Titans fans calling for Brian Callahan's firing after 1 season are too emotional

The Tennessee Titans raised a few eyebrows when they hired former Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan to succeed Mike Vrabel as their next head coach. Callahan wasn't exactly a hot name on the market, and many doubted how big is role in making Joe Burrow a star actually was.

Callahan has led the Titans to a disappointing 3-10 record, punctuated by a loss to a Mac Jones-led Jacksonville Jaguars team that only scored 10 points. This has led to calls for Callahan's job to permeate over Titans social media.

While it's fair to be disappointed after that game and during this season in general, a tough season working with Will Levis was expected despite Callahan's offensive background. The Titans need to stay the course rather than continuing to churn through coaches as they start looking for more immediate short-term fixes.

It might be tough to watch for the rest of the year, but the Titans owe it to Callahan to give him one more year to prove his quality as a professional coach.

Titans would be foolish to fire Brian Callahan after one season

If you're saying Levis has shown you no indication he could be a high-end starter in the league this year, you're lying to yourself. The splash plays have been there. However, in terms of winning games in what is Levis' first full season as a starter, his performance should not lead to the expectation of wins.

The Titans' free agency spending spree may have given some fans a false sense of just how competitive this team could be with a developing Levis at quarterback and a first-year head coach running the show. Yes, Callahan is in a weak division, but he's dealt with quarterback inconsistencies and injuries, and an underwhelming offensive line.

Callahan appears to have helped Levis take steps forward, and he nailed the hire of defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson. Firing a coach after one year is always a foolish move, unless there are Urban Meyer-level disasters from which no one can come back. Callahan is not at that level, and likely will never be.

The Titans may end up realizing Callahan is not the guy for the job, but they would be foolish to invest all this time and resources into giving him the best possible team, only to abandon ship at the first sign of turbulence. Callahan has earned one more year as the Titans' head coach.
