NASHVILLE – The Tennessee Titans are looking for a new general manager and coach with no timeline to fill either job.

The man running the searches for both positions just had the interim tag taken off his own job after coming out of retirement a few months ago.

This franchise has won just five games the past two seasons – its worst stretch since 1983 and 1984.

Yet, the Titans have Marcus Mariota at quarterback and the top overall draft pick in the 2016 draft.

Titans president and CEO Steve Underwood said Monday they were “overrun” by requests from people wanting to be interviewed for either general manager or coach once news broke about the positions. Now they need to hire the right people.
