The Tennessee Titans made a major announcement 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: Tampa Bay Buccaneers assistant GM John Spytek.
Titans informed the Bucs they plan to interview assistant GM John Spytek.

Spytek is another candidate with a tremendous amount of experience within scouting departments across the NFL. In his career, he has spent time as a scout with the Detroit Lions, Philadelphia Eagles, Cleveland Browns and Denver Broncos. When he arrived in Tampa Bay in 2016, he started his climb up the ladder under general manager Jason Licht and has played a major role in the development of the Bucs roster.
The Titans are said to be looking for a personnel guy and Spytek has the experience that makes him an attractive candidate.
We will continually update the general manager search as each candidate interviews. Check back for any and all information.
