The 2025 season is the Tennessee Titans' 56th in the National Football League (NFL), their 66th overall, their 29th in the state of Tennessee, their first under the leadership of a new general manager Mike Borgonzi, and their second and final under head coach Brian Callahan. The Titans held the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft, their first time holding it since 2016, which they used to draft Miami quarterback Cam Ward. ^[1] The team will look to improve upon their 3–14 record from the 2024 season and end their three-year drought of both a playoff appearance and an AFC South title. Their primary starting quarterback the previous two years, Will Levis, went through season-ending shoulder surgery in the off season. Brian Callahan has the worst record in NFL history through 20 games. ^[2] The Titans started 1–5 for the second consecutive season. This season began with the team's third general manager in four seasons. On October 13, Callahan was relieved of his duties with Mike McCoy being named interim head coach for the remainder of the season. ^[3] This means that 2026 will begin with the team's third head coach in four seasons.
