Coaching career
Galiano started his coaching career in 2001 as an Outside linebacker coach at Division III, Dickinson.[8] The following season, Galiano coached the same position but this time at Division II, New Haven.[9] From there Galiano switched to the other side of the ball to become an offensive assistant at the FCS level, Villanova University.[8] In 2003, Galiano began his first stint with the Rutgers Scarlet Knights and Head Coach Greg Schiano, as a graduate assistant.[8] The following three seasons at Rutgers Galiano coached linebackers (2004) and defensive ends (2005-2006). He then served as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Florida International from 2007-2009.[10] Rejoining Rutgers and Head Coach Greg Schiano,[11] Galiano coached tight ends in 2010 and the defensive line in 2011 for the Scarlet Knights.[12] After 12 years at the collegiate level, Galiano followed Greg Schiano to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the NFL.[13] He was added as an assistant special teams coach for the 2012 and 2013 seasons.[14] In 2014, Galiano returned to Rutgers for a third time as Head Coach Kyle Flood's director of recruiting operations.[8] He spent the 2015 season as the Scarlet Knights special teams coordinator and tight ends coach.[15][16] At the conclusion of the 2015 season, Head Coach Kyle Flood was fired and Chris Ash was named Rutgers new head coach.[17] Galiano was not retained for the 2016 season,[18] which led to his return to the NFL to join the Miami Dolphins as a special teams intern.[9] Galiano is currently with the Penn State Nittay Lions serving as their special teams coordinator and assistant defensive line coach.[9] Galiano was a defensive consultant for the Nittany Lions in 2017.[19]
