Brian Callahan Gets Emotional Thanking Bengals Organization, Zac Taylor: 'Can See How Much These People Mean to me'
CINCINNATI — The Titans introduced new head coach and former Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan on Thursday as the lead man praised his old employer throughout the opening press conference.
Titans general manager Ran Carthon and Callahan noted how helpful Bengals head coach Zac Taylor was in the process.
"His ability to communicate with us about Brian, I feel is unmatched and I would be remissed if I didn't say thank you to him. So thank you Zac for all the help you provided," Carthon said.
Callahan has worked with Taylor closely over the past five seasons and is ready to lead his own coaching staff.
"I would like to thank the Cincinnati Bengals organization," Callahan said as he got emotional at the podium. "Mike Brown, probably one of the greatest men that I've ever met. I'll get it together in a second don't worry. Katie and Troy Blackburn, their daughters, Elizabeth and Caroline, and Duke Tobin and his staff. They gave me an incredible opportunity to grow and they were patient and they invested in me and I'll forever be grateful for that.
"The next one. You can see how much these people mean to me. I'll get it together. All right. And then probably most importantly, Zac Taylor. He's a great friend. He's been an incredible mentor. And he's a fantastic football coach. Thank you for everything."
It's all come full circle for a guy who's more than deserving of this opportunity after being the longest-tenured coordinator in the NFL for a mere 10 days. The coaching churn continues across the NFL. Watch the clip of Callahan thanking Brown, Taylor and the Bengals below:
