Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll has frequently been named as a favorite to land the New York Giants head coach position. That may not be the case after all, with another team poised to swoop in.
League sources believe that Daboll is favored to become the head coach of the Miami Dolphins, according to Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. The Giants would likely turn to the likes of Dallas defensive coordinator Dan Quinn or former Dolphins coach Brian Flores if Daboll goes to Miami.
There were a lot of reasons to believe that Daboll was being lined up for the Giants job. After all, someone Daboll is quite familiar with was just hired as New York’s general manager. It made a great deal of sense that Daboll would be targeted as head coach in light of that.
Miami could have some appeal for Daboll. He might be interested in reuniting with Tua Tagovailoa after working with the QB during a single season as Alabama's offensive coordinator. The Dolphins also appear to be closer to contention than the Giants are. Those may be factors in Daboll’s thinking.
