Brian Daboll expected to land OC gig

Daboll, 50, will likely be hired as an offensive coordinator this offseason, according to The Athletic’s Dianna Russini. He has previously held that position for four NFL teams – the Browns, Dolphins, Chiefs, and Bills – as well as the University of Alabama.

He was most successful in Buffalo, building an offense that went from the league’s third-worst in his debut year to a top-5 unit in his third and fourth. He is also credited with molding Josh Allen into one of the league’s best quarterbacks. The foundation established by Daboll has helped the Bills remain one of the top offenses in the league since his departure, though it is worth noting that they have not reached the same peaks as they did during his tenure.

The Giants hoped that Daboll could develop Daniel Jones and inspire a similar offensive turnaround in New York. That has not come to fruition. The team ranked 31st in their final year under Joe Judge and immediately jumped to 15th under Daboll, but regressed to the bottom of the league in the next two years.

Still, Daboll is respected as a top offensive mind in the NFL who could receive interest from teams looking to add and/or develop a potential young franchise quarterback. He also has connections to a variety of other coaches across the league. If one is hired as a head coach by the Titans – or another vacancy, when they come available – Daboll would be a logical choice to come along as the offensive coordinator.
