Browns lose offensive line coach Callahan to Titans

There are now two Callahans with the Titans.

Offensive line coach Bill Callahan is leaving the Cleveland Browns to join his son Brian’s staff with the Tennessee Titans, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Thursday night.

Callahan has informed the Browns that he’s taking the job, said the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because the teams are not commenting during the interview process. The elder Callahan had been on coach Kevin Stefanski’s staff in Cleveland since 2020.

Brian Callahan was recently hired by the Titans, who fired Mike Vrabel on Jan. 9 following consecutive losing seasons. The younger Callahan, 39, had been Cincinnati’s offensive coordinator since 2019.

Bill Callahan has a reputation as one of the NFL’s best offensive line coaches. The 67-year-old was previously a head coach in Oakland and Washington.

Callahan’s departure is a major loss for the Browns and Stefanski, who shook up his staff following an 11-6 regular season and a 45-14 loss to the Houston Texans in the wild-card round.
