NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Ran Carthon says he has been so busy earning a job as an NFL general manager that he hasn’t had time to contemplate the history and meaning of becoming the Tennessee Titans’ first Black GM. Carthon says an aunt texted to warn him that the question about making history would come and that was when he realized it. Carthon says his goal is to be successful and leave the door open for other Black men. He takes over a franchise that finished the season on a seven-game skid. Controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk says she still has high expectations despite the questions facing the team this offseason.
