Summary

Recorded: May 16th 2024 | On this episode of Best of the Bus, the guys were joined by former Tennessee Titans General Manager, Ran Carthon. The first thing they got into was Ran cutting Taylor and how that whole process went down, which led into a conversation about what it’s like having to cut players — and whether there have ever been any sketchy situations that came from it. The Boys also got into the process and firing of former Titans head coach Mike Vrabel.

The guys also dove into what the draft war room is really like and Ran’s thought process during this year’s draft. He pulled back the curtain to give an inside look at life as a GM — from making roster moves to hiring a new head coach.

Enjoy, fellas.
