He occupied the position for five seasons before jumping to the NFL.

The Philadelphia Eagles appointed Bill Callahan as their offensive line coach in 1995. He came highly recommended following his success at the collegiate level.

Brian Callahan's NFL coaching career

Brian Callahan got his first job as an NFL coach in 2010 when the Denver Broncos employed him as a coaching assistant. He occupied the position for just one year before being promoted to offensive quality control coach.

Callahan rose the ranks in good time, earning yet another promotion to the rank of offensive assistant ahead of the 2013 NFL season. However, that was his last gig with the Broncos, as Callahan moved to the Detroit Lions to become their quarterbacks coach in 2016.

Callahan occupied the role for two seasons, eventually moving to the Oakland Raiders to occupy the same position. He was in Oakland briefly, as the Cincinnati Bengals lured him to become their offensive coordinator in 2019. Callahan accepted the gig and was instrumental in the development of Joe Burrow and the rest of the Bengals' offensive talent.

His work with the Bengals earned him the head coach job at the Tennessee Titans, and he is set to resume work ahead of the 2024 NFL season.
