The Tennessee Titans made a shocking move Monday as they have decided to fire head coach Brian Callahan after a 1-5 start.
The team released a statement via its website explaining why they removed Callahan from his duties.
"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. 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 the 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."
Rookie quarterback Cam Ward received a lot of attention when he called out his team recently for their bad play, and now the ownership apparently agrees with him and has decided the problem wasn't with the players but with the head coach.
