“Over the past few years, several job descriptions in our football organization were established to address specific situations and challenges that existed at the time,” Strunk said in the letter. “After working together for the past year, they believe – and I agree – there is a long-term benefit to clarifying and honing the focus areas of our football leadership.
“For that reason, we’re returning to a front office that feels more straightforward to them and me. Going forward, Mike will serve as General Manager in the most traditional sense – pick and support the players, oversee the coaching staff – while Chad will continue to lead everything else about the football team. For example, Mike will manage the 53-man roster and lead the head coach search. Chad will continue to serve as President of Football Operations, leading strategic functions including salary cap management, analytics, research and development, and other football departments.
“Both will report to me, and their collective goal is to return the football team to the championship caliber you deserve.”
The Titans reported that the search for their new head coach is expected to ramp up following the conclusion of the season.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that a “wide-ranging and deliberate” head coaching search from the Nashville franchise will include possible targets like Mike McCarthy, Matt Nagy, Jeff Hafley, Jesse Minter, Robert Saleh and Chris Shula.
