But realistically, what would it cost the Titans to land a Super Bowl-winning coach? Well, if you listen to NFL analyst Tony Grossi on 850 ESPN Cleveland, you'll hear it's a mix of money and control.

"$20 million a year, not a problem, $10 million assistant coach budget, total authority over the roster, and also would like to select his own guy to lean on, personnel guy."While that report was somewhat debunked by NFL insider and Harbaugh friend Ian O'Connor of The Athletic, it is still worth monitoring in the coming days regarding Tennessee and its current front office configuration. Tennessee finally appears to have a solid organizational structure in place after owner Amy Adams Strunk announced the team’s front office restructuring a week ago, giving general manager Mike Borgonzi some much-needed control of football operations.
