Titans fire GM Carthon; Callahan stays head coach

Mike Florio reacts to the news that the Tennessee Titans have fired GM Ran Carthon while retaining head coach Brian Callahan, and explains what it means for the team moving forward.

Tua Tagovailoa

MIA Quarterback #1

Dolphins GM Chris Grier said the team had no long-term concern about Tua Tagovailoa’s hip.

Grier also noted that the team was “in a couple of top flight backup QBs” last offseason and that “every stone will be unturned” at backup QB this offseason. It sure sounds like Tagovailoa will be healthy enough to go in to next season as the No. 1 signal caller after missing the last two weeks of the season with a hip injury. But the Dolphins also appear to realize they can’t take it for granted that Tagovailoa will start 17 games now that he has missed at least four games in four of his five NFL seasons.
Tyreek Hill

MIA Wide Receiver #10

Dolphins GM Chris Grier said Tyreek Hill has never asked him for a trade.

The downside is that Hill “didn’t walk back his comments.” This looks like a situation that hasn’t been resolved completely yet and is being slow-pedaled by a Dolphins regime that knows it wants to keep Hill happy. There’s also the tricky bit of language of not asking *the GM* for a trade, opening up the door that perhaps it was asked elsewhere. “Mike and I had conversations with Tyreek, productive conversations. I will keep those between us. In a frustrating season, he was very emotional in a game where we had a chance coming back from 2-6,” Grier added. This is still something to monitor going forward.
Patrick Graham

LV Defensive Coordinator

The Athletic’s Tashan Reed reports the Jaguars requested an interview with Raiders DC Patrick Graham for their head coaching vacancy.

Graham is also interviewing for the Bengals defensive coordinator role that was left vacant by firing Lou Anarumo. The fact that Graham is getting interviews and even considering a horizontal move says a lot about the current job status situation in Las Vegas. Graham interviewed with the Chargers and Seahawks for their head coaching vacancies last year and has been a fixture on the coaching carousel in the 2020s.
Byron Leftwich

FA Offensive Coordinator #4

The Athletic’s Mike Jones reports the Patriots are talking with former Bucs OC Byron Leftwich about the team’s head coaching vacancy.

Leftwich, who nearly landed the Jaguars head coaching job three years ago, will be among the many candidates the Patriots talk to about their head coaching job after parting ways with Jerod Mayo. Leftwich’s NFL coaching experience includes one year as Arizona’s OC and four years as Tampa’s coordinator, calling plays for the Tom Brady-era Bucs and winning a Super Bowl during the 2020 COVID season. In New England, Leftwich would work with Drake Maye after an up-and-down rookie season.
Todd Monken

BAL Offensive Coordinator

Jaguars requested an interview with Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken for the team’s head coaching vacancy.

Monken will be a popular name on the head coaching vacancy circuit after he led the Ravens to a league-high in yards and the third most points, along with the second best offensive success rate. The Jaguars could very well lean toward an offensive-minded head coach who could help revive Trevor Lawrence’s career following his disastrous 2024 season, which was marred by injury. The Jags are also requesting head coaching interviews with Robert Saleh and Kellen Moore, among others.
Kellen Moore

PHI Offensive Coordinator #17

Jaguars requested an interview with Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore for the team’s head coaching vacancy.

Moore is going to be a popular name in head coaching searches over the next few weeks. The Saints have also requested a head coaching interview with Moore after he guided the Eagles offense to the sixth highest EPA per play and the 13th best offensive success rate, fueled by a nearly historic campaign from Saquon Barkley. In Jacksonville, Moore would be tasked with reviving Trevor Lawrence’s career after a horrendous 2024 season and developing Brian Thomas into an elite NFL wideout following his tremendous rookie campaign.
Robert Saleh

FA Head Coach

Jaguars requested an interview with former Jets head coach Robert Saleh for the team’s head coaching vacancy.

Saleh, fired by the Jets back in October after he went 20-43 over three and a half seasons, is among eight coaches Jacksonville wants to interview for its head coaching vacancy. Saleh would be an upset pick over names like Ben Johnson, Aaron Glenn, and Todd Monken, though the Jaguars could be seeking a players coach and a defensive specialist who could improve a Jags defense that was one of the league’s worst in 2024. Saleh, 45, should see another head coaching opportunity after he was railroaded by Jets ownership this year.
Ran Carthon

FA General Manager

Titans fired general manager Ran Carthon.

Tennessee was 9-25 over Carthon’s two seasons as GM. Titans owner Amy Adams Strunk said in a statement that she was concerned not only with the team’s win-loss record over the past two years, but the “long-term future should we stay the course.” Carthon in 2023 was victorious in a power struggle with former Titans head coach Mike Vrabel and was promoted to executive vice president. He then used the 33rd pick in the 2024 NFL Draft to take Will Levis, who was one of the NFL’s worst quarterbacks in 2024 and appears to be a career backup at best. Carthon’s front office also made curious signings like Tony Pollard and Calvin Ridley in the offseason. Carthon will likely land with another front office, though his days as a general manager are probably over.
Ben Johnson

DET Offensive Coordinator

The New York Post’s Brian Costello reports the Jets believe Lions OC Ben Johnson would not be a good fit for the team’s head coaching job.

It’s hardly a guarantee that Johnson, one of the best and most respected offensive play callers in the NFL over the past few seasons, would even take the Jets head coaching job if it were offered to him. Perhaps Jets ownership knows this and doesn’t want to waste time on the charade of Johnson taking on such a thankless head coaching job after he’s been patient in waiting for the right opportunity. The Jets are likely to hire a retread head coach — they’re interviewing former Jets head coach Rex Ryan Tuesday — who can make the team at least somewhat respectable in 2025 and beyond.
Aaron Glenn

DET Defensive Coordinator

Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn will interview for head coaching vacancies for the Jaguars, Jets, Saints, and Bears.

Glenn, one of the league’s best defensive coordinators over the past four years, could have his choice of head coaching jobs depending on how quickly these teams move to fill their coach openings. Glenn, 52, would inherit a horrendous Jaguars defense if he took that job, while the Jets and Bears jobs would come with decent-to-excellent defensive units. The Lions could end up losing both of their coordinators if Glenn lands a head coaching job and OC Ben Johnson leaves for a head coaching gig this offseason.
