The Tennessee Titans have dismissed head coach Brian Callahan following a disappointing 1-5 start to the 2025 NFL season. Mike McCoy, the team's senior offensive assistant and former head coach of the San Diego Chargers, has been appointed as the interim head coach.
Callahan, who was hired in January 2024 after a successful tenure as the Cincinnati Bengals' offensive coordinator, ends his time in Tennessee with a 4-19 record. President of football operations Chad Brinker cited the team's failure to show sufficient growth as the reason for the change.
The Titans' restructuring began in late 2024 with the dismissal of general manager Ran Carthon and head coach Mike Vrabel. The current front office includes new general manager Mike Borgonzi.
McCoy brings extensive NFL experience, including head coaching and coordinator roles. His appointment follows a 20-10 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, after which players, including rookie quarterback Cam Ward and defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons, criticized the team’s poor performance and preparation.
Additionally, Bill Callahan, Brian’s father and the team’s offensive line coach, is reportedly leaving the organization. The Titans will face Vrabel’s new team, the New England Patriots, in their next game.
