Gonzo for Borgonzi

The Tennessee Titans hired Mike Borgonzi to be their third general manager in the last 25 months. ... Borgonzi comes from the Kansas City Chiefs, where he was most recently assistant general manager, and continues a recent trend of the Titans hiring their top personnel man from a franchise with multiple Super Bowl appearances over the last decade. ... Franchise officials also did their best to clarify their new power structure in which the new general manager will report to the director of football operations, Chad Brinker. ... One of two unusual elements of the day was Brinker meeting with the media ahead of Borgonzi's press conference in an on-the-record session for which no audio or video recording was allowed so as not to distract from the day's main event. ... The second unusual element of the day was the absence of controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk, who apparently felt no responsibility to speak to or answer questions about the instability she has created by firing one of the franchise's central figures each of the last three years. ... Brinker and Borgonzi each talked about wanting to be a draft-and-develop organization, but they also put forth a formula that they believe can accomplish that goal.
