After the game today, Jeffery Simmons said the Tennessee Titans had their worst week of practice leading up to the game against the Las Vegas Raiders:
Cam Ward agreed with Simmons:
This is not a good look for anybody in the Titans’ building. It starts with the players. Sure, you would love for the coaches to be able to motivate them when they see that the team is flat, but why would the players not be motivated after the dramatic come-from-behind win over the Arizona Cardinals? At the end of the day, the players are responsible for being locked in and bringing energy to practice.
With that being said, the fact that the players are saying these things publicly is not a good sign for Brian Callahan. It does appear that the locker room is starting to turn on Callahan, and who could blame them? They keep doing the same things week in and week out with basically the same results. It took three miracles, the Kyler Murray fumble when the ball hit him in the facemask, the dropped ball before crossing the goalline, and the interception turned touchdown, for them to get a win. If one of those three things doesn’t happen, the Titans are probably 0-6 right now.
Brian Callahan’s time as the Titans’ head coach is over, whether that’s official this week, next week, or at the end of the season. It seems pretty pointless to let him continue as the head coach. The only question now is when Amy Adams-Strunk will pull the trigger.
