Titans Shift Play-Calling to QB Coach Bo Hardegree After 0–3 Start

Brian Callahan says stepping back lets him focus on broader head-coach responsibilities during a tough three-game road stretch.

Overview

  • Tennessee confirmed Bo Hardegree will call offensive plays, with Nick Holz remaining offensive coordinator and leading game-planning duties.
  • Callahan cited Hardegree’s prior experience running the Raiders’ offense for nine games in 2023 as a key factor in the decision.
  • Holz and Tyke Tolbert will continue to design the red-zone plan and Randy Jordan will oversee the screen game, preserving the existing process.
  • The Titans have been outscored 94-51 in an 0-3 start and rank near the bottom of the NFL in yards and points, drawing boos and fire-the-coach chants in a 41-20 loss to the Colts.
  • Callahan, 3-17 since taking over in 2024, said the change allows him to be more present for the team as rookie QB Cam Ward heads into a road game at Houston to open a three-city trip.
