One of the biggest questions concerning the Tennessee Titans as they headed into the offseason was whether or not head coach Brian Callahan would continue to call plays in 2025.
This has now been answered and it appears that no changes will be made.
#Titans‘ Callahan has said he’ll continue to call team’s offensive plays in 2025.
Right or wrong choice?
Here’s what a comparative look around the NFL shows:https://t.co/DDi17E1hkD@NashvillePost— John Glennon (@glennonsports) January 31, 2025
Was this the right decision by Callahan? As a first-time play caller, his 2024 performance left a lot to be desired. The Titans offense was bad, finishing near the bottom of the league in major categories including 27th in points scored and 26th in total offense. More than a statistical struggle, the offense often looked stagnant or unable to maintain momentum when things were working.
Of course, a porous offensive line (especially at right tackle) and uneven quarterback play did hamper the development and growth of the unit, but that does not totally absolve Callahan or give him a pass. He’s the head coach, and he is the one that puts the players on the field.
Plus, as history shows, being both head coach and play caller does not always lead to success. For every successful Andy Reid, there is an Arthur Smith who struggled to do both. This is also complicated by Callahan’s lack of experience in either role.
Time will tell if Callahan made the right choice, and this decision will likely have a major impact on his future. If he is successful and turns the offense around, great. If he doesn’t, he might not have a third season in Nashville.
