Instant Analysis: Who Will Replace Bengals OC Brian Callahan in Cincinnati?

Will Cincinnati promote from within?

CINCINNATI — Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan is set to become the next head coach of the Tennessee Titans. 

Callahan spent the past five years on Zac Taylor's staff.

The Bengals are expected to turn to long-time quarterbacks coach Dan Pitcher, league sources tell All Bengals. Pitcher, 37, has served as their quarterbacks coach since 2020—the same year Joe Burrow was drafted. 

Taylor and Burrow both hold Pitcher in high regard. 

"We mesh so well in the meeting room and on the sideline," Burrow said on Jan. 27 ahead of the AFC Championship Game. "We have a great working relationship. I say this all the time but I couldn’t ask for a better group of coaches for my skill set and what I do."

Taylor gave Pitcher credit for preparing Jake Browning to make seven starts with Burrow out. The Bengals went 4-3 down the stretch and remained in playoff contention. 

Pitcher is commanding a lot of interest across the NFL. The Raiders, Saints and Patriots are three teams searching for an offensive coordinator. All three have meetings scheduled with Pitcher. 

He's scheduled to fly to Las Vegas to meet with the Raiders on Tuesday night. 

Pitcher is the clear front-runner to be the Bengals' next offensive coordinator. That's what Taylor wants. It's up to the Bengals front office to make it happen, which means they need to get a deal done before he meets with any other teams.
