Don’t be surprised if you hear Brian Callahan’s name mentioned as a candidate for potential head coach openings in the NFL over the next few weeks.
The NFL changed its rules regarding when teams with a vacant opening can begin to interview coaches. Prior to the rule change, teams had to wait until the regular season concluded before conducting interviews. As of Tuesday, teams can begin the interview process with candidates if they have already fired their coach.
Callahan, 37, is in his third year as offensive coordinator for the Bengals and has played a key role in Cincinnati’s offensive success this season.
