The 2024 season is the Tennessee Titans' 55th season in the National Football League (NFL), their 65th overall, their 28th in the state of Tennessee, their second under the leadership of general manager Ran Carthon and their first under head coach Brian Callahan. They will attempt to improve on their 6–11 record from last year, make the playoffs after a 2-year absence, and end their 2-year AFC South title drought. This is their first season since 2015 without long time running back Derrick Henry, who left the team in the offseason and joined the Baltimore Ravens.

The franchise entered 2024 with a total of 493 wins, including both regular season and playoff games. If they win seven in 2024, they will become the latest team originating from the American Football League to reach 500 victories. However, the Titans had a 1–6 start to the season, their worst start since 2015.

Offseason

[edit]

Coaching changes

[edit]

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.
