With three wins in 20 games, it’s time for ownership to admit the mistake and move on
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans’ season is spiraling into a full-blown dumpster fire — and Brian Callahan is burning at its center. One year into his tenure, the head coach has proved less a reboot and more a regression. The time has come for ownership to cut bait and fire the fraud masquerading as a leader.
Callahan’s record with the Titans sits at a dire 3-17 entering 2025. The team limped through a 3-14 season in 2024, raising hopes of a reset. Instead, the Titans have opened 0-3 this fall, and Callahan has already ceded play-calling duties to quarterbacks coach Bo Hardegree. That’s not a sign of humility — it’s the surrender of authority.
This is not the offensive guru Titans fans were promised. Callahan arrived from Cincinnati with a reputation as a rising mind. What Nashville has seen is a head coach who talks the talk but can’t manage the walk. The Titans rank near the bottom in scoring, last in total offense, and worse yet, look rudderless.
His inability to handle basic situational football is on display weekly. In the 41-20 loss to the Colts, he botched a fourth-down sequence by dithering, then allowed a delay-of-game penalty that turned a makeable field goal into a desperate 62-yard attempt that was blocked. That was not bad luck. That was poor preparation.
Worse, Callahan admitted he didn’t understand a replay rule earlier this season, declining to challenge a clear catch because he claimed he misinterpreted the standard. Head coaches don’t get the luxury of ignorance. That’s a fundamental responsibility.
Fans see it. They chanted “Fire Callahan” at Nissan Stadium during the Colts game. He brushed it off, saying it didn’t faze him. It should. Those voices echo the frustration of a fan base that has endured back-to-back embarrassment.
The problems are obvious:
— Play-calling failure. Callahan can’t run his own offense. Handing off that role three weeks into a season is an admission of defeat.
— Situational incompetence. His mismanagement of timeouts, downs and challenges is routine.
— Record and trajectory. Three wins in 20 games is unacceptable in any NFL market.
— Lack of accountability. Instead of owning mistakes, he deflects and talks of “evaluating” later.
Yes, the roster is flawed. Injuries and inconsistency have plagued this team for years. But a good coach stabilizes dysfunction. Callahan magnifies it.
There’s always risk in making a change midseason. But the alternative — waiting for another collapse — offers no payoff. A fresh voice could reset the locker room, demand discipline and salvage what little remains of 2025.
The Titans’ ownership must act decisively. Callahan is no savior. He is the arsonist standing in the ashes of the Titans’ offense. The only path forward is to fire him now and begin the real rebuild.
