The Cincinnati Bengals could lose one of their coordinators this offseason, as offensive coordinator Brian Callahan has proven to be a popular name in head coach searches. Callahan has been with the Bengals since he joined Zac Taylor's staff as the offensive coordinator in 2019. It's been a role that he's held onto ever since.
A bit of a knock on Callahan is that Taylor is the one who predominantly calls the plays but that hasn't stopped Callahan from getting head coaching interviews last year and this year. Who all has he interviewed with, as of this writing?

Several days after the Bengals' season ended, Callahan had interviews lined up with four different teams, including the Chargers, Falcons, Panthers, and Titans.
#Bengals OC Brian Callahan, who has requests to interview for four of the open jobs, will speak with the #Titans tomorrow and #Chargers on Tuesday, sources say.

The #Panthers and #Falcons will also be on the docket.
Here's a tweet from the Panthers side of things.
The Panthers aren’t wasting any time. They’ve requested interviews with nine head coaching candidates, six of whom come from an offensive background. Maybe a coincidence, but note who the team listed at the top. pic.twitter.com/LI9T3lpZLG

As of this writing, Callahan has not spoken to the Commanders, Raiders, or Seahawks. Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo has not interviewed for any vacant head coaching jobs at this time.
