Callahan has named Frank Pollack as the Titans new OC saying “I want to produce a dynamic explosive offense and with Pollack as OC I know we will have none of that”

Pollack was excited about his new role in Tennessee saying “ I’m excited for this opportunity and want to produce what I have in the past, a bunch of ass sitters. My motto is Whenever I feel like working, I lie down until the feeling goes away”

From @NFLTotalAccess: The #Titans are hiring former #Bengals OC Brian Callahan for the entire package, not only his work with Joe Burrow. pic.twitter.com/3UBi6j7l9A

Congrats to Brian. He's going to a much better spot than Carolina.

No one is giving up a top 10 pick for Tee. :lol:

I wonder if Tennessee would trade down from 7 to 18 for Tee? Also would that be enough for the Bengals? Maybe the Titans would have to throw in a 2nd Rd pick as well?

The Bengals coaches are all under contract.  They aren't going anywhere unless it is a promotion.  WR coach Troy Walters is the other potential OC on the current staff.  Robert Livingston  safety coach the most likely defensive guy to get offers on th defensive side

Why Livingston? It certainly wont be because of his safeties play this year.  Bettcher has DC experience, I could see him getting an offer.  I have never heard anything about Livingston being DC material.  Can you share that info?  

I am happy for BC. Players seem to love him and Dan Pitcher. Taylor speaks highly of both and I think BC is a good hire for Titans. I am glad this happened early so the Bengals did not lose BC and Dan. I know some think Pitcher is the dude, and Burrow speaks highly of him but Troy Walters may also get consideration for Bengals OC. It will be interesting how the offense changes next year.

John Harbaugh is a good head coach. He has no coaching tree. Bill Belichick has a coaching tree, entirely made up of absolute failures. It doesn't matter.


While it’s not Tomlin’s job to train up HCs for other teams, it’s not like his assistants are flaming out elsewhere like Belichick.



P.S. Tomlin made Arians OFC. Under Cowher, he was the Wide Receiver coach.

Was it Tomlin that fired Arians or the Front office? What part of I will get you the money on Friday, but on Monday I could not get you the money spells Tomlin fired Arians???

Me thinks you spout ...

Congrats to Callahan - given his other options I think he made the right choice.

Not a whole lot else really going for them beyond that.

But there are only 32 of these jobs available. He’s not at a point where he has the luxury to turn down one.

Also alot of cap space so has ability to be active in FA

Agree but possible they might trade a 2nd or 3rd for Tee and they have cap space.

Congrats to Mr Callahan...

Now lets see what the offense looks like

John Harbaugh's coordinators are littered with former Head Coaches like Gary Kubiak, Jim Caldwell, and Marc Trestman. He did have one coach leave and become a Head Coach Chuck Pagano.

I stand corrected. His coaching tree has combined for a record of 149-215-1.


Here is his coaching tree ...  six assistant coaches, (Hue Jackson, Chuck Pagano, Rex Ryan, Mike Pettine, Vic Fangio, and David Culley.

They were all OCs in Baltimore under Harbaugh but were former HCs before they got there. Harbaugh usually hires guys with alot of experience.

Congrats to him. Wish him well as long as it's not against the Bengals.

I agree, cant count guys that were previous head coaches.

Im not sure I would count Fangio either. Guy was a DC for 3 different teams before coming to the Ravens as a LB coach for one season, then became a DC for 3 more teams before becoming a HC.

Rex Ryan, Culley, Pettine, and Pagano for sure.

I think Hue is a maybe, he was already an OC before being QB coach at the Ravens, but he did leave there for another OC and then HC, so maybe...? Depends on how we define tree I guess.

The trade chart isn't exact or anything, but the value difference between moving from 18 to 7 is the same value as the 31st overall pick. Forget getting an extra pick from the Titans, we'd actually likely have to give the Titans our 3rd or 4th rounder.

Higgins, 18, and 4th rounder for their 7th is a deal I'd make.

It would depend on the player. Move up for one of the tackles yea but at #7 they could be gone Bengals probabaly won't move up for Malik Nabers, a DE, or DBs. Brock Bowers would be the only other guy at #7 and I'm not sure that is good trade value even though I would love to see Bowers in stripes.
