Former New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll has emerged as an attractive candidate for both offensive coordinator and head coaching vacancies this offseason.
Following his stint with the Giants, where his record worsened each season, it was difficult to imagine him receiving interviews for head coaching positions. Yet Daboll has interviewed for multiple head coaching vacancies as he searches for his next role.

Daboll was among the first candidates to draw interest for the head coaching position with the Buffalo Bills, and on Saturday, the former Giants head coach interviewed for one of the remaining head coaching vacancies.
Daboll’s prior connection with Josh Allen and the Bills organization may give him an edge for that role. His interview with the Las Vegas Raiders, however, is a clear indication that front offices remain impressed with Daboll and are interested in what he can offer.
Daboll also interviewed for the head coaching position with the Tennessee Titans before the team hired Robert Saleh. Although he did not land that job, there is a strong possibility that Daboll could secure the Titans’ offensive coordinator role if he does not obtain a head coaching position.

Daboll was relieved of his duties during the season after another disappointing start, prompting many to question whether he would ever land another head coaching job. He has spoken positively about the Giants organization and, in doing so, provided a strong endorsement for candidates interviewing for the Giants’ head coaching vacancy — including the one the team ultimately hired, John Harbaugh.
As Daboll continues his search for his next opportunity, it has become evident that there remains significant interest in the former head coach’s services.
