Colts request interview with Bengals’ Brian Callahan for head-coaching job

The Cincinnati Bengals are gearing up for the Divisional Round game against the Buffalo Bills with a trip to the AFC Championship Game on the line.

However, with so many other teams’ seasons already over, coaching changes are already starting to happen.

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported Thursday that the Indianapolis Colts have requested an interview with Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan for their head coaching job.

Callahan has been with the Bengals since 2019 and has been instrumental in building the culture around the team. He is also now the longest-serving OC in the AFC North with the release of Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman.

The 38-year-old son of Cleveland Browns offensive line coach Bill Callahan has received significant hype as a future NFL head coach since the Bengals’ Super Bowl magic last season. That should continue after this year’s group finished 12-4 in the regular season and are now in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs.

As long as the Bengals continue to win like they have for the past two seasons, their assistants will seek head coaching positions in the NFL and college ranks.

The Bengals and Bills will kick off in Buffalo on Sunday at 3:00 p.m. ET, and it will air on CBS.
