The Cleveland Browns abruptly fired three offensive coaches after the team’s blowout playoff loss in January. On the first day of February, a fourth walked away of his own accord.
Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com broke the news that Bill Callahan, among the NFL’s most revered offensive line coaches, handed in his resignation Thursday and intends to join the staff of the Tennessee Titans.
“Browns offensive line coach Bill Callahan is leaving Cleveland to join his son Brian Callahan, the new head coach of the Titans,” Cabot wrote. “Callahan, the Browns highly-regarded OL coach the past four seasons, has received permission from the Browns to interview with his son, who has always said he’d love to work with his dad. The details are currently being worked out, and it’s expected to be done soon.”
Callahan has spent decades coaching in the NFL and NCAA, including multiyear stints as offensive coordinator with the Las Vegas Raiders (then the Oakland Raiders) from 1998-2001 and the Dallas Cowboys between 2012-14.
Callahan also held head coaching duties with the Raiders organization for two years, going 11-5 in 2002 and winning the AFC Championship. Oakland earned a record of just 4-12 the next season, however, after which the team relieved Callahan of his position.
