Titans Part Ways with Head Coach Brian Callahan
The Tennessee Titans have made a change at the top, firing head coach Brian Callahan after a disappointing 1-5 start to the 2025 season. Callahan, who took over the team in 2024, struggled to replicate the success of his predecessor Mike Vrabel, managing just four wins in 23 games.
"It was time for a change," said Titans interim head coach Mike McCoy. "We have high expectations for this team, and the results simply haven't been there. Our focus now is on getting the ship righted and putting our players in the best position to succeed."
Vrabel Returns to Nashville with Resurgent Patriots
Adding to the intrigue surrounding the Titans is the return of former head coach Mike Vrabel, who now leads the resurgent New England Patriots. Vrabel, who coached the Titans from 2018 to 2023, is eager to face his former team.
"I know our relationship off the field, but I could give two [expletives]," said Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons. "This is about winning football games, not rehashing the past."
Titans Veterans Reflect on Vrabel's Tenure
Despite the frosty sentiment, several Titans veterans shared fond memories of Vrabel's time in Nashville. Linebacker Wesley Woodyard recalled Vrabel's unique motivational tactics, including one memorable quote: "Goodwill got a haul" after the coach's departure.
"Mike always had a way of keeping us on our toes," Woodyard said. "He pushed us to be better, and that's what we're going to need to do if we want to turn this season around."
