Do Not Call the Tennessee Titans Soft
Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan is firing back at critics who have described his team as “soft.” The Titans have struggled this season, sitting at 3-11 with a depleted roster and seemingly no quarterback after 2023 second-round pick Will Levis was benched.
Callahan was asked on Wednesday about the notion that he coaches a “soft” team, and he launched into a nearly two-minute rant in response. “You really want to get me going today? To be honest with you, I think that’s complete and total bulls—, if you want my honest opinion,” he said. “These guys are tough f—ers, man. They go after it every day, they play hard as hell. At no point have we ever put on tape, at any point this season, that this is a soft football team. I can’t even wrap my mind around how that would even be a conversation.”
Callahan went on to say that just because the team doesn’t win games doesn’t mean they’re soft. “If you don’t win games doesn’t mean you’re not tough, it means you’re just not good enough,” he said. “These guys play their a– off, they play hard, they play physical. That’s all you can ask for. If you don’t like it, you can shove it where the sun don’t shine.”
The Titans will finish their season with games against each of their division rivals, and Callahan is hoping his team can show that his words ring true.
