Following the departure of Mike Vrabel, Tennessee selected Brian Callahan—an unproven leader—to guide the organization. Despite managing only a trio of victories in 2024, franchise owner Amy Adams Strunk retained him for another campaign.
Ran Carthon, previously overseeing personnel moves, was dismissed due to underwhelming roster design. Replacing him is Mike Borgonzi, a fresh hire determined to reshape a squad that finished with the top pick in the 2025 selection process.
This year’s transition included acquiring quarterback Cam Ward from Miami, a headline moment from draft weekend.
Just one day removed from the end of required minicamp, Tennessee disclosed sweeping staff updates. Ten individuals joined football operations, while eight existing personnel received upward mobility.
Among the newcomers: Dan Saganey (VP of Player Evaluation), Evert Geerlings (VP of Media Relations), Benny Allen (Security Director), and Chip Pugh (Development Director).
New roles were earned by Keenan Agnew and Kalan Reed (Pro Talent Evaluation), Mike Boni (Deputy College Scouting Lead), Vin Marino (SVP of Cap Management), and Erin Psajdl Davis (Analytics Coordinator).
Other names elevated: Rob Riederer (Strategy/Game Oversight), Jon Salge (Player Assessment Chief), and Kevin Turks (Pro Scouting Director).
This franchise has undergone a full-scale transformation compared to last season—a likely positive after posting the NFL’s poorest record. Borgonzi, a former Chiefs executive with 16 years of championship-level experience, brings a blueprint forged in a winning culture.
