Another week, another humiliating loss for the Tennessee Titans and there are serious questions about the team as the season draws near an end.
Does Brian Callahan expect he’s going to have to make a case for himself to Amy Adams Strunk when this is over? “I don’t know.” #Titans pic.twitter.com/GUnl81NOEs

One question that has come up multiple times in recent weeks during head coach Brian Callahan’s weekly press conference is about his job security, and it happened again this week when he was asked if he expected to have to”‘make a case” for himself at the end of the season to owner Amy Adams Strunk.
His response: “I don’t know.”
This answer does not inspire any confidence, to say the least, and sounds like a coach that is already preparing for the worst.
While Callahan being let go after one season seemed far-fetched a few weeks ago, with every failure and debacle on the field, it feels like a distinct possibility. The Titans have not progressed in any way this season, especially on offense. Now, with injuries piling up on defense, the one unit that kept them afloat is struggling.
Callahan can’t be blamed for the injuries, but the lack of offensive production and the regression of Will Levis is all on him. He calls the plays for an offense that lacks an identity and has turned the ball over more than any other unit in the NFL. That all doesn’t fall on Levis and his poor decision making.
The Titans have shown fight and that is a great characteristic for a team that is struggling like they are. But the fact that they suffer from the same inconsistencies every week is mind boggling.
No matter what, at the very least, he must overhaul his staff. The special teams are atrocious, the offense is stale and the offensive line might be the worst unit in the NFL. Changes definitely must be made. Which leads us back to Callahan, who may or may not have to make a case for himself.
No one knows what owner Amy Adams Strunk may be thinking, but if I were Callahan, I’d already be working on a blueprint to right the ship. He might just need it.
