Ran Carthon: At the end of the day, we are judged by victories and defeats

The Titans fired general manager Ran Carthon last week after just two seasons with the club.

Tennessee went 9-25 in Carton’s two years under two different head coaches — Mike Vrabel and Brian Callahan. Carthon was interviewed on 104.5 The Zone Monday morning and noted that while he’s never approached his job like it’s going to be over so soon, he knows what the standards are around the league.

“(I) know at the end of the day that we will be judged by victories and defeats, no matter what it is” Carthon said, via John Glennon of Nashville Post. “Our record just hasn’t been good the last two years and I understand that. That’s what it ultimately boils down to. If you look at most of the people that have been let go around the league, it comes down to wins and losses.”

Carthon added that he is “not the type of person to go and carry baggage and hate or anything in my heart. That’s just not me.”

But Carthon still believes Callahan can be a successful head coach.

“I know he’s going to be a lot better next year,” Carthon said. “You would have to be there to understand how hard he works at his job every day, to have a plan every week and to have a plan going forward. So I really believe in him and I wish him nothing but the best.”

And Carthon feels quarterback Will Levis can develop into a solid running back.

“I think Will will be fine,” Carthon said. “We have to understand with Will (that) I think this was maybe the fourth different offense he’s had to learn in as many years. Just having another year in the system will help him understand what ‘Cally’ wants in the system, understand what it takes to play quarterback in the system.”
