Tennessee Titans fans were excited to hear their recently fired GM Ran Carthon burn it down on Nashville radio this morning.

Carthon appeared on 104.5 The Zone’s “Ramon Kayla & Will.”

The interview was a real bore, as Carthon fielded softballs from the hosts.

That’s what some expected given Carthon’s reputation as a professional, but others were hoping for an interview that consisted of a little more substance.

While some of the responses were positive — many appreciated Carthon’s professionalism — a lot of people thought the interview was a waste of time.

Here were some of the reactions to Carthon’s appearance on the show:

If could take back the time wasted on the interview I would.
Ran Carthon should've just stayed home🤣😭

‘Class act’ is grossly overused in sports. But Ran Carthon is putting on a masterclass display of it on RKW.

Such a waste of time and an absolute joke. @1045TheZone played everybody like a fiddle. Pulled *breaking news* on us , for it to be a “hang out and get to know your FIRED GM Ran Carthon”

Ran Carthon is a total class act. More kind than I ever could be in this situation. That being said, these questions are boring softballs. We aren’t learning anything we didn’t already know. 🥱

This Ran Carthon “interview” is Game of Thrones Season 7 levels of disappointing. I understand he might not be able to answer some certain questions, but can we ask something other than “what books are you reading?” and “are you excited about the SB halftime show?” Christ…

Why are we doing a radio interview with Ran Carthon and it’s just a sit and hang out and talk/get to know him? He has been FIRED. I do not care what type of music he listens to. I want to know what’s going on within the organization. #Titans

Losing Mike Keith and a blunder of an interview with Ran Carthon.

What a week for 1045.
