The Tennessee Titans dismissed head coach Brian Callahan after a Week 6 loss. General manager Mike Borgonzi will officially launch the search for Callahan's successor this week. Despite that, the failed head coach still managed to make a negative impact on the team in Sunday's Week 18 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Rookie quarterback Cam Ward injured his shoulder on a seven-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. The Titans are still awaiting information on the severity of a reported AC joint sprain. Ward was replaced by veteran backup Brandon Allen.
It was Coach Callahan who preferred Allen to be the Titans' backup quarterback.
