That headline doesn’t check out — there’s no truth to it. Here’s what’s actually happening at Nissan Stadium:
The Tennessee Titans hired Mike Borgonzi as their general manager on January 17, 2025, ending Ran Carthon’s two-year tenure after a 9–25 stretch . Any claim of his resignation is mistaken.
Jeff Fisher, the former Titans head coach (1994–2010), has not taken any role — let alone GM — in Nashville. There’s zero credible evidence suggesting his return to the organization . Fisher has been out of NFL coaching since 2016.
Borgonzi joins with considerable resources: the Titans hold the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft and about $50 million in cap space . He also brought in key staffers like ex-Raiders GM Dave Ziegler (assistant GM) and former Dolphins GM Reggie McKenzie (VP/adviser) to bolster the front office
While Borgonzi is officially the GM, Chad Brinker, the team’s president of football operations, retains final football authority. Reddit users note this setup sparked questions over actual control—but that’s typical of multi-layered NFL front offices
- A fresh start. The Titans are pivoting toward a long-term rebuild: drafting, developing, and retaining talent. Borgonzi brings the blueprint from Kansas City’s championship machine
- Roster overhaul. Early focus: find a foundational QB, shore up the offensive line, add speed to the defense—especially with limited top-100 draft picks ).
- Strategic hires. Ziegler and McKenzie bring valuable experience and credibility, critical for establishing a strong scouting and personnel department
- Mike Borgonzi is the new Titans GM, starting Jan 17, 2025 — not a resignation.
- Jeff Fisher is not in the organization at all.
- Titans are rebuilding: drafting at #1, retooling cap space, leveraging new leadership and staff.
