Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan has reportedly made the latest addition to his staff, with the team set to hire Jacksonville Jaguars passing-game coordinator Nick Holz as offensive coordinator.
This is the fourth coaching staff hire for Callahan, who has also added his dad, Bill Callahan, as offensive line coach, Dennard Wilson as defensive coordinator and Tyke Tolbert as wide receivers coach.
Holz was the Jags’ passing-game coordinator for one season in 2023, when Jacksonville sported the No. 9 passing attack in the NFL. Prior to that, he was the offensive coordinator at UNLV for one season.
Holz has connections to both Callahan’s.
He was Brian’s high school teammate and worked with him while both were on the Raiders’ staff, and served as an offensive quality control coach and video intern under Bill at Nebraska in 2007.
Over 10 seasons with the Raiders, Holz served in several jobs, including offensive assistant (2012-14), offensive quality control coach (2015-16 and 2018-20) and assistant wide receivers coach (2017 and 2021).
While we were hyped for the other three hires, this one isn’t as exciting because Holz’s resume is a bit short for such a role.
However, it’s worth noting that he won’t be calling the plays. Further, the fact that Callahan, who has been lauded for the other hires, trusts Holz is enough for us to get behind the move.
