Giants head coach Brian Daboll has hired Bills assistant quarterbacks coach Shea Tierney to be the Giants’ new quarterbacks coach, replacing Jerry Schuplinski, who held the role for the last two seasons under former head coach Joe Judge.

The 35-year-old Tierney joined the Buffalo Bills in 2018 as an offensive assistant and was promoted to assistant QBs coach in 2020. Before that, he spent three seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles as an analyst and coaching intern before joining Alabama as an offensive analyst, where he crossed paths with Daboll.

Tierney, a Philadelphia native, was instrumental in helping Bills quarterback Josh Allen finish second in the MVP voting and in setting single-season franchise records for passing touchdowns (37), completions (396), 300-yard games (8), passer rating (107.2), completion percentage (69.2), passing yards (4,544) and total touchdowns (46) in 2020. He's also assisted Allen in becoming one of the top passers in the NFL.

The Giants have also reportedly hired former Bills offensive line coach Bobby Johnson to fill that role on Daboll's new staff.
