The New York Jets denied the Tennessee Titans request to interview Jets assistant head coach Bill Callahan, a source said. Titans coach Mike Munchak targeted Callahan as a possible replacement for fired offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger. But because Callahan is under contract, the Jets had the ability to block the move. Callahan, according to a source, wouldn't mind becoming an offensive coordinator again because it would enhance his chances of getting another head coaching position. Callahan was head coach for the Oakland Raiders and the University of Nebraska. He coaches the Jets offensive line and helps build the running offense. Source: ESPN.com
I thought it was a 'gentleman's agreement' for teams to not stunt a coaches opportunity for advancement. Callahan may be next in line as Ass't Head Coach, but only if Ryan overdoses on Twinkies will Callahan get a shot.
It's funny that the Jets picked apart our coaching staff apart when Rex got the job but now that guys have the ability to advance they are blocking interviews left and right lol
Word is Bud Adams was too cheap to buy a box of Twinkies to Ryan as a peace offering. Hence Ryan nixed the chance at the interview. Now the Titans have apparently moved on to their next target, the genius that is Mike Tice. :icon_rolleyes:
Denying him an interview is bullcrap. If I'm Callahan's agent I use this to my advantage and demand a new contract with a pay raise.
In a perfect world, yes. But this is the NFL where you don't stand in a guy's way for a better staff position....unless you're a rod.
