The Tennessee Titans interviewed Thomas Dimitroff for the team’s vacant general manager position on Friday.

Dimitroff’s father, Thomas Dimitroff Sr., played two seasons at quarterback for the Ottawa Rough Riders during the 1950s and later coached for the Rough Riders, Hamilton Tiger-Cats, and at the University of Guelph.

The Titans fired GM Ran Carthon on Tuesday, January 7 following a 3-14 season in Nashville. Tennessee currently holds the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
