Why Titans head coach Brian Callahan hired his father
Brian Callahan, the first-year head coach of the Tennessee Titans, is overseeing aspects he didn’t have to think about before as an assistant. He’s managing practice schedules, strength training and his staff — which happens to include his father, Bill Callahan, as offensive line coach.
“It’s a dream come true,” Bill said. “We’re proud of Brian, as we are of all of our children, but this is really a unique and a rare situation that we’re in right now.”
Now a father and son from the same family tree — but slightly different coaching trees — are trying to get the Titans on track for success.
Their similarities and unique dynamic have led to a few misunderstandings and jokes along the way.
