Overview

• Tennessee announced the move Monday, ending Callahan’s tenure at 4-19 across parts of two seasons following a 20-10 loss to the Raiders.
• The team’s release named no interim head coach, while some outlets reported senior offensive assistant Mike McCoy for the role without official confirmation.
• Chad Brinker said the decision followed insufficient growth, as the Titans sit near the bottom of key offensive metrics with just 83 points through six games.
• Callahan had ceded play-calling to quarterbacks coach Bo Hardegree after an 0-3 start, but the offense later suffered a 26-0 shutout to Houston.
• No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward has started all six games with a 55% completion rate, three touchdowns, four interceptions, and a league-high 25 sacks as Tennessee prepares to host Mike Vrabel’s Patriots in Week 7.
