Bill Callahan (American football coach)

William E. Callahan (born July 31, 1956) is an American football coach who most recently served as the offensive line coach for the Tennessee Titans of the National Football League (NFL). He was the head coach of the Oakland Raiders in 2002 and 2003, leading them to Super Bowl XXXVII, where the Raiders lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 48–21.
