On Monday, the team fired Callahan from his role, per Ian Rapoport, following a 1-5 stretch to open 2025. The Titans also struggled their way through the 2024 season, regularly being blown out before landing the No. 1 overall pick and selecting quarterback Cam Ward.
Tennessee, which is led by a newer general manager in Mike Borgonzi, is opting to change leadership yet again with Callahan's firing.

Why did the Titans fire Brian Callahan?
Tennessee is off to a 1-5 start this season, with its only win coming against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 5. That was a 22-21 comeback that was partially due to a significant blunder by Cardinals running back Emari Demercado — otherwise, the Titans haven't been able to piece together any momentum despite Ward taking over at quarterback.
Not only was Callahan a hire by the Titans' old administration, led by former GM Ran Carthon, but the team found little to nothing to build off in his stint. Tennessee went 3-14 last season after Callahan was hired in January 2024, which led to their new No. 1 pick in Ward.
Not much has improved for the Titans' future outlook so far 2025. With the move, Borgonzi will be aiming to give a new coach the opportunity to lead Ward in the new era, finding potential building blocks in what appears to be one of the NFL's current rebuilding situations.
In Week 6, the Titans lost 20-10 to the Las Vegas Raiders. That was the final blow for Callahan, who lost his head coaching role after a total of just 23 games.
