The Titans have parted ways with coach Brian Callahan. As to the question of why, we outlined that pretty thoroughly two weeks ago. Callahan maintained his position after a historic meltdown by the Cardinals in Week 5, but again produced an anemic offense the following week against the bottom-tier Raiders.
That led to the Titans getting the earliest head start on this year’s head coaching market, providing new general manager Mike Borgonzi with a longer runway with which to evaluate candidates. This is a critical hire, given that the future of No. 1 pick Cam Ward, an immensely talented player who has succeeded despite a glaring lack of structure, hangs in the balance. So, too, does the Titans’ ability to attract fans and sponsors for a brand new stadium being constructed in Nashville.
