The Giants may not have gotten the Buffalo Bills offensive assistant they were most rumored to be hot on, but they apparently got at least one.
Per SNY’s Ralph Vacchiano, the Giants are hiring Shea Tierney, the Bills’ assistant quarterbacks coach, to be the new quarterbacks coach for Big Blue.
Tierney joined the Bills as an offensive assistant in 2018, and has served as Ken Dorsey’s assistant QB coach for the last two seasons. He began his coaching career as a graduate assistant (2011-13) at NC State, and spent three seasons as a football analyst with the Eagles and two as an offensive analyst under then-Alabama OC Daboll with the Crimson Tide before joining the Bills.
Dorsey was rumored to be new Giants head coach Brian Daboll’s choice to come to New York has his offensive coordinator, but that idea was dashed when the Bills promoted Dorsey from QB coach into Daboll’s old role as offensive coordinator earlier this week.
Among other staffing notes, Vacchiano has also reported that the Giants are bringing back special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey, and have reached out to Bills offensive line coach Bobby Johnson about filling the same role for Big Blue.

The Giants have also made it known that they hope to retain defensive coordinator Patrick Graham if he does not get a head coaching gig, and the team is reportedly down to three finalists – Pep Hamilton, Mike Kafka, and Chad O’Shea – for the OC spot according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
