The Tennessee Titans made a major change with their leadership for the third straight season, firing GM Ran Carthon on Tuesday and handing final say of the roster to president of football operations Chad Brinker.

Chad Brinker arrived in Tennessee two years ago, as the Assistant General Manager. Now, the General Manager will essentially be his assistant. The headline on Tuesday is that the Titans have fired G.M. Ran Carthon. The real news is that Brinker had emerged as the man in charge of the entire football operation.

Chad Brinker will lead the Tennessee Titans' search for their next GM, but he'll retain authority over the roster moving forward.
