Titans Coach Sounds Off on QB Will Levis
The Tennessee Titans are hoping that second-year quarterback Will Levis will continue to blossom now that he has an offensive-minded coach in Brian Callahan.
After serving as the Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator for the first part of Joe Burrow’s career, Callahan has the track record of how to develop a quarterback, and he has nothing but good things to say about Levis so far.
“He’s been great,” Callahan said. “Really, really happy with the work that he’s put in, what he’s learned. There’s a lot of information coming at him. A lot of technical things, a lot of mental things, a lot of physical things as far as fundamentals, techniques, how we teach, what we teach. He’s attacked it with really awesome enthusiasm. … I think he’s really gotten better in a short amount of time because of the way he approaches his job, and that’s all you can ask for at this point in the year.”
Levis has an entirely new offense to learn and new personnel to work with. Derrick Henry left the team after eight seasons to join the Baltimore Ravens, and former Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard is in his place. The team also added Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd, giving Levis two proven receivers to work with.
It’s almost as if Levis is undergoing a second rookie season, but the work he put in last year won’t go unnoticed. Now, it’s officially the Levis era and the Titans have him in position to succeed with his new head coach right behind him each step of the way.

Tennessee’s heat wave flirting with records
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – We’re experiencing our hottest weather since summer 2025.
The hottest weather of the year is having a major impact on Middle Tennesseans. Temperatures have soared well above average during the afternoon and remained unusually high at night for several days. That’s caused thousands across Middle Tennessee and southern Kentucky to temporarily change the way they go about everyday life. The heat has been so significant that temperatures have actually been in record territory.
For example, this past Sunday, Nashville nearly tied the highest minimum temperature ever for the date — 80° set in 1936. Nashville’s low on Sunday was 79.
As for high temperatures, while it was easily the hottest day of the year on Tuesday, Nashville missed that day’s record by nine degrees.
We’ll be closer on Wednesday, missing it by just six degrees.
There’s an even closer approach in line for Thursday. Our forecast for Nashville is 98°. The record high temperature is 101.
Cooler weather will eventually take over. By early next week, we expect highs to return to more seasonable levels — the low 90s.

Former Tennessee baseball pitcher Garrett Stallings called up by Milwaukee Brewers
Former Tennessee baseball pitcher Garrett Stallings was called up by the Milwaukee Brewers on June 30.
Stallings, 28, likely will make his major league debut against the Cincinnati Reds on June 30 in the second game of the Brewers’ four-game homestand.
Stallings played at Tennessee from 2017 to 2019 in the early years of Tony Vitello’s stint at the Vols’ head coach. He earned a starting role as a freshman and became the ace by his junior season.
In 2019, the Los Angeles Angels selected Stallings in the fifth round of the MLB draft. He bounced around in the minors before landing firmly in Triple-A with the Norfolk Tides, and later the Brewers’ affiliate Nashville Sounds, in 2024.
Stallings posted a 3-3 record with the Sounds in 2026 with a 3.45 ERA and 59 strikeouts in 62⅔ innings.
He will be the 54th player in Tennessee history to reach the major leagues and the 12th since 2020. He will join left-hander Garrett Crochet (2020); right-hander Ben Joyce (2023); infielder Andre Lipcius (2023); IF Trey Lipscomb (2024); outfielder Jordan Beck (2024); RHP Seth Halvorsen (2024); RHP Chase Dollander (2025); RHP Blade Tidwell (2025); INF Christian Moore (2025); OF Drew Gilbert (2025); and RHP Chad Dallas (2026).
Dallas made his debut for the Toronto Blue Jays on June 4.
