Brian Callahan On Taking Over From Mike Vrabel + Expectations For Next Season

Recorded: May 16th 2024 | On this weeks episode, the boys have seen the comments, they have heard the outcry, and they have felt the disappointment. In this weeks intro, we bend the knee.
Following the intro, Will and Taylor are joined by new Head Coach of the Tennessee Titans, Brian Callahan. The guys immediately get into what all went into the process of hiring his dad, Bill Callahan, as the Titans offensive line coach. It was a long debated topic between he and his father. Then the guys get into Coach Callahan's coaching journey, touching on all the spots he's been too, the most influential spots he's been at, and what his big break was. Coach then talks about what it was like becoming the head coach for the Titans. We all know that he is taking over from Vrabel and he touches on the things he wants to keep the same but also the different things that he and his staff will be implementing. The Titans seem to have found another great coach and Callahan gives something for all Titans to look forward to as he gives his expectations for the season as well. After this interview, you can't help but think that the Titans are in great hands, enjoy fellas.

Get on the bus with NFL players Will Compton & Taylor Lewan! The Boys are letting you in on their hilarious, high-energy (and often heartfelt) conversations. Topics range from exclusive stories to active player perspectives to out-of-left-field hot takes on things you and your friends only discuss behind closed doors. Sometimes they chat with a guest, sometimes it's just the two of them, but it's always a good time when you're Bussin' With The Boys.
And yes, this is the podcast where Mike Vrabel said he'd cut his piece off for a Super Bowl.

Hanging with the fellaz, BUSSIN WIT THE BOYZ.!

[@bat2ball12]

Very on brand for them to throw it back to the erntro, fuck yea

[@tagjr9744]

Been a Titans fan since 2000. Vrabel grew on me reminding me of the 1999-2004 era of the Titans. But I loved this hire from the start!

[@EricSmith870.]

Let’s GOOOOO!! Love that y’all listened to the BOYS and brought back the old ERNTRO!! Shoutout the boys LEGENDARY!! 💯💯💪🏻💪🏻

[@KateHarley-ej3uw]

HELL YES, BOYS! Way to listen to us. Erntro is the best ❤

W on the intro!! Love these inside looks at my titans I love it

[@anselmoaviles5128]

I just got chills

[@Chaseh1616]

You gotta say yes to the hand- cut off Cali 😂

[@stuffylamb3420]

Just finished and he seems like a really good dude. He’s does a lot of self-reflection which is a positive quality in anyone and he doesn’t seem like a tough guy coach. Happy to have him. And I looooooove that he is so adamant that you need to have talented receivers.

[@Chris_Broy]

Love this interview with coach. Great insight and I can’t be more happy to have him running the Titans!!! Titan Up!!!! That fire story is hysterical

[@oreospeedwaggindoesamerica6078]

Man I didn’t know much about this coach not as much as his dad but he seems freaking awesome! I’ve never been a Titan fan but he is hard not to pull for and seems like he would be fun to play for. Glad you changed the intro it’s just a classic and as soon as I hear it I get happy like listening to the Eagles or Fleetwood Mac for myself!

[@thewristinjury]

Thank you!

[@titantown615]

Thank God for bringing back the Intro!

[@alexshirley6096]

Brian Callahan is refreshing to have as a coach

[@sethmartin263]

Definitely yelled Yesssss! When I heard the Entro! Got goosebumps!

[@swampfox9820]

Thank you for listening to the people. Old intro slaps

[@austinwilson162]

Good shit boys.. Titans fans needed this and you guys delivered

[@nealmiller7986]

Thank you for bringing back the old intro music and the clips to go with are fire...old meets new 👍👍

[@kentuckykid3439]

The levels the new old intro back in action improved the quality of this podcast brought is insane!

[@tannermikal2]

we’ll miss him in Cincy! love ya coach good luck

[@JayWallEnt]

There was a tear in my eye listening to that intro. Thank the good Lord

[@heiliger1000]

I think Callahan will do well in Nashville. I like how when he starting out in his career, his dad wouldn't hire him as he wanted him to make a name for himself on his own first. Mike Shanahan did the same thing when his son Kyle was starting out rather than just handing him a job on his staff immediately. It's cool that Callahan hired his dad all of these years later.

[@kirbygodbold6322]

I think he's just a genuinely good dude. 1:59:26 I really hope he has success with the Titans. Excited to have him. Titan Up!!!

[@johndireito5282]

Nice work Taylor! Brotha youre getting better and better at hosting even on your own. Far more comfortable than anytime i can remember in the past

[@vitigaymer1053]

Excited for this season. TITAN UP!

[@KramerMiller]

He's seems so smart. He will be one of those great young head coaching minds in the NFL. Love it!

[@anthonyhall4793]

500 % Right on the OG PAIN TRAIN VIDEO! It needs to come back!!!!!!!

[@QuentinJetson3]

I’m ngl I’ve been busy and behind and this is my first ep in a while and I can’t be happier the old intro is BACK 😢

[@mitchellz1685]

I’m a casual listener now, old tier 1, but that intro just hit different! It’s embodies what this show is

[@jakeh7123]

[@JH-ij6jw]

Great pod on this one boys. Got to give the MVP on this pod to the fly. The moves it was making all over the bus was epic. Seeing 1st round potential

[@MrSirbikesalot]

That intro is what I needed today!

[@TrentonLeeEntertainment]

Appreciate ya boys 👌

[@562LA2THEBAY]

Taylor do what you gotta do to get Big Jeff on the podcast. You mention your guys history and it sounds serious but if we can move past that and get him on the bus that would be epic and something all Titans fan wanna see. Do it for the boys
