A lot of good information on Mike Borgonzi in today’s Monday Morning Quarterback
Albert Breer says the Tennessee Titans “hit a home run” with the hiring of Mike Borgonzi as their general manager in his Monday Morning Quarterback column this morning. There are a lot of good details in the article about the Titans process and Borgonzi’s role with the Kansas City Chiefs over the past eight years. Breer says that Borgonzi was part of a “small decision-making circle” in KC that included general manager Brett Veach, coach Andy Reid, and SVP of football operations/strategy Chris Shea. One of the...
The Titans continue to work on filling out the front office
Buck Reising wrote an article over at A to Z Sports last night highlighting two names that have surfaced as the potential assistant general manager for the Tennessee Titans. Of course, everyone is already making the assistant to the assistant to the general manager joke with Chad Brinker having the final say on the roster. It’s a funnyish joke, but I will remind you again that after we were told the Titans wouldn’t be able to get a good candidate for general manager, they hired Mike Borgonzi who was...
The Titans owner is excited, again, about a new GM
Amy Adams Strunk has been the Tennessee Titans controlling owner since 2015. Mike Borgonzi, who the Titans hired yesterday to be their general manager, is her third GM to hire following Jon Robinson and Ran Carthon. Each time AAS has released a statement about how excited she is about the new guy. Here is what she had to say about Borgonzi (via tennesseetitans.com):
“During Mike’s 16 years in the league, he has been a key part of transforming the Chiefs from a two-win team to a three-time Super Bowl...
Apparently this is an attractive job!
The Tennessee Titans have their new general manager. Less than two weeks after Ran Carthon was fired, the Titans are hiring Mike Borgonzi who has been with the Kansas City Chiefs for the past 16 seasons according to Tom Pelissero. Adam Schefter is reporting that the deal is not done yet. Borgonzi has been one of the hottest names in GM searches for the last few years.
My guess is that pretty shortly we will get news on who is out from the Titans coaching staff now that the GM search has wrapped up....
The Titans will get an up close look at the Colorado quarterback
Tennessee Titans assistant wide receivers coach Payton McCollum will be the assistant quarterbacks coach of the West team at the East-West Shrine Bowl that is taking place on January 30th at 7 PM. It was announced today that Shedeur Sanders will be playing on the West team. This will be a good opportunity for the Titans to get a lot of information about Sanders leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft.
Sanders seems to be pretty widely regarded as the second best quarterback in this draft behind Miami’s...
Mike Vrabel has full control with the Patriots. Will it work out?
Here’s a statement I never thought I would make: This morning I listened to a podcasted hour of Jared Stillman’s show from yesterday. I saw that he and Ramon Foster were beefing on Twitter and wanted to go back and listen to what Stillman said on his show yesterday. What a time to be alive!
Anyway, at the beginning of the hour, he was talking about the fact that Ryan Cowden is joining Mike Vrabel with the New England Patriots. The significance to that is the fact that...
Another mock with the Titans going quarterback with the first pick
Dane Brugler says the Tennessee Titans would surprise everyone if they did not either trade the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft or use it to select a quarterback in his latest 2025 NFL mock draft. Since Brugler didn’t make any trades in his mock, the Titans selected Cam Ward, QB, Miami with the first pick. This has been a really popular pick in these early mock drafts. There is still a long way to go before anyone really knows what the Titans will do with the...
Are the Titans going to get scooped for their preferred GM candidate?
The Tennessee Titans have narrowed down their search for the team’s next general manager. On Tuesday, six of the initial 10 candidates were revealed to be receiving second interviews with the organization later this week, this time in person. They are Mike Borgonzi (Chiefs), Jon-Eric Sullivan (Packers), Ed Dodds (Colts), Ian Cunningham (Bears), John Spytek (Buccaneers), and Terrance Gray (Bills).
The Titans possess just one of three league-wide GM vacancies. The other two belong to the New York Jets and Las Vegas Raiders. Despite the scarcity, the Titans...
Everyone is asking what the Tennessee Titans should do with the No. 1 overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft. President of football operations Chad Brinker and the next general manager will have to weigh several potential options. Drafting a quarterback like Shedeur Sanders or Cam Ward, an elite non-QB like Travis Hunter or Abdul Carter, or trading down, qualify as Tennessee’s realistic paths.
The Draft Network recently released their latest mock draft. In that projection, Jaime Eisner has the Titans completing a trade with the New York Giants. In return for the top overall selection, the Titans acquire Nos....
Here are the guys that Chad Brinker wants to talk to again.
The Tennessee Titans completed their initial round of interviews for their vacant general manager position. There were 10 interviews that took place from Friday through today. All 10 people who were reportedly requested agreed to interview here despite a narrative that no one would want the job.
Ian Rapoport is reporting the first three guys that will be brought in for a second interview. They are Kanas City Chiefs assistant GM Mike Borgonzi, Tampa Bay Buccaneers assistant GM John Spytek, and Chicago Bears assistant GM Ian Cunningham. Rapoport...
Here we go!
Mike Vrabel loves Jeffery Simmons. Jeffery Simmons loves Mike Vrabel. They made no secret about that when they were both with the Tennessee Titans. Well, in case somehow you missed it yesterday, the New England Patriots hired Mike Vrabel as their head coach. That prompted a Patriots fan yesterday to say that the Patriots should start the Vrabel era by trading for Jeffery Simmons. Big Jeff “liked” the tweet”
Mike Herndon tweeted this in response:
I agree with Mike here. Simmons is a really good player, but he has not lived up to the contract he signed...
I am emotional.
Mike Keith is leaving the Tennessee Titans to become the voice of the Tennessee Volunteers according to The Athletic. Keith has been with the franchise since before they even moved to Tennessee. In 1996, while they were still playing in Houston, Keith hosted a pregame show for stations carrying Houston Oilers games in Tennessee. He did the scoreboard during broadcasts in 1997, was the color analyst in 1998, and became the Voice of the Titans doing the play-by-play in 1999.
His legendary call of the Music City Miracle still gives me goosebumps every time I hear it....
