NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans finalized their football structure Wednesday. The team announced Ran Carthon has been promoted to executive vice president/general manager, Chad Brinker has been promoted to president of football operations, and Brian Callahan has been hired to be its head coach.
Callahan comes to the Titans after spending the past five seasons as the Cincinnati Bengals' offensive coordinator. «This is an exciting time for our franchise, and we're thrilled to have Brian as our head coach,» Titans controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk said. «We went through a thorough candidate search and Brian stood out as the best person to lead our football team.
I want to thank the other candidates who were part of this process and wish them well moving forward.» Tennessee was in search of someone to further develop second-year quarterback Will Levis.
Callahan's extensive history working with quarterbacks was one of the reasons the Titans made him their choice. Callahan's résumé includes his work with Peyton Manning as an offensive assistant during the Denver Broncos' Super Bowl-winning season in 2015.
