The New York Giants have reportedly requested permission to interview a second Indianapolis Colts coach, and a second former Giants backup quarterback, for their vacant offensive coordinator position.
Tanney played in only two games and threw just 15 passes in an NFL career that began in 2012 and ended in 2020. Tanney spent 2018-2020 with the Giants, and then retired to go into coaching.
Tanney joined the Philadelphia Eagles’ coaching staff in 2021 as an offensive quality control coach. He stayed with the Eagles through the 2023 season, advancing to become the team’s quarterbacks coach. He spent the last two seasons as passing game coordinator for the Colts.
