The Titans are finalizing a deal to hire Callahan after the Bengals OC completed his second interview with Tennessee on Tuesday.
Callahan replaces Mike Vrabel, who was fired after six seasons by owner Amy Adams Strunk.
Since 2019, Callahan has served as the Bengals offensive coordinator. In five seasons, Callahan helped develop Joe Burrow into one of the game’s best quarterbacks. During Callahan’s tenure, the Bengals reached one Super Bowl in 2021, played in two AFC Championship games, and won two AFC North division championships.
