The Tennessee Titans fired head coach Brian Callahan on October 13, 2025, after a 1–5 start to his second season and a 4–19 overall record since his January 2024 hire. Team president of football operations Chad Brinker announced the decision after consultations with controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk and general manager Mike Borgonzi, citing a lack of progress despite a rebuilding plan centered on No. 1 overall pick quarterback Cam Ward. Tennessee’s offense was among the league’s worst through six games, producing 83 points and just 3.94 yards per play, according to team and Associated Press accounts. AP notes Callahan is the first NFL head coach dismissed during the 2025 season.
Senior offensive assistant Mike McCoy was appointed interim head coach; the former San Diego Chargers head coach brings prior experience and will be given “every opportunity” to compete for the permanent job, per team leadership’s remarks reported Monday evening. The move follows a 20–10 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders and continued turnover issues for the rookie-led offense. The club previously shifted play-calling off Callahan in September, but the changes did not yield sustained improvement.
