Ex-Titans OC Tim Kelly hired by Giants as TEs coach

Yet another former Tennessee Titans coach is heading to the Big Apple.

According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the New York Giants are hiring ex-Titans offensive coordinator Tim Kelly as their tight ends coach.

Kelly now joins former Titans defensive coordinator Shane Bowen, who was hired by Big Blue to the same role — but those aren’t the only former Titans coaches in New York.

The Jets hired former Titans tight ends coach Tony Dews as their running backs coach, and last year Gang Green brought in Keith Carter (offensive line) and Todd Downing (pass-game coordinator).

Kelly’s offense didn’t have much success last season, but he was also plagued by a lack of talent in the unit, especially along the offensive line, which was among the league’s worst in 2023.

Despite that, Tennessee still managed to have a 1,000-yard rusher in Derrick Henry, a 1,000-yard receiver in DeAndre Hopkins, and a pair of rookie standouts in Will Levis and Tyjae Spears.

Unfortunately for Kelly, he didn’t get another opportunity to right the ship in Nashville after former Titans head coach Mike Vrabel was fired.
