We’re six days away from the Kansas City Chiefs taking on the Houston Texans in the AFC Divisional Round, but there’s already buzzing news around Kansas City.

This past weekend, Chiefs assistant general manager Mike Borgonzi had a virtual interview with the Tennessee Titans for their open general manager position.

The Titans were so impressed with the interview, that they now plan to hold a second interview according to a Monday report from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Kansas City Chiefs On SI covered last week in depth on why Borgonzi’s experience has made him an ideal candidate for general manager vacancies.

This marks the continuation of a busy week for Borgonzi, whose resume speaks for itself. He’s now 16 years into his tenure with the Chiefs, which includes roles ranging from college and professional scouting all the way to assisting general manager Brett Veach in contract and draft endeavors. Veach’s top assistants tend to drum up some buzz – two somewhat recent examples are the departures of Ryan Poles to the Chicago Bears and Brandt Tilis to the Carolina Panthers.

Mike Borgonzi entered his 16th season with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2024. He was promoted to Assistant General Manager in 2021 after serving three seasons as the club’s Director of Football Operations (2018-20) and three seasons as the club’s Director of Player Personnel (2017)/Co-Director of Player Personnel (2015-16).

Borgonzi reportedly interviewed for that one in person last week on the same day that Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy had a virtual meeting for their head coaching vacancy. Chiefs Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, too, is in the mix for multiple head coaching jobs after having a trio of interviews on Friday.

For Kansas City, every piece, from coaches to players, have been crucial to the team’s success over the past several seasons. To lose one coach… or perhaps multiple, and a front office member, could really hurt them in the long term.
