Titans Fire Head Coach Brian Callahan After 1-5 Start

Team president Chad Brinker cited insufficient growth after consulting ownership and the general manager.

Overview

  • He is the first NFL head coach dismissed this season, one day after a 20-10 loss to the Raiders dropped Tennessee to 1-5.
  • Callahan leaves with a 4-19 record over two seasons after arriving from the Bengals in 2024.
  • Brinker said the decision followed discussions with owner Amy Adams Strunk and GM Mike Borgonzi about the team’s lack of progress.
  • The Titans did not name an interim coach and will host Mike Vrabel’s Patriots in Week 7.
  • Offense was central to the move: Tennessee ranks last in yards and near-last in points, rookie Cam Ward has a league-high 25 sacks with 1,101 yards, 3 TDs and 4 INTs, and Callahan had already ceded play-calling after Week 3.
