Giants Reportedly Add Brian Callahan as QB Coach

The Giants are reportedly making a strong move for their young QB room, bringing in former Titans head coach Brian Callahan as quarterbacks coach, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo.

Garafolo reported Tuesday that Callahan was interviewing, and now New York looks ready to add a coach with legit resume power.

Callahan has been around high-level quarterback play for years. He coached QBs in Detroit and Oakland, then ran Cincinnati’s offense from 2019-2023, and most recently served as Tennessee’s head coach from 2024-2025.

Now he joins a Giants staff led by head coach John Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, with a clear mission: help Jaxson Dart level up in Year 2.

Callahan’s track record with quarterbacks is real. In Detroit, Matthew Stafford posted two 4,000-yard seasons while Callahan was QB coach, and the Lions reached the playoffs once during that stretch.

He also worked with Derek Carr in 2018, when Carr threw for 4,049 yards with a 68.9% completion rate, 19 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions.

As Bengals OC, Callahan helped power one of the league’s most dangerous attacks, including back-to-back top-7 scoring seasons in 2021 and 2022, plus two AFC title game trips and a Super Bowl appearance.

His Titans run was rough, no question: 3-14 in 2024, then fired after a 1-5 start in 2025. But even in that stint, he worked with No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward, giving him recent experience developing a young top-end QB talent.

Dart, the No. 25 pick in 2025, showed real promise as a rookie despite chaos around him. He went 4-8 as a starter but completed 63.7% of his passes for 2,272 yards, 15 TDs, and 5 INTs, while adding 487 rushing yards and 9 rushing scores on the way to a fourth-place OROY finish.

Bottom line: stability isn’t guaranteed when a young quarterback is already on his third head coach in two seasons, but New York is at least stacking proven voices around him. Adding Callahan feels like a smart, serious bet on Dart’s development.
