The Tennessee Titans announced a significant coaching change following a disappointing start to their season. Head coach Brian Callahan was relieved of his duties after the team managed only four wins against 19 losses during his tenure. This season, the Titans’ offense was particularly troubling, scoring just 83 points in six games, marking their lowest output since 1985.
Coaching Change Announcement
The decision came after discussions among the franchise’s leadership team. Chad Brinker, the Titans’ president of football operations, expressed gratitude for Callahan’s dedication to the organization and the community. He acknowledged the difficulty of such decisions but emphasized the need for the team to meet higher performance standards.
Performance Overview
- Record: 4 wins, 19 losses under Callahan
- Offensive Points Scored: 83 points in six games
- Historical Context: Lowest score in six games since 1985
Potential Candidates for Titans’ Head Coach
With Callahan’s departure, speculation has begun regarding his replacement. Early reports from Dianna Russini of The Athletic indicate several potential candidates:
- Matt Nagy: Offensive Coordinator, Kansas City Chiefs
- Arthur Smith: Offensive Coordinator, Pittsburgh Steelers and former Titans coach
- Lou Anarumo: Defensive Coordinator, Indianapolis Colts
