NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans wrapped up a third straight day of in-person interviews Thursday as part of the second round of their search for a general manager, meeting with Tampa Bay Buccaneers assistant general manager John Spytek and Green Bay Packers executive Jon-Eric Sullivan.
The Titans now have interviewed six candidates for the second time as they look to replace Ran Carthon, who was fired last week after the franchise went 9-25 in his two seasons as general manager. Chad Brinker, the team’s president of football operations, is overseeing the search that started with four days of virtual interviews with 10 candidates from Friday to Monday.
The Raiders also want to interview both Spytek and Sullivan for their GM opening, and the New York Jets interviewed Sullivan on Tuesday in their GM search.
Spytek was among the candidates Tennessee interviewed virtually Friday to kick off the first round and was the first candidate interviewed Thursday.
He has overseen Tampa Bay’s college and pro scouting departments since 2023. He started as an intern with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2005 before becoming a full-time college scout in 2006 and adding pro scouting duties in 2007. The Cleveland Browns hired him as director of college scouting in 2010. He was a scout for the Denver Broncos for three years before the Bucs hired him in 2016 as director of player personnel.
