Mike Borgonzi leads the Tennessee Titans' coaching search after a front office restructure placed him in charge. The second-year general manager has a committee to help cast a wide net for candidates. The job is attractive due to over $100 million in salary cap space, the No. 4 overall draft pick, and young quarterback Cam Ward.

Borgonzi, who spent 16 years with the Kansas City Chiefs, seeks a leader with a clear vision and accountability. He's applying lessons from Andy Reid's tenure but denies a 'Chiefs bias.' Ward wants a coach who understands both sides of the ball and can unite the locker room. The search includes about 20 candidates.

Notable names on the list include Robert Saleh and Matt Nagy. Saleh, the 49ers' defensive coordinator, fits Borgonzi's profile of a demanding connector. Nagy, the Chiefs' offensive coordinator, has ties to Borgonzi and a scheme that could suit Ward. The timeline is flexible, especially with playoff-coaching candidates still involved.
