Tennessee Titans coach Brian Callahan said Tuesday that he's relinquishing his play-calling duties to quarterbacks coach Bo Hardegree, while Nick Holz will continue to be the offensive coordinator and maintain the same duties helping build the game plan.
Callahan said he chose Hardegree to call plays over Holz because of his experience as interim OC for nine games with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2023. Holz was last an offensive coordinator at UNLV in 2022.
The Titans have been outscored 94-51 in their 0-3 start, with fans booing and chanting "fire Callahan" during Sunday's 41-20 loss to the Colts.
Callahan, who has a 3-17 record with the Titans, said he handed off play-calling duties to be able to better handle his head coaching duties and be more involved in all facets of the operations process.
Holz and Tyke Tolbert will continue to be in charge of putting together the red zone game plan, while Randy Jordan will continue to handle the screen game.
Callahan said there is no disruption of how the process worked before. Callahan, Hardegree and Holtz will still be the ones in game plan meetings with quarterback Cam Ward, who has lobbied for stability after the Titans have fired a head coach or general manager in three consecutive seasons.
The Titans have three consecutive away games starting with the Houston Texans this week, followed by West Coast trips to face the Arizona Cardinals and Las Vegas Raiders.
