The Tennessee Titans surprised many with the hiring of former Kansas City Chiefs assistant general manager Mike Borgonzi as their new GM. Borgonzi was arguably the best candidate available and he should bring a different attitude to the front office.
Borgonzi is an experienced personnel man with many connections throughout the league that should open doors with both players and organizations. The move could also have ramifications within his former organization, as he played a major role in all personnel matters.
One person who went out of the way to applaud this hire was his former employer, Brett Veach, who took to X and announced it as a “home run” for the Titans.
“First and foremost, congratulations to Mike, his wife Jill, and their kids on the well-deserved opportunity,” Veach said. “Mike has an incredible football mind, he’s detailed in his work and he understands the ins and outs of the draft, free agency, building an NFL roster, and managing the salary cap. Beyond the job, Mike is an outstanding father, husband, and a close friend. I am excited to see Mike get his chance to lead an organization. The Titans made an outstanding hire.”
Borgonzi got his NFL start in 2009 with the Chiefs and has spent the last 16 years working his way up the ladder within the organization. During that time, he took on a vital role in the construction of their Super Bowl-winning roster, something the Titans need now more than ever.
Borgonzi will officially be introduced to Nashville in the coming days, where he will lay out his vision for the organization and attempt to outline what changes he may make in the coming months.
Titans fans should look forward to those changes and be optimistic for the future of the organization.
