Before the Tennessee Titans could hire Bill Callahan as their next offensive line coach, the Cleveland Browns had to let him out of his contract since he was making a lateral move.
Ultimately, the Browns decided to do that. On Monday, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski explained why.
“Bill Callahan, very unique situation there, to go work for Brian not with Brian — he’s going to go work for Brian,” he said, per Myles Simmons of Pro Football Talk. “I can’t wait for Brian to boss him around. The dream of every kid is to boss your parents around. So, happy for those guys.
“I think organizationally, we realized that’s a unique situation and did not want to stand in the way of that. So, excited for, certainly, Brian and Bill down there.”
Considering how good of a coach Callahan is, letting him go isn’t an easy thing to do, so classy move by Stefanski and the Browns to do that.
No team in the NFL needed Callahan as badly as the Titans, a team that has had one of the worst offensive lines in the sport for the past three seasons.
If Tennessee can’t get this thing straightened out with Callahan at the helm, there will really be no hope.
