5 NFL Teams Reportedly Expected to Fire HCs, 1 Star Player Complaining to Ownership

The Tennessee Titans announced Monday they fired Brian Callahan, but he reportedly won’t be the only head coach to meet such a fate.

NFL insider Josina Anderson cited a source Monday who said the expectation is five NFL teams will make head coaching changes. The Titans were included in that number, although Anderson also pointed out “one of said teams has a star player expressing frustration to ownership.”

There were no specific details given about which teams could be looking to make a move, yet she did note one could be unexpected.

Frankly, it would be more surprising if someone expected there not to be additional coaching changes in the NFL. That’s just the nature of the business, and plenty of teams move on from their coaches after disappointing seasons every single year.

The current one will surely be no different.

Seven teams fired their head coaches after the 2024 campaign, and the Titans are the first of what will surely be plenty more this year. Seven was actually a step down from the eight coaches who were fired after the 2023 season.

For now, fans can speculate about which moves are coming, and one look at the standings usually gives a fairly good clue as to which teams will be involved in the coaching carousel.

There has been no shortage of speculation about Mike McDaniel’s status as the head coach of the Miami Dolphins amid their 1-5 start. And additional rumors will continue to emerge as teams struggle down the stretch.

As for the Titans, it isn’t surprising they decided to make this move. Callahan was just 4-19 as the head coach, and any doubt about whether he was the one to maximize Cam Ward’s chances of success after the franchise selected the quarterback with the No. 1 pick of the 2025 draft was going to work against him.

Fortunately for Callahan, there will be plenty of job openings around the league again at the end of the 2025 season.

Because there almost always are.
