 All right that breaking news tonight after two weeks without a head coach it's looking like a new era for the Tennessee Titans. We began with breaking news tonight from St. Thomas Sports Park as the Tennessee Titans announced the hiring of a new head coach. NFL head coaching news we've got a spot filled Monday Tennessee Titans have hired Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan to be their next head coach. Tennessee Titans according to Tom Pellecero has their guide. The Tennessee Titans who have now hired their head coach Brian Callahan. The Tennessee Titans are making an excellent hire. The Tennessee Titans have a new head coach it is Brian Callahan. This is the man of the hour Brian Callahan new head coach of the Tennessee Titans. What is the aspect of being a head coach that you are most excited about? That's a great question. Just the chance because I believe that I've been capable I believe in my abilities to lead a group of people to connect with a group of people and I think that there's an organization here that feels exactly the same from top to bottom and that's exciting to me but that that that role where I can be the one out front that I can help bring people together help connect the team that's exciting to me that's what coaching is it's building those relationships it's helping develop people. Why call your own place? A lot of reasons one I like being involved in the process that's part of what makes football fun for me is that is the solving the problems. Two in today's NFL everyone's always looking for the next offensive coach and so just like just what happened to Zach and Cincinnati I've left and nothing changes for Joe Burrow. The system's gonna stay the same no matter who you hire. The voice to the quarterback is consistent and the dream is that Will and I have a partnership for the next 10 years and he's the person that I hear him every Sunday for the next 10 years he hears me the system doesn't change the verbiage is the same so the quarterback has a chance to master an offense and I think that that's important because outside of the ownership the GM and myself the next most important relationship in the building is me and him and it's hard to foster that relationship without being involved in the process and so I believe in that I've seen it work you see coaches on the league doing it but that's the biggest reason why is it one I love doing it and two there's a there's another part of that process where we want the system to stay the same and we don't want to lose it. Brian one of the first questions you get in your press conference was about Will. Yeah. About Will Leviss and had you I know you didn't need a quarterback because you got Joe Burrow but had you done much work on him so you were you were aware. I was very familiar. Very aware. You know I watch all the quarterbacks every year just to know but you see the trace he's big he's strong he's fast he's hyper competitive he can throw the ball all over the field and then he got some experience this year so like I said in my press conference the NFL is a bear on young quarterbacks and so that learning process is critical and now you get a chance to step back install a new system while evaluating what did you do well what can we do better how do we improve everything about your game going into year two a large part of that's going to be he's involved in OTA's and training camp as a starting quarterback. How quickly do you hope to have a staff in place. Ideally before the combine which is was is plenty of time. I'd like it to be done by them but it could be done sooner just depends on how these things move but we are going to take our time we're not just going to hire to hire we're going to interview people we're going to get some ideas from around the league and talk to guys that maybe I'm not familiar with and see where how we can build the best staff together. There's going to be a combination of a veteran coaches some younger coaches guys that I've worked with and I know guys that maybe I don't and so we're going to try to build the best diversity of thought and I think that that's important and a coaching staff. Let's wrap up with this I recently asked Amy Adams-Strunk at this moment where the franchise is turning in a new direction what is it important for Titans fans to know so I ask you what do you want them to know at this moment. I wish I could bottle up and sell what I felt when I was in the interview on Monday here and what I mean by that is the the energy from the people that ought that I got to talk to the excitement about what's to come you could feel the the newness of some of the things that were happening obviously but ran being here and Chad and there's there's just this there's this kind of behind-the-scenes energy swell that I felt in the interview that said to me this fits you you got to be here and I this was like the only place I wanted to go and that's because I felt that and I hope and and I know they will eventually but that the fans feel that see that that there's some really I think some really awesome awesome times ahead and I believe that in my core that we're set up to have a lot of success thank you thank you so much and welcome thank you looking forward to working
