Overview

• Tennessee announced Monday it dismissed head coach Brian Callahan, creating an opening at the top job.
• NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport identified Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith and Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy as early names to watch.
• Smith previously ran Tennessee’s offense in 2019–2020 and later went 21–30 as the Falcons’ head coach from 2021–2023.
• Nagy is Andy Reid’s offensive coordinator in Kansas City and compiled a 34–31 record as Bears head coach after a 12–4 debut season.
• Coverage indicates the search could be wide-ranging and extend into the offseason, with a focus on coaching that can develop No. 1 pick Cam Ward.
