Overview

• Tennessee dismissed Brian Callahan earlier this week after a 3-14 season in 2024 and a 1-5 start in 2025.
• Dianna Russini listed four early candidates: Matt Nagy, Lou Anarumo, Anthony Weaver and Arthur Smith.
• Ian Rapoport characterized the process as methodical and cited Smith, Nagy, Anarumo and Mike McCarthy as names to watch.
• Arthur Smith’s case is buoyed by prior Titans ties and a Steelers offense producing 25 points per game, ranking 11th in scoring this season.
• Lou Anarumo, in his first year guiding the Colts defense, has the unit entering Week 7 ranked fourth in points allowed after six seasons calling Cincinnati’s defense, while Chad Brinker and Mike Borgonzi are leading the search without a consulting firm.
