Tackles mostly though right?

Jordan Morgan (as of now), Josh Meyers and Elgton Jenkins are all interior guys off the top of my head .

The @Titans completed a first-round virtual interview on Monday with @packers Vice President of Player Personnel Jon-Eric Sullivan for the team’s General Manager position.

So my friend who also lives in Wisconsin (and happens to be a titans fan coincidentally) told me something. He isn’t as much of a sicko about it as us here so I was catching him up on what’s going on with the interviews. I can’t upload the screenshots of the convo because it’s broken so I’ll just copy and paste what he said. He said he will probably talk to him again later and ask for more details potentially.

 

“I know a guy who’s uncle was strength and conditioning coach for the chiefs and apparently borganzi called him and asked if he’d come out of retirement to come with him to Tennessee if he took the job. Worked for the packers and the the chiefs”

I did some googling and found a guy named Barry Rubin who was the strength and conditioning coach for KC and with the packers prior. He would have been there with Borganzi.

 

Obviously any GM candidate is going to reach out to people before the interview so it might mean nothing. 

 

At the very least it shows that legit GM candidates are interested in this job.

Reggie McKenzie didn't get a single vote of course.

Surprised Borgonzi didn’t get more points in that poll based on how everyone talks about him

Guys, guys, guys….

 

Peyton’s wife is sorority sisters with my friend’s wife and she told her Peyton is coming to Tennessee.

Borgonzi is an alpha - the thinking may be that him playing second fiddle to Brinker isn't an ideal fit.

 

Maybe neither Brinker or Borgonzi are really ego guys and they don't care about such things though.

I’d imagine we could hear names of who is in the second round as early as tonight. I’d imagine they try to have those wrapped up by Thursday EOD

JFC.. come on. PK knows better.

 

"And even though Brinker has final say over all football matters, the NFL has somehow deemed the GM post to be higher-ranking, meaning teams have had to allow their people to interview for it."

The crying about it not being a real GM job is just so fucking stupid.

The rationale is just so off it bothers the hell out of me. So all these alpha personnel guys who want to be "real" GMs interviewed for a job they don't consider a real GM position because the NFL deemed it so their teams couldn't block the request? Candidates could have easily declined to be interviewed.

If anything, the condensed areas of focus would likely appeal to pure football guys.   Also, a GM with final say really doesn't have final say. They always report to someone.
