The Tennessee Titans are making a significant change in their front office by hiring Mike Borgonzi as their new general manager. This decision comes on the heels of a disappointing two-season run under former GM Ran Carthon, who was let go after the team struggled with a 9-25 record.
Borgonzi, who previously served as the assistant GM for the Kansas City Chiefs, brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record of success to Nashville.
Experience and success in Kansas City
Borgonzi has spent an impressive 16 seasons with the Chiefs, starting from a college scouting administrator to the assistant GM role.
During his tenure, the Chiefs have enjoyed remarkable success, including three Super Bowl victories and ten AFC West titles. His experience in a winning environment is expected to be a crucial asset for the Titans as they look to rebuild and improve their performance on the field.
Challenges ahead for the Titans
With the Titans holding the top pick in the upcoming NFL draft, Borgonzi faces the challenge of revitalizing a team that has struggled to find its footing. The quarterback position, in particular, has been a point of concern, especially after the underwhelming performance of Will Levis, the team’s second-round pick in 2023.
The Titans are in a position to make significant changes, and Borgonzi’s expertise will be vital in identifying and acquiring the right talent to turn the franchise around.
Collaboration with team leadership
As Borgonzi steps into his new role, he will work closely with Chad Brinker, the president of football operations.
This collaboration is expected to streamline decision-making processes and ensure that the team is aligned in its vision for the future. Team president and CEO Burke Nihill has emphasized that Brinker will have the final say on all football-related matters, including roster decisions.
This structure aims to foster a cohesive approach to rebuilding the Titans into a competitive team.
The Titans’ ownership has expressed a clear desire for improvement, with owner Amy Adams Strunk stating her disappointment in the team’s recent performance. As the Titans embark on this new chapter with Borgonzi at the helm, fans are hopeful that his leadership will usher in a new era of success for the franchise.
