Brian Callahan lost his job as the Tennessee Titansā head coach on Monday, following a 20-10 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. The Titans looked lifeless against the Raiders, who had just one win prior to their Sunday meeting.
Callahan was on the receiving end of criticism due to the lack of progress the team showed during his tenure. He left with a 4-19 record since taking over from Mike Vrabel in 2024.
Vrabel himself revealed that he reached out to Callahan after the Titans fired him. The New England Patriots coach went through the same experience last year, and he wanted to have a nice gesture with his successor.

Speaking with reporters, Vrabel, who coached the Titans from 2018 through 2023, admitted he contacted Callahan to show support.

āOf course, I did,ā Vrabel said. āI mean, you donāt wanna see anybody that shares a job with you let go. Thatās a tough feeling. With family and school, whether itās in college or pro, weāre in the media every single day. Thereās a human element to this that I donāt wanna forget. I just remember all those coaches or people that reached out after I was let go. And I think thatās important, because nobody texts you when you lose, they all text you when you win.ā
Vrabel will clash against the Titans on Sunday, trying to improve to 5-2 and continue to lead the AFC East division. This time, however, he wonāt meet Callahan on the other side of the gridiron.
