Galiano started his coaching career in 2001 as an Outside linebacker coach at Division III, Dickinson.[3] The following season, Galiano coached the same position but this time at Division II, New Haven.[4] From there Galiano switched to the other side of the ball to become an offensive assistant at the FCS level, Villanova University.[3] In 2003, Galiano began his first stint with the Rutgers Scarlet Knights and head coach Greg Schiano, as a graduate assistant.[3] 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.[5] Rejoining Rutgers and head coach Greg Schiano,[6] Galiano coached tight ends in 2010 and the defensive line in 2011 for the Scarlet Knights.[7] After 12 years at the collegiate level, Galiano followed Greg Schiano to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the NFL.[8] He was added as an assistant special teams coach for the 2012 and 2013 seasons.[9] In 2014, Galiano returned to Rutgers for a third time as head coach Kyle Flood's director of recruiting operations.[3] He spent the 2015 season as the Scarlet Knights special teams coordinator and tight ends coach.[10][11] At the conclusion of the 2015 season, head coach Kyle Flood was fired and Chris Ash was named Rutgers new head coach.[12] Galiano was not retained for the 2016 season,[13] which led to his return to the NFL to join the Miami Dolphins as a special teams intern.[4] Galiano spent two seasons with the Penn State Nittay Lions serving as a defensive consultant in 2017 and their special teams coordinator and assistant defensive line coach in 2018.[4][14][15][16] On February 15, 2019 it was announced that Galiano would be leaving Penn State to become an assistant special teams coach with the New Orleans Saints.[17]
