BREAKING NEWS: Excitement Fills Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee as Jeff Fisher Returns as General Manager After Mike Borgonzi Resignation, Sparking a New Era of Hope and Leadership
In a move that has sent shockwaves of excitement and optimism through Nashville and the wider football community, Jeff Fisher—the legendary former head coach who once led the franchise to its greatest heights—has returned to the Tennessee Titans organization. This time, Fisher takes on the role of General Manager, stepping in after the sudden resignation of Mike Borgonzi. The announcement, made official at a press conference inside Nissan Stadium, has Titans fans buzzing with anticipation and belief that a new, transformative era is beginning in Music City.
The Return of a Familiar Face
Jeff Fisher is no stranger to the Titans faithful. From 1994 to 2010, Fisher served as the head coach of the franchise, first in its Houston Oilers incarnation and then during its relocation and rebirth as the Tennessee Titans. Under his guidance, the team enjoyed consistent success, highlighted by an unforgettable run to Super Bowl XXXIV in 1999—a game forever remembered for the Titans coming within a yard of forcing overtime.
Fisher’s teams were known for their toughness, physicality, and unrelenting spirit, traits that endeared him to fans and helped define the identity of Titans football. Now, after more than a decade away from the organization, Fisher returns—not to pace the sidelines, but to lead the team’s front office, tasked with building a championship-caliber roster.

Borgonzi, who came to Nashville after a successful tenure in Kansas City’s front office, had overseen a challenging transitional year for the team marked by injuries, a mid-season coaching change, and uneven results on the field.
In a statement, Borgonzi expressed gratitude to the organization: “I want to thank the Titans for the opportunity. I believe in this team and its future, but I need to focus on my family at this time. I’ll always be rooting for Tennessee.”
While Borgonzi’s departure came as a surprise, the front office moved swiftly to bring in a leader with deep ties to the team and the city.
A New Era of Leadership
Jeff Fisher’s appointment is more than just a nostalgic nod to the past; it signals a bold new vision for the Titans. Known during his coaching days for his ability to connect with players and staff alike, Fisher brings a wealth of football knowledge, a keen eye for talent, and a reputation for fostering a strong organizational culture.
His first order of business? Stabilizing a roster that showed promise but lacked consistency during the 2024 season. Fisher emphasized during his press con
