NFL Rumors: 5 Landing Spots For Brian Daboll After Firing By Giants

After a 20-40-1 run in New York, the veteran play-caller Brian Daboll still brings a strong resume built on quarterback development in Buffalo and title-winning experience at Alabama. 

Whether he jumps right back as a head coach, coordinates an offense that needs an upgrade, or takes a senior assistant role, several destinations make sense immediately. These are the five best fits based on relationships, scheme needs, and timing.

Quarterback growth is Daboll’s calling card, and that will drive interest. Teams with young passers or contenders seeking fresh eyes on an uneven attack should be in the front row.

Buffalo Bills

A reunion writes itself. The Buffalo Bills offense surged under Brian Daboll from 2018 to 2021, and Josh Allen has credited him as a formative influence. If Joe Brady departs or the organization wants a senior offensive advisor, Buffalo is the cleanest landing, pairing trust, system familiarity, and an immediate path to impact.

Tennessee Titans

The Tennessee Titans have a clear opening and a young quarterback who needs a builder. Whether as head coach or offensive coordinator under a new regime, Daboll’s structure and QB teaching could stabilize an offense that has flashed but not been able to get anything consistent going.

New England Patriots

History matters in Foxborough. The New England Patriots know Daboll well from his two stints on staff and could add him as a senior offensive assistant to support a developing quarterback room.

Atlanta Falcons

If the Atlanta Falcons keep their defensive-minded head coach but change play-callers, Daboll checks every box. Atlanta needs answers on offense and a veteran coordinator who can raise the floor while maximizing their weapon set.

Penn State Nittany Lions

A blue-blood college job offers resources, recruiting reach, and instant credibility. Penn State needs offensive juice and a splash that energizes boosters and the portal. Daboll’s Alabama title season and NFL stature would resonate with quarterbacks and transfers, while a strong staff could help navigate NIL and roster management.
