What Titans GM Ran Carthon said about Mike Vrabel firing, more

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.

If you were hoping for a ton of information from Carthon, you’re going to be disappointed. Here’s a look at what else he said on Tuesday.
