Shea Tierney is in his second season as the Giants' quarterbacks coach.
In his first year working with Tierney in 2022, Daniel Jones had the best season of his career, setting a Giants' single season completion percentage record of 67.2 and leading the team to its first postseason berth in six years and an NFC Wild Card victory in Minnesota.
Jones threw for 3,205 yards and rushed for a Giants quarterback-record 708 yards to join Philadelphia's Jalen Hurts and Buffalo's Josh Allen as the only NFL quarterbacks with 3,000+ passing yards and 500+ rushing yards. Jones threw a career-low five interceptions in 2022 to become just the second quarterback in history with 700+ rushing yards and five or fewer interceptions in a season, joining Washington's Robert Griffin III in 2012.
Jones led with NFL and set a franchise record by throwing an interception on just 1.1% of his passes (5 in 472 throws). He led the Giants from deficits of 10+ points to victory three times in the season's first six games, tying him for the highest total by a quarterback in the first six games of a season since 2000.
Prior to joining the Giants, Tierney spent four years working with Brian Daboll on the Buffalo Bills' staff, the first two as an offensive assistant and the last two as the assistant quarterbacks coach.
In those two seasons, Josh Allen was one of the NFL's most productive and successful quarterbacks. The Bills were 27-11 combined in the regular season and postseason, won two AFC East titles and advanced to the 2020 conference championship game. In those 38 games, Allen threw for 10,405 yards and 87 touchdowns. He finished second in the NFL Most Valuable Player voting in 2020.
Tierney joined the Bills in 2018 after spending the previous two seasons as an offensive analyst for the University of Alabama, which was 27-2 when he was on the staff. With the Crimson Tide, he worked closely with Billy Napier, the wide receivers coach in Tierney's first season, who is now the head coach at the University of Florida. In his second season at Alabama, Tierney worked under Daboll, who was the offensive coordinator when the Crimson Tide won the 2017 national championship.
Tierney's first NFL experience was as a football analyst/coaching intern with the Philadelphia Eagles from 2013-15.
His initial coaching position was at North Carolina State as an offensive graduate assistant from 2011-12.
Tierney is a graduate of Neshaminy High School in Langhorne, Pa. and N.C. State. He is married to the former Emily Seng of Macungie, Pa.
