The Tennessee Titans are making swift moves to reshape their offensive identity-and it’s starting to look a lot like Brian Daboll’s old blueprint.
Just a day after bringing in the former Giants head coach to serve as their new offensive coordinator, the Titans are doubling down on familiarity and cohesion by adding two more key pieces to the puzzle: quarterbacks coach Shea Tierney and offensive line coach Carmen Bricillo. Both hires are deeply rooted in Daboll’s coaching tree, and both bring a clear vision of how this offense is going to operate moving forward.
Let’s start with Tierney. This isn’t just a coach Daboll trusts-it’s someone who’s been in lockstep with him for years.
Tierney followed Daboll from Alabama to Buffalo, then to New York, and now to Tennessee. That kind of continuity matters, especially when you’re trying to install a complex offensive system and need someone who already speaks the language fluently.
Tierney’s most recent work came with the Giants, where he coached up Daniel Jones, helped steady Tommy DeVito during a chaotic season, and got a look at Jackson Dart. He’s been in the trenches, working with a variety of quarterback styles, and that versatility is going to be crucial as the Titans evaluate their own QB situation heading into 2026.
Then there’s Bricillo, a respected offensive line mind who brings a tough, detail-oriented approach. He’s coached in New England and Las Vegas, and also spent time with Daboll on the Giants’ staff.
What stands out about Bricillo is his ability to develop talent and get the most out of his unit, regardless of the circumstances. That’s exactly the kind of presence the Titans need up front.
Their young offensive line started to show real promise late last season, and with Bricillo’s guidance, that group could take another big step forward.
These hires aren’t just about familiarity-they’re about building a cohesive, aligned offensive staff that can hit the ground running. Tierney and Bricillo know what Daboll wants, and more importantly, they know how to teach it. That’s going to help streamline the install process and accelerate the development of this offense.
Both coaches will join holdovers Randy Jordan and Luke Stocker on the offensive staff, giving the Titans a blend of continuity and fresh perspective. With Daboll at the helm and his trusted lieutenants by his side, Tennessee’s offense is starting to take shape-and it’s clear they’re betting on synergy, experience, and a shared vision to drive this next chapter.
