The Tennessee Titans won’t get the chance to interview Bill Callahan for their open offensive coordinator position, as the New York Jets have denied the Titans’ request to meet with their assistant head coach. Callahan, still under contract with the Jets, won’t be allowed to interview for the job with the Titans, where he would have potentially replaced Mike Heimerdinger. Instead, Callahan will continue his tenure with the Jets, where he is also the run game coordinator.
Bill Callahan has been a Jets coach for two seasons. Prior to his stint with New York, he was head coach for the Oakland Raiders and University of Nebraska Cornhuskers. He joined the Jets in 2008 and will be part of the team for at least another season.
This isn’t the first time the Jets have blocked an interview request this offseason. The New York team also denied the Raiders an interview with secondary coach Dennis Thurman. Denying interviews is perfectly fine by NFL rules, which state that if coaches are still under contract with the team, the team has the right to refuse interview requests from other teams around the league.
