Coaching changes edit
On January 9, 2024, the Titans fired head coach Mike Vrabel after six seasons with the team.[1][2] Vrabel had lost 18 out of the past 24 games dating back to the 2022 season and hadn't won a playoff game since the 2019 season.[1] However, many still saw the move as a surprise and believed Vrabel to be a popular head coaching candidate for other teams.[2][3]
On January 24, 2024 the Titans hired Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan as their new head coach.
