Ready to call plays for quarterback Will Levis is new Titans coach Brian Callahan.
Throughout his fourteen years as an NFL assistant coach, Brian Callahan has worked with some outstanding quarterbacks. Upon taking over as the Tennessee Titans’ head coach and making his first play calls, he hopes to mold second-year quarterback Will Levis into a player along the lines of Joe Burrow, Matthew Stafford, or Peyton Manning. During his opening press conference on Thursday, Callahan stated, “I’ve been extremely fortunate to be around great players, and those guys all bring something different and unique.” Taking over an offense led by Lev, isa second-round selection in the NFL Draft in 2023 “is appealing.” Will was a really good player coming out of (Kentucky), and I thought he had improved when I watched him play this year. “I saw a lot of really positive things, like some really impressive throws and competitive instincts that he put on tape,” I said.

On offense, a cooperative strategy will be used.” Along with this, Callahan claimed to have a “instant connection” with Ran Cart hon, general manager. After serving as an assistant coach in Denver, Detroit, and Oakland before moving to Cincinnati, Callahan said, “I knew that this was going to be a place that I wanted to call home. Just the connection from the get-go was incredible.” As our Monday night meeting came to an end, I was ready to make a passionate plea to Ran, but it turns out I didn’t have to. They desired me in nearly the same manner.
