Unlike most of the 2020 NFL Draft class of quarterbacks, Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow has enjoyed total coaching continuity since entering the league. That’s been an undeniable aspect of his accelerated growth as a passer and master of Cincinnati’s offense.
2024 will bring on the first major change to Burrow’s support system. Former offensive coordinator Brian Callahan is now the head coach of the Tennessee Titans, and former quarterbacks coach Dan Pitcher has replaced him.
Despite the turnover on staff, NFL legend Peyton Manning isn’t the slightest bit worried about Burrow so long as Zac Taylor stays on as the head coach.

Manning, the AFC’s coach for this week’s Pro Bowl Games, spoke on Callahan becoming Tennessee’s head coach is a benefit for Titans quarterback Will Levis in the sense of continuity, the same way Taylor being Cincinnati’s head coach keeps things stable and consistent for Burrow.
“The good thing about Brian [Callahan], I know he’s calling the plays this year, but it’ll be the same system the entire time,” Manning said. “That’s so critical to a quarterback. That’s how I had in my career. Joe Burrow’s going to have the same system as long as Zac Taylor’s there, so that’s a real plus for any young quarterback. ”
