At long last, former New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll has agreed to become the Tennessee Titans’ offensive coordinator per Jordan Schultz.
In a fun note, Jordan Schultz had it first, but the second person to come out with the news was Jelly Roll.
The Titans had to play the waiting game as Daboll was interviewing for head coaching jobs with the Buffalo Bills and Las Vegas Raiders. The Bills hired Joe Brady as their head coach. The Radiers haven’t hired a coach yet, but Daboll is apparently not getting that job.
For me, Mike McDaniel was the guy that I wanted Robert Saleh to bring with him when he got the job. Once McDaniel took the Los Angeles Chargers OC job, and it was rumored that Daboll wanted this job, I was all in on Daboll. This is a home run hire by Saleh.
Daboll was instrumental in Josh Allen’s development with the Buffalo Bills. Some people want to score Daboll down because he had Allen. Those people don’t remember how rough Allen was when he first came into the league. Daboll has proven he knows how to develop a young quarterback.
Of course, that will be the key to the job with the Titans. They have a young, very talented quarterback in Cam Ward. He just needs to right coaches around him to help him maximize that talent. Daboll is a good start for that.
