Titans HC Brian Callahan fiercely claps back at reporter question: 'You can shove that right up your ass'
Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan will not tolerate people calling his team soft. While speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Callahan went on an epic rant after he was asked about some believing his team was soft both physically and mentally.
“I mean, you really want to get me going today?” Callahan said, per Awful Announcing. “Yeah, I think to be honest with you, I think that’s complete and total bullshit if you want my honest opinion. These guys are tough f**kers, man, they go after it every day. They play hard as hell, and at no point have we ever put on tape at any point this season that this is a soft football team. I can’t even wrap my mind around how that would even be a conversation. I mean, just because we don’t win games doesn’t mean we’re soft. These guys play their ass off. They play hard, they play physical. You can ask any team that plays against us that when they come off the field they know they played us.”
Callahan later said, “These guys come out here and they do everything possible to win games. And if there’s any assumption that’s anywhere outside of this building, again we don’t focus on those things, but there’s no possible explanation to say that this team is soft in any way shape or form, mentally or physically.

More on Brian Callahan’s epic rant
“The way that they go about their work, it’s insulting to me, to them, to everyone that works here. …No chance ever in hell would I ever admit that to be the case and neither would anybody in this locker room, so you can kind of shove that one right up your ass to be honest.”
Brian Callahan was hired as the Titans head coach this past offseason after spending the last four years as the Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator. The Titans are 3-11, and while it’s easy to question the team’s physical and mental toughness, the biggest issue is the quarterback position as Will Levis has thrown 12 touchdowns and 12 interceptions with a 2-9 record in 11 starts.
