Titans hire Chiefs executive Mike Borgonzi as their general manager

By Canadian Press on January 17, 2025.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans moved quickly in hiring a new general manager, announcing Kansas City assistant general manager Mike Borgonzi as their pick Friday.

The Titans only started interviewing candidates virtually Jan. 10 and spoke to 10 candidates over the span of four days. Tennessee started their second round of interviews Tuesday with two candidates meeting with the Titans in person each day through Thursday.

Borgonzi replaces Ran Carthon, who was fired last week after the franchise went 9-25 in his two seasons as general manager.

This hiring comes two years to the date that Tennessee hired Carthon.

Borgonzi will be introduced at a news conference next week. He was among two candidates who interviewed virtually on Sunday. Borgonzi, who also interviewed with the New York Jets for their GM opening, had his second interview with the Titans on Wednesday.

He joins the Titans after 16 seasons with the Chiefs, who go into Saturday’s divisional round as the AFC’s No. 1 seed and the two-time defending Super Bowl champs. Kansas City has played in four of the past five Super Bowls with three victories since January 2020. ___
