Andy Bischoff, who has extensive coaching experience at the NFL, CFL and high school levels, is in his second season as the Giants' tight ends coach.
In 2022, Bischoff's largely unheralded tight ends were important contributors in the Giants' turnaround season. The group was led by rookie fourth-round draft choice Daniel Bellinger, who finished fifth on the team with 30 receptions, for 268 yards and two touchdowns, despite playing in just 12 games. He also rushed for a touchdown and scored another in the Giants' NFC Wild Card victory in Minnesota.
Bischoff joined the Giants after spending the 2021 season coaching the Houston Texans' tight ends. His top three players – Jordan Akins, Pharaoh Brown and Brevin Jordan – combined for 67 catches for 563 yards and three touchdowns.
From 2015-20, Bischoff coached in a variety of roles on the Baltimore Ravens' staff, working with the tight ends in his final four seasons. With Bischoff, Mark Andrews became the first tight end in Ravens history with multiple seasons of at least 700 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. Among NFL tight ends from 2019-20, Andrews totaled the most receiving touchdowns (17), fourth-most receiving yards (1,553) and fifth-most receptions (122). In 2019, Andrews, who led the team with 64 receptions, 852 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns, earned his first career Pro Bowl selection.
Bischoff's tight ends group was instrumental in blocking for a Ravens rushing attack that led the NFL in 2019 (206.0 yards-per-game) and 2020 (191.9).
In Baltimore, Bischoff first crossed paths with current Giants tight end Darren Waller. Bischoff was instrumental in Waller's transition from wide receiver to tight end, and the two stayed in touch during Waller's four-plus seasons with the Raiders.
Bischoff entered the NFL in 2013 as the Chicago Bears' tight ends coach/staff coordinator. In 2014, Bischoff tutored a group led by Martellus Bennett, who finished first in receptions (90) and third in receiving yards (916) among NFL tight ends and earned a Pro Bowl selection.
Bischoff spent five seasons with the CFL's Montreal Alouettes as the running backs/special teams coordinator/assistant to the head coach (2010-12) and the running backs/offensive quality control coach (2008-09). In 2012, the Alouettes finished first in the CFL's East Division and the year prior, Bischoff helped guide Brandon Whitaker to career highs in rushing yards (1,381), receiving yards (638), catches (72) and touchdowns (5). Montreal won consecutive Grey Cups in 2009-10.
In his first coaching role, Bischoff coached at Cretin-Derham Hall High School in St. Paul, Minn. where he won 168 of 190 games and one state title (1999) during his 15 seasons with the Raiders. Bischoff coached 18 offensive linemen and three tight ends that received Division I scholarships, including former Ravens center Matt Birk, former Broncos tackle Ryan Harris and the Cardinals' 2012 first-round draft choice, wide receiver Michael Floyd.
Bischoff earned his bachelor's in education from the University of South Dakota in Vermillion, S.D., where he was a three-year letterman at center. He received a post master's license in administration from St. Mary's University in 2006 after earning a master's degree in education administration from Mankato State University in 1998.
Bischoff and his wife, Britt, have two daughters, Makena and Morgan, and a son, Jay.
