Tight ends coach Tim Kelly will be the new offensive coordinator moving forward, interim head coach Mike Kafka announced before Wednesday's practice as the Giants begin preparations for the Packers.
Kafka, who was the assistant head coach/offensive coordinator before Brian Daboll was relieved of his duties, will continue to call plays.
Kelly has twice been an offensive coordinator in his 11-year NFL coaching career and is in his second season as the Giants' tight ends coach.
Prior to the Giants, Kelly spent two seasons with the Tennessee Titans, the first as the team's passing game coordinator and then the offensive coordinator. Prior to arriving in Tennessee, he spent eight seasons with the Houston Texans, including three seasons as their offensive coordinator.
Kelly entered the NFL in 2014 as the Texans' offensive quality control coach and added assistant offensive line duties in 2016. He served as tight ends coach from 2017 to 2018, and in 2019, he was promoted to offensive coordinator, a title he held through 2021 while also coaching quarterbacks in 2020. During his tenure, the Texans won four AFC South titles.
A native of Chicago Heights, Ill., Kelly starred at Marian Catholic High School, where he is a member of the East Suburban Catholic Conference Hall of Fame.
His brother, Dennis, was an offensive lineman in the NFL for 12 seasons.
