Ran Carthon shares behind the scenes opinion on Titans head coach Brian Callahan during radio interview

"I really truly believe in Cally and what he can do as the coach. I know he’ll be much better next year," Carthon told Kayla Anderson and Ramon Foster on Monday morning. "You would have had to be there to understand how he works diligently at his job every single day to have a plan every single week and to have a plan moving forward. I really believe in him and wish him nothing but the best."

Even after a rough 3-14 season, Callahan and Carthon have a really strong relationship. The firing and behind-the-scenes politics are much different this time around than they were last year. There was no power struggle between the GM and the head coach, There was no butting of heads. The conflict seems to come higher up in the Titans organization, but Brian Callahan is not ruffling feathers.

"We had a great relationship. He’s a guys guy. He’s a football coach," said Carthon, who added that Callahan has a fiery side to him despite his calm outwardly demeanor. 

From everything Chad Brinker and Amy Adams Strunk have said since firing Carthon, it seems they are buying in to Brian Callahan as well. The goal is to remain patient and let Cally build a culture and roster that can execute the style of football he what's to play. Can ownership actually remain patient and stick to that plan? That remains to be seen.
