Locked On Titans - Daily Podcast On The Tennessee Titans - Brian Callahan SABOTAGES Tennessee Titans v Denver Broncos & Cam Ward Shines Amid Disaster Coaching

Episode Date: September 8, 2025

The Tennessee Titans LOST to the Denver Broncos despite a tremendous showing by the defense and Cam Ward looking like he belongs, mostly because Brian Callahan absolutely blew the game. Penalties, pla...y calls and mismanagement doomed the Titans and it all falls on the feet of Callahan, who again, looked completely lost as a coach. Cam Ward didn't look good in the box score, but considering the support he was getting, it is hard to not be impressed by what Ward was able to pull off. He wasn't alone though as the special teams and defense played fantastic. However, there was a lot of bad outside of Callahan. Calvin Ridley, Jarvis Brownlee Jr. and Dan Moore all did nothing to help the team.  Subscribe to the TicTacTitans Film Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@TicTacTitans TicTacTitans Merchandise: https://dixons-dream.square.site/shop/tictactitans-gear/C3AAPNWXSXA6SBYG3USV2I7R?page=1&limit=30&sort_by=category_order&sort_order=asc Follow Tyler on Twitter @TicTacTitans Follow the show on Facebook @LockedOnTitansPod Subscribe to the Locked On Titans YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/c/LockedOnTitans/videos Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!5-Hour ENERGYTee up that trip!

Starting point is 00:00:00 Brian Callahan 100% sabotaged the Tennessee Titans in week one, proving once again he is not an NFL head coach. And I'm going to break it down on today's edition of Locked On Titans. You are Locked on Titans, your daily Tennessee Titans podcast, part of the Locked On Podcast Network, your team every day. Welcome to the Locked-on Titans podcast. I am your host, Tyler Rowland Titans fans. Today's edition of the Locked-on Titans podcast is brought to you by Game Time.

Brian Callahan is 100% at fault for the Tennessee Titans loss against the Denver Broncos. They lose 20 to 12, and quite frankly, it would not have mattered what the Denver Broncos did in this game because Brian Callahan is a first-class bozo. Over and over and over again, this man proves he is not an NFL-level head coach. I've said it throughout the all-season. I've talked about how much the microscope, the lens, needs to be on Brian Callahan,
Starting point is 00:01:23 and nobody wanted to listen to it. Brian Callahan absolutely destroyed. and sabotaged any chance that the Tennessee Titans had to win this game. Now, before we get into the long list of disaster decisions by Brian Callahan, do want to thank you for making Locked-on Titans your first listen each and every day.

Starting point is 00:01:53 Speaking of every day, shout out to my everydayers out there. Tune in Monday through Friday. If you aren't an everydayer, you need to be one. The season has kicked off. We got so much to talk about again. I am your host, Tyler Rowland. 25 years is a Tennessee Titans fanatic. Cover the team for USA Today, Sports Illustrated, and hosted the number one Tennessee Titans podcast,
Starting point is 00:02:14 Locked on Titans for now seven seasons. All right, I am so angry. I am so angry in my bones. Not that the Tennessee Titans lost. Not that the Tennessee Titans lost. I told you guys, I thought that they were going to lose. And this is crazy how it happens all the time. I tell myself, I think the Titans are going to lose this game.
Starting point is 00:02:37 I'm not going to get mad that they lost this game. I'm not going to get mad that they... And then they find a way to lose the game in the dumbest fashion possible. And literally, literally, I might have a heart attack on stream. I am so pissed off at Brian Callahan. The Titans should have won this game. If you take 50 other NFL head coaches currently hired that have been fired in the last years, if you take 50 other NFL coaches, the Tennessee Titans win this game.
Starting point is 00:03:08 Bozo Nix tried to give the game away. The Broncos were awful in this game. Awful. Like, let's go through the list. All we can do is go through the list. All right, let's do it. Number one, the Titans come out of the gate, and what did I say all week that they couldn't do? You can't do slow developing runs the Broncos are one of the heaviest blitz teams on run downs in the NFL and he comes out with two gap runs that take forever to develop and guess what happens? They get smoked and then it's 3rd and 10
Starting point is 00:03:43 You're across your own 50 yard line and you run the ball you do a surrender run on 3rd and 10 across your own 50 and surrender a field goal. You know what would have helped the Titan? a touchdown, despicable, cowardice from Brian Callahan to come out and start the game, period. And then, and then the play setups. These guys don't know what they're doing on offense. They have no clue. The Titans ran a handoff to Tony Pollard, and nobody took the handoff. And Cam was just like, I guess I got to run it then. The Titans, I have never seen this in my life.
Starting point is 00:04:20 I have never in my life watching an NFL game, seen a team run a wide receiver screen and nobody tried to catch the ball. Everyone blocked three people, Chigacanquo, Calvin Ridley, whoever else was the wide receiver. They all blocked. Not a single person on the wide receiver screen turned around and said, Cam, throw me the ball. They don't know what they're doing. How many times did the Titans almost get a delay a game or actually get a delay a game?
Starting point is 00:04:46 Because they could not get lined up. That's coaching. The team is unprepared. They have no idea what they're doing out there And then, and let's just stay with the individual things We get into the red zone We get into the red zone And do you guys remember the Detroit Lions game last year?
Starting point is 00:05:03 Do you remember the Detroit Lions game last year Where the Titans ran the same damn pick play Over and over and over four straight downs And got a turnover on downs on the goal line Because they ran the same rollout pick play Over and over against the Lions And Callahan gets one opportunity at the goal line And what does he do?
Starting point is 00:05:22 The same pick play that has never worked for you in your entire head coaching career. What are you doing? Holy cow. Holy cow. All right. Not only did he run the pick play, he rolled Cam Ward out so that Cam Ward,
Starting point is 00:05:38 a natural creator and playmaker only has half of a field to work with. Bozo! Clown car. Pathetic! This is a disgrace. And then we get to what might be what might be the most damning thing
Starting point is 00:05:53 that happened to Brian Callahan throughout the game right before halftime the Titans are on their own one yard line their own one yard line out of all the times in the world for Bozo Callahan to run run pass or run run run you're on your own one yard line
Starting point is 00:06:12 what are you doing there's a minute left until halftime what are you doing he throws the ball three times in a row almost takes a safety and the Broncos don't have to use any of their timeouts they give the ball right back to the Broncos
Starting point is 00:06:30 punting out of the shadow of their own goalpost and the Broncos hit the only freaking touchdown that they had in the first half Brian Callahan gave them seven points on a platter and didn't even make them use their timeouts that was you think that I am critical even the broadcast team even the announcement
Starting point is 00:06:49 are like what is this guy doing I saw Nick Wright from Fox Sports say that what Brian Callahan did before halftime is more negligible and more insane than anything that Will Levis did last year and I agree with him pathetic irresponsible malpractice coaching that gifted the Broncos seven points and you didn't even charge them a few timeouts of all the times the only drive in the game where he went past, pass, pass. Other than the very last drive. No, he started with a run play on that one too. There's two minutes left.
Starting point is 00:07:28 They're down by eight and he runs the ball. But they're on the one yard line before halftime and just need to salt it out and take it to halftime. And he goes, pass, pass, pass and gives the Broncos an easy field. I mean, it is like, I have never been this animated on the show other than when the Titans lost to the Bengals
Starting point is 00:07:45 in the playoffs. And we just spent six minutes going through every despicable, insane, unacceptable mistake that Brian Callahan made. We didn't even talk about the second half yet. We haven't even talked about the big picture problems yet. Titans get an interception to start the second half. He goes, run, run, punt. Thanks, Brian.
Starting point is 00:08:12 How inspired. Way to take advantage of the turnovers. And we'll get there. Then the busted run that I mentioned earlier by Tony. Pollard. Two penalties after that, and the drive is dead. More penalties. And then the Broncos muff a freaking punt and put the Titans within the 30 yard range. Run, sack, sack. And I saw people out there. People who cover the team for money say, oh, bad job by Cam Ward there. He can't do that. Did you see the routes? If Cam Ward is in the pocket and Brian Callahan is running
Starting point is 00:08:47 vertical routes. How is Cam Ward supposed to get the ball, get the ball out of his hands quickly? There aren't any quick routes. And the Titans ran heavy protections. So there aren't any people in the flat or any checkdowns or dumpoffs. That's a bad play call. You can't run only vertical routes. It was third and eight. It was, or no, it was like third and 18 or something like that. And if the Titans just get five or six yards, they're in field goal range. But instead, Callahan calls vertical routes and Cammore gets sacked and they lose 27 yards on the drive after a muff punt puts them basically in the red zone. Malpractice.
Starting point is 00:09:31 I have never in my life since the Detroit Lions game last year, I have never in my life seen such a poorly coached football game. I have never in my life seen an NFL head coach give away the game for his football team the way Brian Callahan did. I've never seen it I watched a high school football game on Friday night I do the PA announcing both of those coaches would have not hurt the Titans as bad as Brian Callahan did today
Starting point is 00:09:57 he didn't just not help them he destroyed them he sabotaged them so those are the big picture things right those are not the big picture those are all the little details where Brian Callahan absolutely sabotaged this football team now let's go to the big picture stuff
Starting point is 00:10:14 you guys want to look at some stuff What does this remind you of? Six sacks. Six sacks. The Titans win the turnover battle 4 to 2 and really 4 to 1. Cam Ward fumbled at the very end after he got sacked again
Starting point is 00:10:29 trying to make something happen on the last play of the game. Really, the Titans won the turnover battle 4 to 1. And then penalties. 13 penalties for 131 yards. The Tennessee Titans' offense had 133. the Titans had as many penalty yards as they had offensive yards I like
Starting point is 00:10:55 I said it in my short video I said it in my short video but we need to call the DEA we need to call the FBI somebody dig up Walter Cronkite somebody called Pablo Torre finds out we need to have an investigation into Brian Callahan
Starting point is 00:11:12 because there is no way that he is such a moron to do what he did out there today. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. I just, I'm beside myself. And I saw another beat reporter say, well, I thought the Titans were going to lose, but this brings up fresh concerns. Brian Callahan is a fresh concern. Brian Callahan should have been the number one concern.
Starting point is 00:11:38 The number one concern all all season. I said, spotlights on Brian Callahan. He's the biggest X factor, microscope on Brian Callahan. My background thing on YouTube with the rundown on the right hand side or whatever, it literally said Callahan's big test. Would Brian Callahan have this team ready to play? Would Brian Callahan be able to correct some of the bad coaching that he had from last year? The answer is a resounding no.
Starting point is 00:12:07 So it may be week one. And I know all of you copers out there are going to say, Tyler, it's just week one. It's just week one. No, it's not. It's week 19. It's week 19 for Brian Callahan.
Starting point is 00:12:21 This ain't new. He ain't a rookie. This is the same guy that lost the Titans multiple games last year. And yeah, Will Levis is to blame. But I'm looking at Brian Callahan right now
Starting point is 00:12:35 and saying, well, Will Levis sure looked a hell of a lot better with Mike Vrable. So maybe I'm not saying Will Levis is good. but maybe we'll let us look like such crap
Starting point is 00:12:48 because Brian Callahan is a first-class bozo. Period. So, I gotta stop sweating. I gotta calm down. I'm so angry. I know you guys are too. Let's take a deep breath and let's talk about what was good in this game.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Tighten up, tighten down. And Cam Ward, poor Cam Ward. Poor Cam Ward. The entire team. Well, not the defense and special teams, maybe. But on offense, whether it's coaching or the supporting cast, the entire team let down Cam Ward. And he played, don't let the people lie to you.
Starting point is 00:13:24 Cam Ward played great. Do you want to let you guys know that today's episode is brought to you by prize picks.

I am your host Tyler Rowland we talked about Brian Callahan absolutely sabotaging his team and I'm calling for some sort of investigation we have to get some sort of some sort of organization on the case here I mean I'm joking but like am I joking I don't know either
Starting point is 00:16:02 way it's time for tighten up tighten down we got to talk about the players who actually played well and that starts with Cam Ward look the stats look terrible. 112 passing yards. Zero touchdowns. 12 for 28. Sacked six times. Had the turnover at the end,
Starting point is 00:16:28 which is nonsense. You know what I mean? Like, it's nonsense. But did you see how Cam Ward was dotting the ball? Literally dotting the ball to his wide receivers. The perfect pass down the sideline.
Starting point is 00:16:45 Oh, I didn't even mention that in the Brian Callahan stuff. Elyle Coyle Manor caught the football and his elbow hit on the ground. One elbow is two feet. Brian Callahan didn't challenge. Third and 18. Cam Ward throws a dot down the sideline to Elicoio Manor and Brian Callahan doesn't challenge the frickin' play.
Starting point is 00:17:05 And then the Titans punt. Bozo. Absolute bozo. But again, what a throw by Cam Ward. Cam Ward hits Calvin Ridley How many times he got to throw the ball to Calvin Ridley Before Calvin Ridley catches it Calvin Really is your top five receiver
Starting point is 00:17:18 Cam, you better stop lying for these boys If they aren't going to help you Unbelievable The amount of drops That happened to Cam Ward today Unbelievable And then You add in
Starting point is 00:17:35 Cam Ward sat six times Six times So look people are going to say what they want about cam you guys know how it's going to go the national media is going to say he didn't play well But we know what really happened We know what really happened and when we go through the tape tomorrow on the tic-tac titans film channel We're gonna look at how well Pam played. He was composed. He was poised He never say die. He would float away. He would make things happen Remember that scramble that he had that got called back because Dan Moore holding.
Starting point is 00:18:18 Cam looked great in this game. And this goes back to, remember my video where I said I have Cam Ward concerns. Not concerns about Cam Ward, but concerns for Cam Ward. Because I knew Brian Callahan's a bozo. Dan Moore is not worth the money that they paid him. The wide receiver group is not very good. eye concerns for Cam Ward and look what happened
Starting point is 00:18:44 the entire offense let Cam Ward down like it's crazy it's crazy man the quarterback play improved Cam Ward played almost a better game today
Starting point is 00:19:03 than we saw almost all last year and it's still wasn't even close. They lost by eight. They weren't even close. Because everything else on the offensive side of the ball was not good enough. But Cam Ward was. That's the thing. I said right after the game, the Titans need a wide receiver one, they need a new left tackle, they need an edge rusher, and they need a new head coach. But you know what the Titans don't need anymore? A quarterback, because we got one, folks. We got one in Cam Ward.
Starting point is 00:19:39 period period so I already know what the narratives are going to be I already know how people are going to talk the dumbest person you know is going to say that Cam Ward played bad in this game he did not
Starting point is 00:19:54 do not listen do not listen to that period point blank no questions now listen Cam Ward wasn't the only person Cam Ward was far from the only person who had a good game Jeffrey Simmons was insane in this game
Starting point is 00:20:11 Jeffrey Simmons was absolutely unstoppable basically the entire game he wrecked the Broncos offensive line one of the best offensive lines in the NFL he had four sacks he had four quarterback hits he had a strip sack fumble Jeffrey Simmons was absolutely incredible worth every single cent
Starting point is 00:20:32 and I've been asking for that all all season I have been saying Big Jeff Need you to look like you're worth the money Big Jeff Need you to get more than five and a half sacks Big Jeff Need you to make special plays
Starting point is 00:20:48 And be that all pro player That you were in 2021 and 2022 That's exactly who we saw out there today Exactly who we saw out there today Not only that But Roger McCreary Awesome in this game Awesome gets the interception
Starting point is 00:21:04 When did you see somebody getting a catch on Roger? Maybe once, twice. Great high point catch on Cortland Sutton who's way bigger than him to get the interception. Roger McCreary once again, awesome. As always, solid and awesome. Not only that, but Femiola Dejo. Y'all wanted to write him off
Starting point is 00:21:28 as he developed in the preseason. Do you see Femi out there? Multiple pressures. Multiple pressures, created multiple throwaways for Bo Nix. Not only that, but did you see Femiola-Dazio coaching the defensive line? I remember specifically the Broncos ran a run play to Femiola-Degio, and he screamed at the defensive line and said, shift over. Shift over.
Starting point is 00:21:57 And the D-line shifted over, and they ran right to it, and they got a perfect stop with Femi at the heart of it. Femiola Dejo played great in this game. I mean, was he Miles Garrett? Was he Trey Hendrickson? No. But all of you guys said Femi's a bust. What a terrible pick. They should have picked Mike Green.
Starting point is 00:22:15 He played great in this game. He wasn't the reason they lost. He didn't kill him. He got pressure. He did his job. Femiola Dejo did everything that you could have asked to him for where he's supposed to be at in his development. So I thought Femi was great.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Tavondres sweat makes the big time. I'm so angry at Brian Callahan. Tavondre Sweat. Big time play. Fourth down stop. Gives the Titans the ball back at the freaking half-yard line with a chance to go tie it. And I think that's when Brian Callahan went, uh, run, sack, sack.
Starting point is 00:22:53 Like, I just... Anyway, Big Jeff, Sebastian Joseph Day, Tavondre Sweat, Femiola Dazio, Roger McCreary all played really good in this game. Now, I want to go to special teams as well because the Tennessee Titans special teams was actually a major benefit most of the time.
Starting point is 00:23:21 Chim, D.K. No wonder they cut James Prochet and went with D.K. He had one punt return for 12 yards, didn't drop the ball, good return, awesome. He had four kickoff return. for 144 yards, that's 36 yards per kickoff return with a 71 yarder. And let's just say this, that 71 yard return saved Brian Callahan's butt after that disaster class of an end-to-half-time management. If Jim D.K. doesn't run back that kick return right before halftime for 71 yards and give the Titans an extra field goal,
Starting point is 00:23:57 we're talking about 20 to 9, which is what it should have been. So, Jim D.K. was incredibly impressive. We got one, folks. The way they used him as a gadget player on offense, handed the ball off to him, the way he was able to return. We got a returner in Chim D.K. now. We got one. So, there are some major positives coming out of this game.
Starting point is 00:24:23 The Titans players, the Titans roster, does look improved. The Titans players and roster looked like, hey, this team did get a little better over the all season, which is what we wanted. So, there are my tighten-ups. If you guys felt I missed any tighten-ups, let me know down below. But now, we've got to talk about the Titan Downs.

Starting point is 00:26:18 Titans fans. Let's continue today's edition of the Locked on Titans podcast, breaking down the Tennessee Titans opening season loss to the Denver Broncos. They lose 20 to 12. It's time for tighten down We talked about Brian Callahan's sabotage attempt That was successful to start the show We talked about the good stuff in the game
Starting point is 00:26:39 Don't tell me I'm all negative I talked about all the players that I was impressed by in the game But now we've got to do tighten down And if you guys don't know Tighten up is the winners Tightened down my biggest losers Obviously Brian Callahan is the number one Titan down for me
Starting point is 00:26:55 But as I did earlier I went through the list The penalties, 13 for 131, basically the same amount of yards as the offense. The turnover battle, the Titans won and still couldn't even come within seven points. Third down run play across the 50. Offense can't get lined up. No wide receiver to catch the wide receiver screen. No handoff, nobody getting it.
Starting point is 00:27:22 Bad red zone play calls once again. Mismanagement on the one yard line before halftime. vertical routes when you need eight yards late in the game it was just an absolute disaster so obviously Brian Callahan is my number one tighten down number one no question about it but when we talk about the players Jarvis Brownlee Jr. was a disaster
Starting point is 00:27:47 and you know I gotta tell you guys I really get sick of people defending Jarvis Brownley and saying oh that was a bad call oh that was a ticky tack call Oh, that wasn't a pass interference. Oh, the refs are out to get the Titans. The refs are out to get the Titans. Do you guys not see patterns?
Starting point is 00:28:07 Like, I know that seeing patterns is a critical thinking skill. And quite frankly, my view of society is that a lot of people don't have critical thinking skills. They can't identify patterns. Like, do you not see that this happens every single week with Jarvis Brownlee Jr.? Like at what point in time? every single game you guys are like oh he's getting screwed those aren't penalties well if every single week he's getting called for three or four penalties it's a pattern it's not the refs these are different crews different wide receivers different environments
Starting point is 00:28:43 home in a way it doesn't matter jarvis brownie junior is getting stupid penalties he did it against Tampa bay when he tried to suplex a guy and geoffrey simmons i'm not giving jeffre simmons tighten down jeffrey simmons gets a major tighten up he was great in this game It wasn't his fault they lost. But the Titans did get a stop and what did Jeff do? Another stupid personal foul penalty, which he's done a ton in the past. At some point when this pattern develops and it shows you clearly, Jarvis Brownlee Jr. is going to get multiple stupid penalties every single game.
Starting point is 00:29:17 At some point, you guys have to stop blaming the refs and look at the pattern. It's him. He isn't learning. He isn't adjusting. I don't care whether it's fair or it's not fair. They are calling it every single game. That's on you now. You should know that it's going to be unfair.
Starting point is 00:29:38 You should adjust to that. Jarvis Brownlee Jr. hurts this team way more than he helps this team when it comes to the penalties. There's just no more debate. There's no more debate that can be had. It's a pattern. That's how I feel about Brian Callahan. People say, oh, you're going to criticize every play call.
Starting point is 00:29:59 Once a pattern develops, you can't point to a single incident and argue the single incident. Yeah, that single incident may not be, it's not Brian Callahan's fault that Kevin Zitler jumped all sides. Well, actually, maybe Kevin Zitler should have played in the preseason and he would be more ready to go and not get a false start penalty. And that is on Brian Callahan.
Starting point is 00:30:25 The coach who chose to not play Kevin Zeitler in the preseason. Therefore, he is not ready and ready to go. The buck stops with the coach. But again, tighten down for Jarvis-friendly Jr. And tighten down for Dan Moore. I tried to warn you guys. Tyler is so negative. Why don't you just blow one.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Dan Moore is not worth $22 million. The Titans need a left tackle still. The Titans need a left tackle. Dan Moore ain't the answer. he got pantsed out there. Penalties? They set it on the broadcast. Dan Moore had 24 penalties last year and 14 sacks.
Starting point is 00:31:06 He was one of the bottom five starting left pack was in the NFL. And you could say, he had a good pass rush win rate. Well, that's great. I hope the pass rush win rate will block for Cam Ward why Dan Moore is getting smoked. So, give me a break. on that and then Calvin Ridley Calvin Ridley's a top 5 wide receiver
Starting point is 00:31:30 I appreciate it Cam I appreciate it but Calvin Ridley had more drops in this game than he had catches well I think he had three drops and he ended up with four catches for 27 yards but what a pathetic display from Calvin Ridley
Starting point is 00:31:46 more than anything some of them are tough catches I'm not here to tell you that you know especially some of the early ones Tough catches. But him dropping that post at the end, the Titans would have had the ball at the 50 yard line. Calvin might have caught that and ran to the freaking end zone.
Starting point is 00:32:05 Clean, easy, dropped it right to the ground. Did you guys see Cam Ward's dad in the stands? They showed him on the television broadcast. If you didn't see it, Cam Ward's dad is sitting in the stands next to my guy Ben Arthur from Fox Sports, shout out Ben. but after Calvin dropped that Cam's dad literally stood up
Starting point is 00:32:27 walked into the aisle and put his hands on his head and looked down at the ground could not believe what they were doing to his son I mean Calvin Ridley was a 1,000 yard receiver last year Calvin Ridley is a good player but
Starting point is 00:32:44 he's the opposite of clutch he's the opposite of clutch and I give credit the Jaguars fans warned us. They told us, he doesn't know where to line up, he doesn't understand the playbook, he's going to drop the ball all the time, he's not going to be in the right place.
Starting point is 00:33:02 And so much crap happened last year in the game in the season that we couldn't hate on Calvin Ridley. He went for a thousand yards. So yeah, he dropped some passes, but the rest of the team was a freaking disaster. How am I going to talk bad about Calvin Ridley? but he really let Cam Moore down out there tonight.
Starting point is 00:33:24 Really let him down. No question. Major tighten down for Calvin Ridley. And I know that there are other players out there that didn't play very well, but I've got to get my last tighten down to James Williams. Two, two special teams penalties from James Williams. Two.
Starting point is 00:33:42 Like, how can you... It's crazy. It's just crazy. man, this team, man, this football team. I just don't understand. I don't understand. I never will. Like, last year,
Starting point is 00:34:00 rookie quarterbacks never win. Andrew Luck is the only only rookie quarterback in the last, like, 20 years to win week one until, or the number one pick, to win week one.
Starting point is 00:34:19 Until Caleb Williams last year. and guess who did it. The Titans and Brian Callahan. Like, historic things are happening against Brian Callahan. Week in and week out, historic collapses, historic issues,
Starting point is 00:34:37 monumental falloffs under Brian Callahan's watch. So, in my opinion, I think Mike Borgonzi was texting eye emojis and hearts to John Gruden during the game. I don't think that Gruden is a great choice.
Starting point is 00:34:55 I don't think Gruden's going to be the next coach. It's mostly just a joke, but is it? Is it? It's week one. You could say it's an overreaction, but again, this ain't week one for Brian Callahan. It's week 19. And how many games does this dude got a blow for this football team
Starting point is 00:35:13 before we all wake up and smell the roses? He's not an NFL head coach. Not yet. he's going to go be a good offensive coordinator and then maybe he'll get another opportunity to be a head coach when he's older and he'll do better but he ain't it right now and I would not be shocked
Starting point is 00:35:30 and shout out my guy Justin Graver from Titan Film Room who said this idea in my comments on Twitter but I would not be shocked if at some point during this season Brian Callahan is fired and Mike McCoy who was brought on as a senior offensive assistant who used to be a head coach in the NFL
Starting point is 00:35:47 is the interim head coach because there's no way that Chad Brinker Mike Borgonzi and Amy Adam Strunk are looking at what Brian Callahan just did and saying oh this is the guy to lead us into the future with Cam Ward and again you guys all want continuity you want continuity with Cam Ward cam once continuity I get it but maybe some of you are young maybe some of you found your high school sweetheart and you never had to worry about it but if you have ever dated in your entire life as an adult you know that staying with the wrong person for too long is just as bad as breaking up too soon. And this guy is not, the Titans scored 12 points and Cam Ward played well.
Starting point is 00:36:31 I don't care what kind of continuity Brian Callahan is bringing to the table. It's not the kind of continuity that I want. So, I got to go take some blood pressure medicine. I got to go take a shower. I am disgusted, I'm disgraced, and I know that all you guys feel pretty similar to me.
