Overview
- Tampa Bay announced on Jan. 9 that it completed a virtual interview with former Titans head coach Brian Callahan for its vacant offensive coordinator job.
- The position opened after the Buccaneers dismissed Josh Grizzard following one season, and a hire would mark the team’s fifth offensive coordinator in five years.
- Callahan previously coordinated the Bengals’ offense from 2019 to 2023 with notable success, then went 4-19 as the Titans’ head coach and ceded play-calling early in 2025.
- ESPN’s Jeff Darlington has reported the Buccaneers are among teams eyeing Mike McDaniel for an OC role, indicating Tampa Bay is evaluating multiple candidates.
- Callahan, 41, has no prior professional ties to head coach Todd Bowles or GM Jason Licht, and the next OC will be tasked with guiding an offense built around quarterback Baker Mayfield.
