He started out with Daboll as an offensive assistant at Alabama in the college ranks while Daboll was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2017. Tierney then joined Daboll when he went and took over as the Buffalo Bills' offensive coordinator for four seasons, 2018-21, and then when he became the Giants' head coach in 2022. He served under Daboll as an offensive assistant for two years, 2018-19, then was the assistant quaterbacks coach for the following two seasons, 2020-21.

Jones then played in just six games in 2023 and had a 1-5 record, due to a neck injury after taking a number of hits from poor offensive line play, and then a torn ACL ended his season. The Giants, who just signed Jones to a four-year, $160 million contract extension that prior offseason, ended with a 6-11 record. Jones again struggled in 2024, with a 2-8 record and just eight touchdowns to seven interceptions, leading Daboll to bench him for quarterback Tommy Devito before releasing Jones after he requested it.Jan 4, 2026; Jacksonville, Florida, USA; Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward throws a pass before the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Morgan Tencza-Imagn Images | Morgan Tencza-Imagn Images Ward started all 17 games as a rookie this past season, completing 59.8% of his passes for 3,168 yards and 15 touchdowns to seven interceptions. Tierney will work with Daboll as they try and give Ward more protection, as he took 55 sacks, tied for the most taken in the NFL. Ward also fumbled the ball 11 times and lost it seven times as well, with ball security another point of focus for the duo. Ward showed signs that he can compete at this level, but Tierney and Daboll will have to work to get him to that spot in the near future.
