Part 3/8:
The team’s offensive struggles were a significant factor in this decision. The Titans' offense has struggled considerably throughout Callahan's tenure, with recent game performances, especially against the Las Vegas Raiders, adding to the pressure. The loss followed a comeback victory in Arizona under unusual circumstances, which raised hopes that the team might turn a corner, but those expectations were dashed by subsequent underperformance.
Sources suggest that Callahan was not in favor of the offensive play-calling decisions, which were taken away from him at times—a move that often signals internal frustration and leadership challenges. Such issues, coupled with a record of 4-19 over roughly one and a half seasons, created an environment where a coaching change was deemed necessary.
