"While we are committed to a patient and strategic plan to build a sustainable, winning football program, we have not demonstrated sufficient growth, Brinker said in a statement. 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."
"Callahan went 4-19, which featured a 10-game skid. The former backup quarterback for national power De La Salle, Callahan's father is former Oakland Raiders head coach Bill Callahan, the Titans' offensive line coach. He becomes just the second coach fired during the season by this franchise since relocating to Tennessee in 1997, joining Ken Whisenhunt. Whisenhunt had a 3-20 record when fired in November 2015, with a stint that also included a 10-game skid to end the 2014 season."
Tennessee Titans fired Brian Callahan after a 1-5 start to his second season. Team officials consulted controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk and general manager Mike Borgonzi before informing Callahan of the decision. The club has scored only 83 points and is averaging 3.94 yards per play. Callahan's overall record with the team was 4-19, including a 10-game losing skid. Callahan handed off play-calling duties after an 0-3 start, but the offensive struggles continued. Callahan becomes the second midseason firing for the franchise since relocating in 1997, joining Ken Whisenhunt. The Titans host the New England Patriots this Sunday; an interim coach was not immediately named.
