Callahan is essentially fired and they're going to let him ride it out.    This is exactly like Brinker taking over the GM duties Carthon's last season.    Callahan was hired to ca

This move...a non firing but stripping of authority....keeps AAS from being labeled impulsive again.

The funny thing is there wasn't an easier situation for Callahan to keep his job. They decision makers were publicly squashing expectations and talking about patience. He basically had a free pass. Al

I think having paying ex coaches and ex gms absolutely has something to do with it. Doesn’t make it right but I think it’s a variable. 

yeah

also the initial plan IMO was to acquire draft capital and build the roster which took the emphasis off of going out and getting the HC of the future.

 

 

let Callahan sink or swim ...but they got caught up in the cam ward hype and switched lanes...

 

now they are wasting a year of cams rookie deal and racheting up the pressure to make the right decisions this off-season...part of me still thinks they should have taken the slower approach and just looked to acquire draft capital and build the roster up...then get your QB and HC.

Looking through a few examples for context - 

 

Matt Nagy gave up play calling duties halfway through his four year tenure in Chicago 

Nick Sirianni gave up play calling duties in 2021

Kevin Stefanski gave up play calling last year

Brian Daboll has given up play calling duties a couple different times over the past two years. 

 

Ultimately, Sirianni is the only success story. 


Dan Campbell did it

I don't understand how soft he can be. Last week, Dolphins-Patriots game, Vrabel said before the game, guys this is gonna be a dogfight. Accept it, sign up for it. They were losing, they scored on a kickoff return and intercepted the ball later. They won the game. That's the mentality you want to have, Callahan only cries. 

Vrable cried because a guy played a game.

Fans too.

who the fuck cries over a silly game where grown men run around in tight pants grabbing and hugging each other ? 
voicing displeasure with incompetence and physically shedding tears are certainly not the same thing.

That first graph accurately depicts the Callahan/Coen dynamic

 

There are a couple of play callers on the far right of that graph who aren't currently HCs...

Edit read that wrong. Callahan is just in a league of his own with both offense and defense.

Another angle of Callahan giving up playcalling that I haven't seen mentioned yet is that even if the team improves, Callahan may not want to remain as HC if he can't call plays. 

 

I'm not sure he really wants to be a HC -- he seems like someone who enjoys designing the offense more and who might be happier just being a playcalling OC. He's mentioned how it's probably his favorite part of coaching. He's clearly not great at being a manager type who delegates to everyone else.

 

I could see him welcoming the axe this offseason.

He could still put the offensive gameplan together.  But his playcalling and coaching days are over after this season...

 

I heard PK this morning on the radio asked what the chances were that Callahan was still head coach in 2026 and he said 0%.
