The Tennessee Titans have officially parted ways with head coach Brian Callahan after a disastrous start to the 2025 NFL season, multiple sources confirmed Monday morning. The move comes amid growing frustration within the organization following a string of poor performances and a locker room reportedly losing confidence in the team’s direction.
Callahan, who was hired earlier this year after serving as offensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals, was expected to bring a fresh offensive identity to Tennessee. However, the Titans’ offense never found its rhythm, ranking near the bottom of the league in total yards, points scored, and third-down conversions through the first several weeks.
The Titans’ struggles were highlighted by inconsistent quarterback play, an ineffective run game, and a defense that has spent far too much time on the field. Despite preseason optimism surrounding Callahan’s offensive philosophy, the results have fallen far short of expectations.
“This is a results-driven business,” a team source told reporters. “Unfortunately, things just didn’t come together the way we hoped. The organization felt it was time to make a change before the season slipped away completely.”
With Callahan’s dismissal, the Titans are expected to name an interim head coach in the coming days while beginning their search for a long-term replacement. Potential internal options include defensive coordinator Shane Bowen and assistant head coach Terrell Williams, both of whom have prior leadership experience within the franchise.
The move marks yet another chapter of instability for a Titans team that has struggled to recapture its competitive edge since its AFC South dominance earlier in the decade. The franchise is now faced with tough questions about its future direction — including its quarterback situation and overall roster rebuild strategy.
For Callahan, this abrupt end to his first head coaching stint will sting, but the 40-year-old offensive mind remains respected across the league and could find himself back in a coordinator role down the road.
As for Tennessee, the message is clear: a new era is coming — again — and the front office will be under pressure to get this next hire right.
