Tennessee will, of course, look to add players around Ward and ideally compete for a playoff spot next season. The team currently has seven picks in the 2026 NFL Draft. By the time April rolls around, a new head coach will likely be involved in the decision-making process for Tennessee.
Jets’ Aaron Glenn plays ‘secret’ games with Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor decision
Posted November 9, 2025
The New York Jets shocked the NFL by going on a fire sale on Tuesday. Many thought this could signal bigger changes in New York, including a potential change at the quarterback position. The Jets have finally made their decisions just hours before kickoff for Week 10.
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn kept his decision about the team's starting quarterback “a secret” up until Sunday, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
New York will keep Justin Fields as their starting quarterback, with Tyrod Taylor as his backup.
Glenn wanted to keep this decision a secret, but Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports first reported Fields as a starter on Saturday.
Either way, the Jets seem set to roll with Fields ahead of an important game against the Browns.
Fields had his best game of the season in New York's Week 8 win against Cincinnati. He threw for 244 passing yards and one touchdown to help get the Jets their first win of the Glenn era.
Hopefully he picks up right where he left off.
Did Jets' trade deadline fire sale impact Aaron Glenn, Darren Mougey's future?
The Jets made the bold decision to bet on the future, which prompted Tuesday's fire sale.
But will that decision have consequences for Glenn or GM Darren Mougey? NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that both are still in good standing after the trade deadline.
“Yet the job of head coach Aaron Glenn, no doubt, became more difficult,” Rapoport wrote on Saturday. “Which raised the question: How will the status of Glenn, leader of the 1-7 Jets, be affected by the trades? Sources paint a clear picture for Gang Green: It won't. In other words, there are no plans for a one-and-done result. Glenn was in lock-step with Mougey on each move, with the idea that they would continue to build the roster based on their joint vision going forward.”
New York will have an opportunity to completely rebuild their roster in Glenn's image. That should give Jets fans plenty of reason for optimism moving forward.
But the Jets need to focus on finishing the regular season before answering any of these offseason questions.
Jets vs. Browns kicks off at 1PM ET on Sunday.
Titans Fire Head Coach Brian Callahan in Second Dismal Season
The Tennessee Titans have fired Brian Callahan just six games into his second season as head coach. Callahan finishes his Titans‘ tenure with a 4-19 record, including a 1-5 start this season. His .174 winning percentage ranks as the fifth-worst for any head coach since 1970 with a minimum of 20 games.
“After extended conversations with our owner and general manager, we met with Brian Callahan this morning to tell him we are making a change at head coach,” Tennessee’s president of football operations Chad Brinker said in a statement. “These decisions are never easy, and they become more difficult when they involve people of great character. We are grateful for Brian’s investment in the Titans and Tennessee community during his tenure as head coach. We thank him and his family for being exemplary ambassadors of the Tennessee Titans.
“While we are committed to a patient and strategic plan to build a sustainable, winning football program, we have not demonstrated sufficient growth. Our players, fans, and community deserve a football team that achieves a standard we are not currently meeting, and we are committed to making the hard decisions necessary to reach and maintain that standard.”
The Build-up to Callahan’s Firing
Just last week, Callahan was handing out game balls to an exuberant Titans locker room after the team notched its first win of the season in a 22-21 thriller over the Arizona Cardinals. It was No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward’s first career victory. There was a glimmer of hope that the team had turned the corner following a frustrating 0-4 start, in which most games were non-competitive. Yet, after the Titans fell 20-10 to an underachieving Raiders team on Sunday, the team’s front office decided to make a change. Tennessee has the second-worst margin of defeat this season, at -13.0 points per game.
The numbers, in most facets, are disappointing. The Titans are scoring the second-fewest points per game (13.8) and gaining the fewest yards per game (232.3). Meanwhile, they have surrendered the 11th-most yards per game (343.3) and seventh-most points per game (26.8). Ward has also been sacked 25 times in only six games, the most in the league by a significant margin.
With former Titans head coach Mike Vrabel coming to town in Week 7, ownership may have been compelled to fire Callahan before he could be beaten by the man he was hired to replace.
Failures That Led to the Team’s Decision
According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, Titans ownership was initially opposed to making an in-season coaching change. “But it spiraled out of control—things felt off, there were head-scratching moves, no true direction or improvement—and they made the switch today,” Schultz tweeted.
Kevin Patra of NFL.com writes, “Callahan regularly made avoidable coaching errors. The onset of the season portended the epic failures that would dissolve the Titans‘ season before it got off the ground.”
Hours before Callahan was fired, ESPN’s Bill Barnwell included him on a list of players and coaches on the hot seat. “In terms of game management, it’s hard to argue that Callahan has been up to the task,” Barnwell writes. “He was involved in a bizarre controversy in Week 1, where he neglected to challenge an incomplete pass call on Titans receiver Elic Ayomanor because he had only an elbow inbounds. (One elbow, as you probably know, equals two feet.) In Week 2, the Titans were lined up for a 57-yard field goal, only for Callahan’s indecisiveness to lead to a delay of game penalty, with the ensuing 62-yarder getting blocked. In Week 4, while trailing 26-0 to the Texans and inside his own 5-yard line with 1:50 to go, Callahan handed the ball to Tony Pollard three consecutive times, putting unnecessary hits on the 28-year-old’s body.”
Callahan now has the dubious distinction of being the first coach fired during the 2025 season, but he likely won’t be the last.
What’s Next for Tennessee
After three consecutive seasons below .500, it appears 2025 will continue to be a rebuilding year for the Titans. Only four teams in NFL history have made the playoffs after starting 1-5.
The rest of the season will have several focuses aside from the team’s record, with Ward’s development at the top. Despite modest numbers, the 23-year-old QB has shown flashes of both poise and playmaking ability to start his career. It hasn’t been the ascendant rookie season of quarterbacks like Jayden Daniels or C.J. Stroud, but it’s been promising nonetheless, especially considering the Titans’ talent-deficient offense.
