NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Most assistant coaches pounce at a chance to secure an NFL head coaching job.
Such opportunities are rare. They want to mold a staff, lead men, install schemes and be the face and voice at the top.
It does not necessarily work the same way for general manager candidates.
Some of the NFL’s top lieutenants are content to stay lieutenants in a stable front office, maintaining job security in a familiar structure.
The Titans have interviewed former Lions GM Martin Mayhew and will interview Jacksonville director of pro scouting Chris Polian on Friday and two others at unknown times – Buccaneers director of player personnel Jon Robinson and Chiefs director of player personnel Chris Ballard.
