LAS VEGAS — Yes, the Giants did indeed add an offensive coordinator.
It is Tim Kelly, who is the new tight ends coach, hired Tuesday by Brian Daboll. Kelly was the Titans’ offensive coordinator in 2023.
Kelly, 37, replaces Andy Bischoff, who left the Giants on Monday to work with Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers.
A day after Daboll named Shane Bowen the Giants’ new defensive coordinator, he again looked to the Titans to add to his staff.
Kelly has been an NFL coach for 10 years and has been an offensive coordinator for two different teams.
He coached tight ends in 2017 and 2018 for the Texans before Bill O’Brien promoted Kelly to offensive coordinator in 2019.
He added quarterbacks coach to his responsibilities in 2020.
In 2022, Mike Vrabel brought Kelly to the Titans as the passing game coordinator and elevated him to offensive coordinator last season.
In 2022, Kelly worked with the tight ends in Tennessee, installed the passing attack on first and second downs and helped in red zone preparation.
The Titans’ tight ends ranked seventh in the NFL with 952 receiving yards, led by rookie Chig Okonkwo, a fourth-round draft pick.
As the Texans’ offensive coordinator in 2021, Kelly helped rookie quarterback Davis Mills set a franchise rookie record with 2,664 passing yards. Mills also led the league that year with a red zone passer rating of 116.8.

Kelly was a defensive tackle at Eastern Illinois. His younger brother, Dennis, spent five seasons with the Titans as an offensive lineman and played one game in 2023 for the Jets.
Kelly with the Giants will try to find a way to keep tight end Darren Waller healthy while also continuing in the development of Daniel Bellinger.
