Did he actually have a voice in who was hired? I thought he part in it was limited to helping make the short list of guys who would get picked from to make the actual hire. I get that gives him some responsibility, but how much can you blame the guy who just thined out the resume pile? Assuming i a remembering that right.

This is the silver-spoon kid who wanted nothing to do with the privately owned business daddy built, the one who had acknowledged intentionally avoiding learning anything about it, who then inherited it and had to do something. Instead of listening to the experienced professionals and the managers who know what the fuck they're doing, the kid just continues winging it, making unilateral decisions and firing new people every year ... immediately after saying how great they are and giving them a bunch of money to stay on. I'm sure it'll get better. Buddy, anyone who thought Callahan knew what he was going doesn't know what the fuck they are doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he will be involved in this latest hire. This was being discussed on one of the radio shows yesterday. Mythos27, and Callidus 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted a link to an article from last year related to hiring Callahan and promoting Carthon. I don't think he was just in the room taking notes....

This was being discussed on one of the radio shows yesterday. You realize this is normal right? Nihil runs the Titans as a business. He is going to be on the search committee, ask questions of Brinker/Borganzi, who they like, what the criteria is, whats the vision, how do we avoid hiring another dud, etc... Please me you don't actually think Brinker/Borgonzi or going to go off and conduct a search to find a HC by themselves and never discuss it with the Executives that run the team until they tell them who they hired?

We have no idea what happens inside that building, never have and probably never will. The best reporter we got is creepy-ass "What is Amy wearing right now?" PK. I for one am thrilled Callahan was fired. Thank you Amy. Now can you try to hire a bit better? I honestly can't believe fans of this team are upset that Callahan actually got fired. Like wtf were y'all watching to think it was ever going to get better? He was a dead man walking. The moment you know you're going to fire someone just do it. It is pointless to delay the inevitable. ctm 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizzyeddie Posted October 16, 2025 Report Share Posted October 16, 2025 I would think Brink and Borg wanted to wait till the bye for obvious reasons....time for the coaches to transition and the players are pretty much out of the building and don't have to come right back to work and face all the questions from the media...etc etc Amy...I think she knew that allowing Vrabel to come in and deliver the death blow was going to put the Titans back in the news cycle for only the second time this season...the first was Cam calling his team ass. While the move won't completely kill the story of Vrabel coming home and destroying his former team....by throwing up the white flag before it happens it does kinda let a little of the steam out of it. Instead of a tale of revenge...its shifted to just kinda being sad. Vrabel beating Callahan would have put all the focus on both Amy and Callahan....that's not the case so much now. oldschool, and TF_Titan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way she's that specific. It makes no sense based on everything else we've heard. More likely is that she wanted to fire him earlier and B&B (or just Brinker) said they wanted to keep him. I could see her then demanding some plan or adjustment because he was totally overwhelmed managing the team, and B&B decided to change playcallers. Which btw is as patient as she should have ever been. I'm less worried about AAS and more worried about Brinker. If anyone was blindsided by the firing, they are as myopic and inept as Callahan. Everyone in the NFL was waiting for his guillotine. I think Stillman is spot on about Brinker. He says Brinker didn't want to fire Cally because if he's gone there is no one left from the previous regime except for him and then he becomes public enemy no. 1.

The question is about our own faith in B&B to make good football decisions while also acknowledging that they were at least somewhat unprepared for this firing. If they were unprepared for this then that is 100% on them. Look at the landscape and the current state of the team. When you are this bad you need to always be prepared for a firing.

This is silly. as @ctm said when you take an executive role, you know the pressure is on you. The higher up you go, the more lonely it gets and the more blame you have placed on you. Its what Brinker and Borgonzi signed up for. Hell, its what Callahan signed up for when he decided to go after being a HC. ctm, and Justafan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convincing her to make a change at HC would have put far more pressure on him than simply letting the situation correct itself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
