In their quest for a new general, the Tennessee Titans conducted interviews with four additional candidates on Saturday.
Ed Dodds, the assistant general manager of the Colts, Matt Berry, the senior director of player personnel in Seattle, Terrance Gray, the director of player personnel at Buffalo, Catherine Hickman, and Cleveland’s assistant general manager were all virtually interviewed by Tennessee.
After the Titans went 9–25 in his two seasons as general manager, Ran Carthon was fired on Tuesday, and the team is currently looking to replace him. The search is being led by the team’s president of football operations, Chad Brinker.
Dodds has been with Indianapolis for eight seasons, serving as assistant general manager for the last seven. He began working for Seattle as a scout in 2007 and rose to the position of senior personnel executive, assessing college and professional players until 2016. He has also worked at Texas A&M-Kingsville, his alma mater, and with the Raiders.
A native of Nashville, Tennessee, Berry got his NFL start spending five seasons with the Atlanta Falcons. He has been with Seattle the past 17 seasons starting s a regional scout, then a national scout before becoming director of college scouting in 2015. He was named to his current job in 2023.
Gray has spent eight seasons with Buffalo and is in his third season in his current role. He started as assistant director of player personnel in 2021 and director of college scouting. He spent 11 seasons as a college scout for the Vikings and started in player development and player personnel in 2003 with Kansas City.
The Titans concluded the second day of interviews Saturday night with Hickman, currently the NFL’s highest-ranking female executive with a team.
She has been assistant general manager and vice president of football operations with the Browns since 2022 after being hired in 2019 as the football operations coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles. She also worked for Montreal and Toronto in the Canadian Football League.
Tennessee started this search Friday interviewing a trio of candidates including a pair of former general managers in Reggie McKenzie and Thomas Dimitroff.
