Listen Later

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. ...

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.
