Callahan was asked Wednesday about the idea that he’s coaching a “soft” team, and he went on a nearly two-minute rant in an attempt to silence the critics.
“You really want to get me started today? To be honest, I think that’s complete bulls—, if you want my honest opinion,” Callahan began. “These guys are tough guys, man. They go after it every day, they play really hard. At no point this season have we ever put it on tape that this is a soft football team. I can’t even imagine that that would even be a conversation.

“There is no possible explanation to say that this team is soft in any way, mentally or physically. The way they do their job is an insult to me, to them, to everyone who works here.
