Giants hiring ex-Titans director of sports performance Frank Piraino

The Tennessee Titans revealed 21 members of their 2024 coaching staff on Tuesday, which included some holdovers from former head coach Mike Vrabel’s staff.

But one name not included in the list was director of sports performance, Frank Piraino.

As it turns out, he won’t be returning to the Titans and has instead been hired by the New York Giants as their director of strength and conditioning, according to ESPN’s Jordan Raanan and Turron Davenport.

Piraino was first hired by the Titans in 2019 as the strength and conditioning coach and was promoted to director of sports performance in 2022.

Seeing as how New York has dealt with so many injuries over the last few years, Giants fans won’t be happy to know that the Titans have been one of the most injured teams in the NFL the last three seasons.

No team in the NFL fielded more players in 2021 and 2022 than the Titans, and Tennessee was the fifth-most injured team in the league in 2023, falling one spot behind the Giants.

Piraino is just the latest former Titan to join Big Blue, with the team also hiring former Tennessee defensive coordinator Shane Bowen to the same role, and former offensive coordinator Tim Kelly as tight ends coach.
