NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Titans are hiring Ran Carthon, the San Francisco 49ers director of player personnel, as their new general manager, sources told ESPN's Dianna Russini and Jeff Darlington.
Carthon interviewed for the job last Friday with a panel of Titans executives, including controlling owner Amy Adams-Strunk. Carthon brings 15 years of experience to the Titans.
During his tenure in San Francisco, Carthon served as the director of pro personnel for five seasons with the 49ers before being elevated to director of player personnel two seasons ago. The 49ers went to the Super Bowl and played in two NFC Championship Games over that span.
