John Harbuagh is reportedly adding another former NFL head coach to his Giants coaching staff.
According to multiple reports, the Giants are hiring former Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan a their quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator.
Callahan will work under new Giants offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, who coached the Chicago Bears from 2018-21 and is coming off his second stint as the Kansas City Chiefs’ OC.
The 41-year-old Callahan has found a landing spot after being fired by the Titans just six games into this past season, his second as Tennessee’s head coach. He posted a meager 4-19 record in that role, but, before that, he enjoyed quite a bit of success as the Cincinnati Bengals’ offensive coordinator.
Callahan was with the Bengals from 2019-23. Serving under Zac Taylor, he helped Joe Burrow reach the Super Bowl as a second-year quarterback. Cincinnati ranked top 10 in points per game and passing yards per game in both 2021 and 2022, when the Bengals first made it to the big game and then returned to the AFC championship the following season.
Most recently, Callahan worked with another top overall pick, Cam Ward. Now he’ll be tasked with harnessing the skill set of an additional first-round quarterback from last year’s draft: Jaxson Dart.
Dart impressed during his rookie season after the Giants traded up to select him with the No. 25 overall pick.
Ironically, Dart’s former head coach Brian Daboll is now Cam Ward’s offensive coordinator in Tennessee.
