The 39-year-old is the son of former Raiders head coach Bill Callahan. He has worked in the NFL since 2010, when he started as an assistant coach with the Denver Broncos. He moved up the chain to become the Broncos' offensive assistant in 2013 and left the position after the 2015 season.

The Detroit Lions hired Callahan as the team's quarterbacks coach for the 2016 and 2017 seasons, and he then served as the Las Vegas Raiders' quarterbacks coach in 2018. In 2019, he was hired to be the offensive coordinator for the Bengals and helped lead the team to a Super Bowl appearance with Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Joe Mixon on the offensive side of the ball.
