Giants hire new director of strength and conditioning

In mid-January, the New York Giants hired Aaron Wellman as their executive director of player performance, replacing Craig Fitzgerald, who left for Florida a month earlier.

On Tuesday, they continued that overhaul, hiring Frank Piraino as their director of strength and conditioning.

Piraino comes to the Giants by way of the Tennessee Titans, where he spent the past five seasons — the last two serving as the team’s director of sports performance, overseeing one of the most injured teams in the league.

The Giants were the fourth-most injured team in the NFL in 2023, just one spot ahead of the Titans at No. 5 overall.

Before joining the Titans, Piraino spent 16 seasons at the high school and college levels, including six years with Boston College and other notable stops with Temple, Notre Dame, and Florida.

Piraino is the latest Titans castoff to join the Giants, who previously hired Shane Bowen as defensive coordinator and Tim Kelly as tight ends coach.
