Well, that was quick. Tight ends coach Andy Bischoff left the New York Giants to join the Chargers. Enter Tim Kelly. Ironically he also comes from the Tennessee Titans (he and Shane Bowen will be reunited). Like Bowen, Kelly is one of the younger coaches on the Giants staff at just 37 years old. He also served as the offensive coordinator for Tennessee this past season.
