Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan's first season has been marked by challenges. Despite a late-game comeback against the Indianapolis Colts, the Titans' overall performance raises questions about Callahan's future.
Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan is in his first year with the franchise, but his future may be uncertain due to the team's lack of success. The Titans allowed 38 unanswered points in less than two quarters against the Indianapolis Colts in their Week 16 loss. However, they responded with 23 points in the second half. ESPN insider Turron Davenport believes the team's effort in the second half could help Callahan's case to return as head coach next season.
'The Titans scored on their second drive but got outscored 38-0 until Tyjae Spears' touchdown run with 3:02 left in the third quarter,' Davenport said. 'Rather than lay down, Callahan's team fought back to within one score. The overall performance is unacceptable. But the way the Titans kept pushing forward shows they haven't quit on Callahan.' The Titans will have to continue to build Callahan's case over the final two weeks, but the frustrations of the season may lead to him being scapegoated. Callahan has to prove in the final two games that he is capable of leading a team and that he is the right person for the job. If he can't do that, he could be back on the offensive coordinator circuit next season with another team. The Titans will return to the field on Sunday as they take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in Duval County for an AFC South rivalry game. Kickoff is scheduled for 12 noon CT. The game can be watched on CBS or streamed on Paramount+.
