Tennessee Titans - English
Cam Ward has reason to feel optimistic following the Tennessee Titans‘ decision to fire head coach Brian Callahan on Monday, October 13 – a move that comes after just six games, signaling the organization’s urgency to correct course with their rookie quarterback.
Callahan never appeared to be the right fit to maximize Ward‘s abilities and the Titans‘ management concluded after Sunday’s loss to the Las Vegas Raiders that a change at the helm was necessary.
Titans Fire Brian Callahan as the recent rookie quarterback curse continues
Not only to try to save their season from total embarrassment with a 1-5 record, but to help their young signal-caller develop and lead the offense effectively as reports indicate Tennessee acted without a clear successor in mind, focusing first on removing Callahan.
The priority now is to identify a head coach with a strong offensive background capable of guiding Ward, a raw rookie who was the overall first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, toward consistent growth and production.
The youngster entered the NFL out of the Miami Hurricanes‘ program in the NCAA, bringing excitement with his abilities as a passer after producing 18,137 yards and 158 touchdowns in college.
But despite some flashes of brilliance, he has struggled to maintain offensive consistency, which has contributed to the Titans‘ underwhelming start to the season as he has tossed four interceptions versus three TDs.
Titans look for a coach who can unleash Cam Ward’s big-play potential
A 55% pass completion rate from 202 attempts has yielded just 1,101 yards, whilst he has been sacked 25 times due to a vulnerable offensive line (4.16 per game) – and he isn’t compensating on the ground with just 36 rushing yards and no scores.
The next head coach must improve Ward‘s efficiency and help him execute routine plays while maintaining his confidence to push the ball downfield. One key concern for Tennessee is hiring a coach who doesn’t overly restrict Ward.
The rookie thrives when empowered to make aggressive throws, so a conservative approach could limit his big-play potential – but finding the right balance will be crucial to warding off turnovers and maximizing impact.
Ward‘s ability to produce explosive plays is one of his most valuable traits, so the Titans need a coach who can structure the offense around allowing Cam to take calculated risks while minimizing errors and guiding him through NFL defenses.
Who do the Titans play next? Date and time for first Tennessee game without Callahan
The Tennessee Titans will face the New England Patriots on Sunday, October 19, 2025, at 12:00 PM CDT (10:00 AM PDT) at Nissan Stadium in Nashville.
This marks the first game for the team following the dismissal of Callahan, with Mike McCoy, the team’s senior offensive assistant, being named interim head coach.
The Titans are seeking to rebound from their 1-5 start to the season and are looking to revitalize their offense under new leadership.

Bottom 25 college football rankings: Wisconsin, Purdue enter while resurgent UCLA miraculously escapes
The chances of UCLA ever escaping the Bottom 25 this season looked bleak during an 0-4 start that included a pair of losses to Mountain West teams before the firing of coach DeShaun Foster. In fact, 0-12 seemed like a distinct possibility as the hapless Bruins prepared to host Penn State in Week 6.But since Tim Skipper took over as the interim coach, the Bruins have been on rocket fuel. A win over the Nittany Lions and a 38-13 win at Michigan State in Week 7 boosted UCLA out of the Bottom 25 with room to spare. For a team that was ranked all the way down at No. 4 in the premier metric of college football futility on Sept. 30, that's quite an accomplishment.Beating Penn State and then obliterating the Spartans effectively turned the Bruins from a bottom-feeder into […]
Alvin Kamara to Chiefs? New WR for Giants’ Jaxson Dart? 10 NFL trades that should happen before 2025 deadline
Six weeks of the 2025 NFL season are now in the books, which means we're more than 30% through the entire regular season slate. We're also one step closer to this year's in-season trade deadline, the official cutoff for any trades until the 2026 offseason.All 32 teams still have until 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Nov. 4, to strike deals involving players or future draft picks. And there are plenty of names already rumored to be part of potential discussions, including veteran quarterbacks like Kirk Cousins and Russell Wilson. Some organizations are surely eager to add last-gasp upgrades. Others might be contemplating selling off talent to rebuild. No matter what, there are indications this October and November will be rife with activity.In the meantime, we decided to assess the entire NFL landscape and propose a couple deals of our own. […]
