said to be looking for a personnel guy and Dodds has the experience that makes him attractive.
We will continually update the general manager search as each candidate interviews. Check back for any and all information.
