The Tennessee Titans have found their new general manager. NFL insider Tom Pelissero reports that the Titans are hiring Kansas City assistant general manager Mike Borgonzi as their next general manager. His hiring comes 10 days after the team parted ways with Ran Carthon.
The longtime executive has climbed the front office ladder with the Chiefs and will now take over the Titans and try to rebuild a roster that went 3-14 in 2024.
Did the Titans make the right choice? Here’s how fans on X reacted to the news.
Big move for the #Titans! Mike Borgonzi’s track record with the #Chiefs is impressive—16 years and a hand in building 3 Super Bowl rosters….Let’s hope he brings that championship magic to Nashville! 🏈 #TitanUp https://t.co/LyqVrFeldV

Best of luck to Mike Borgonzi, but I’d be hesitant to expect success from any #Titans personnel member with Amy Adams Strunk in charge
She’s clearly shown a lack of patience and tactful operation, leading to dysfunction in the Music City

No clue if this is good or not—like most GM hires—but he’s been at least from a winning culture. That’s a plus, right?#Titans https://t.co/Vz6Dl5u3Ny

A shocker for all #Titans followers 😂. I saw so many theories about JES in the past 2 days. Ian Cunningham must be hating Titans.#Titanup https://t.co/LZ2FbZKQos

Great hire in my opinion. The #Titans needed someone proven in a winning organization and they seemingly get that in Borgonzi.
Let’s see what he and Brinker can do. https://t.co/FabUfsl6Oc

I really am shocked because this seems like the best possible choice among those that were interviewed. #Titans #NFL
