The Tennessee Titans on Monday fired head coach Brian Callahan, who had a 4-19 record over two seasons in Nashville.
"After extended conversations with our owner and general manager, we met with Brian Callahan this morning to tell him we are making a change at head coach," Titans president of football operations Chad Brinker said in a statement. "These decisions are never easy, and they become more difficult when they involve people of great character. We are grateful for Brian's investment in the Titans and Tennessee community during his tenure as head coach. We thank him and his family for being exemplary ambassadors of the Tennessee Titans.
"While we are committed to a patient and strategic plan to build a sustainable, winning football program, we have not demonstrated sufficient growth. Our players, fans, and community deserve a football team that achieves a standard we are not currently meeting, and we are committed to making the hard decisions necessary to reach and maintain that standard."
The Titans went 3-14 in 2024, earning them the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, which was used to select Miami quarterback Cam Ward. Ward started all six of the Titans' games this season – Tennessee went 1-5 in those – and completed 111 of 202 passes (55 percent) for 1,101 yards with three touchdowns, four interceptions and a league-high 25 sacks.
Callahan's Titans lost to the Colts, 41-20, in Week 3.
The Colts will host the Titans – and whoever their interim head coach may be – in Week 8 at Lucas Oil Stadium.
