NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WGNS) - The Tennessee Titans have announced the dismissal of head coach Brian Callahan, ending his short tenure with the team after a disappointing start to the 2025 season.

The decision was made official Monday morning, following a meeting between Callahan and team leadership.

Titans President of Football Operations Chad Brinker released a statement explaining the move:

“After extended conversations with our owner and general manager, we met with Brian Callahan this morning to tell him we are making a change at head coach. These decisions are never easy, and they become more difficult when they involve people of great character. We are grateful for Brian’s investment in the Titans and Tennessee community during his tenure as head coach. We thank him and his family for being exemplary ambassadors of the Tennessee Titans.”

Brinker added that while the organization remains focused on building a long-term, winning foundation, the results on the field have not met expectations.

“Our players, fans, and community deserve a football team that achieves a standard we are not currently meeting, and we are committed to making the hard decisions necessary to reach and maintain that standard,” Brinker said.

Callahan was hired as the Titans’ head coach in January 2024. Under his leadership, the team finished 3–14 last season and has started the current campaign 1–5.

The Titans will look to regroup as they return to Nissan Stadium on Sunday to face the New England Patriots.
