Former New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll is back in the spotlight as he prepares for interviews on the coaching circuit. NFL insider Jordan Schultz has reported that Daboll is scheduled to interview for the vacant head coaching position with the Tennessee Titans on Friday.
In addition to the Titans opportunity, Daboll is also being considered for various offensive coordinator roles across the league. This suggests that multiple teams may see potential in the coach who previously earned Coach of the Year honors in his debut season with the Giants in 2022, leading the team to an unexpected playoff appearance and even a Wild-Card victory against the Minnesota Vikings.
However, Daboll’s tenure with the Giants has been tumultuous. He was relieved of his duties midseason after the team struggled to a 2-8 record. Over his three and a half seasons with the Giants, Daboll compiled a record of 20 wins, 40 losses, and 1 tie, resulting in a winning percentage of just .336. The team’s performance sharply declined following their playoff success, as they recorded only 11 wins against 33 losses in the subsequent seasons.
Should Daboll secure the head coaching role with the Titans, he would be stepping into a significant position, potentially coaching talented quarterback Cam Ward, who was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Giants had aimed to trade up to select Ward but ultimately chose to focus on different players, which added to the pressure on Daboll’s previous strategies.
Daboll’s coaching history includes a stint as offensive coordinator for teams such as the Cleveland Browns, Miami Dolphins, Kansas City Chiefs, and Buffalo Bills, and he also spent time working under Nick Saban at Alabama. His diverse coaching background may provide him with valuable insights as he seeks to find success in his next position.
The anticipation surrounding Daboll’s interviews suggests that his coaching career could take a positive turn, allowing him to build on his previous successes while potentially bringing new strategies to a different team.
