Ahmed Saleh and Robert Saleh are cousins.<\/p>\n

Bricillo was the Giants\u2019 offensive line coach the last two seasons. Tierney was the Giants\u2019 quarterback coach for the last four seasons. Lewis coached the Baltimore Ravens\u2019 receivers from 2023-25.<\/p>\n

Whitecotton was the New York Jets\u2019 defensive line coach from 2021-24 and had the same role with the Cowboys in 202. Manuel was the Jets\u2019 defensive backs\/safeties coach from 2021-24 and was the Giants\u2019 secondary coach in 2025.
