The franchise enters 2024 with 493 lifetime wins encompassing regular season and playoffs; should they win seven games they will become the most recent team originating from the American Football League to reach 500 career wins.
On January 9, 2024, the Titans fired head coach Mike Vrabel after six seasons with the team.[ 1] [ 2] Vrabel had lost 18 out of the past 24 games dating back to the 2022 season and hadn't won a playoff game since the 2019 season .[ 1] However, many still saw the move as a surprise and believed Vrabel to be a popular head coaching candidate for other teams.[ 2] [ 3]
On January 24, 2024 the Titans hired Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan as their new head coach.
