INDIANAPOLIS — When the 2024 regular season begins, the Tennessee Titans will have rookies filling every key leadership position, including head coach and coordinator of offense, defense, and special teams.
While hiring younger coaches has been a recent trend in the NFL (six of the eight new head coaches are under the age of 47, including the Titans’ Brian Callahan), teams still need a certain level of managerial experience. prefer.
While some may be put off by the new faces, Callahan sees new ideas.
“We have a group of people who don’t have preconceived notions of what that looks like, so that’s very valuable,” Callahan said Tuesday at the NFL Scouting Combine when asked about the coaching staff.
“We can do it our way, and we can do it with the energy and enthusiasm that you feel when you first start this job. They can experiment and expand on ideas they’ve been incubating for years. So Callahan will be taking his first coaching job and calling offensive plays for the first time after 18 years as an assistant. Additionally, defensive coordinator Denard Wilson, offensive coordinator Nick Holtz and special teams director Colt Anderson all have experience, but this will be their first time leading their respective units.
“There will be some growing pains,” Callahan said. “We are all new to our jobs to some degree, but we are quick learners and pay close attention to learn what we need to learn. But I think there are benefits to our energy. Football coach Brian Callahan also knows that patience doesn’t last long, so he wants to learn quickly. “There’s not a lot of patience in the NFL anyway. They do everything they can to build the best team that year, but there is little long-term planning. But the goal is to put a competitive team on the field every year, and our expectations are no exception.
