During the same press conference where Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan talked about the quarterback situation, he made an interesting comment.
#Titans‘ Callahan: Potential benefit of moving away from Levis is that guys in the locker room want to feel that all players are held accountable.

“(One) Potential benefit of moving away from Levis is that guys in the locker room want to feel that all players are held accountable.”
That is not only an interesting statement but also a bit contradictory to what has happened throughout 2024. Where have the other examples of accountability been?
Players have been benched, like tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere, only to regain their starting position while playing at the same subpar level. Was this accountability the reason Leroy Watson was released after coming off an injury? It’s definitely hard to see.
Then there is the accountability of the coaching staff or lack thereof. Offensive coordinator Nick Holz has led an inept offense that lacks identity and has no creativity. The offensive line, coached by Bill Callahan, may be the worst unit in the NFL. The special teams are the worst in the league. They are terrible, and their coach, Colt Anderson, even admitted that he didn’t know how to fix it two weeks ago.
Benching Levis is one thing, but his performance was bad, and he clearly isn’t the answer. But saying this is to show accountability to the locker room is a joke. Callahan has not held anyone accountable all season, especially on his coaching staff, and that is a major reason the Titans sit here at 3-11.
The Titans will face the Indianapolis Colts in Week 16, and maybe Brian Callahan will hold himself accountable and put a winning team on the field.
