In a surprising move, former Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan has joined the New York Giants coaching staff as quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator. Callahan will work under new Giants offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, who was one of the finalists to replace Callahan as Titans OC before the team hired Robert Saleh. The two will also work alongside former Titans defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson, who will coordinate the Giants' defense.

Why it matters

This move reunites several former Titans coaches and players in New York, as the Giants have turned to the Titans' coaching ranks multiple times in recent years to fill key positions. It also represents an opportunity for Callahan to rehabilitate his reputation after a disappointing tenure as Titans head coach, where his offenses struggled with turnovers and questionable decision-making.

The details

Callahan was the Titans' head coach in 2024 and the first six games of 2025, compiling a 4-19 record. His offenses were plagued by mistakes, including reversible calls that went unchallenged and questionable play-calling. He eventually surrendered offensive play-calling duties, but was fired after the team's 1-5 start in 2025. Now, Callahan will get a chance to work with Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart, who spent his rookie season learning under former Giants coach Brian Daboll, who is now the Titans' offensive coordinator.
