Callahan becomes the first head coach to lose his job in 2025, which is hardly a surprise. Though he is in only his second season with the Titans, the team is 1-5 and coming off a 20-10 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 6.
Callahan finishes with a record of 4-19 in one-plus season in Tennessee. The former Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator went 3-14 in his first season, which led to the Titans landing the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft. They used that selection on quarterback Cam Ward.
Ward has been slow to develop under Callahan, which likely factored into the Titans’ decision. The former Miami star has a passer rating of 67.3 through his first six career starts with 3 touchdown passes and 4 interceptions.
Callahan threw Ward under the bus following Sunday’s loss, so the coach may have known he was about to lose his job.
The Titans are preparing to host the New England Patriots and their former head coach, Mike Vrabel, in Week 7. Callahan was hired by Tennessee after Vrabel was fired, and many questioned whether that was the right decision.
