Who can guarantee that this Bills OC is going to be better than the one we already have?

1) After a few years at the collegiate level with William & Mary and Michigan State, Daboll has spent the better part of the last two decades in the NFL across six teams, making stops with New England (2000-06, 2013-16), the New York Jets (2007-08), Cleveland (2009-10), Miami (2011), Kansas City (2012), and in his offensive coordinator role with Buffalo since 2018. He reunited with Nick Saban as part of his national championship staff at Alabama in 2017 as co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. His lone defensive assistant role was with the Patriots as an assistant from 2000-01. Since then, he has been on the offensive side of the ball, taking on the coordinator position with the Browns, Dolphins, Chiefs and the Bills.

2) Born in Welland, Ontario, and a former safety at the University of Rochester, Daboll won five Super Bowls, all coming with the Patriots (2001, 2003-04, 2014, 2016). The 2004 championship saw Daboll aid Deion Branch to Super Bowl MVP honors, the first time in 16 years a wide receiver won that award.

Daboll's got 5 Super Bowl rings already w/ Belichick, plus a 6th NCAA National Championship w/ Saban.

“Yeah, I did,” he said. “I didn’t want to stay up that late, but I couldn’t pull myself away from it. What a football game. Two great teams, a great game, just a tremendous football game. I’m happy for Coach [Nick] Saban, Coach [Brian] Daboll, all of the people at Alabama. A great competitive effort from Georgia and Coach [Kirby] Smart and his staff. Yeah, it was a great football game.”

- Coach Bill Belichick

Daboll's got 6 rings. Time to let him run his own machine in Los Angeles.

Eric Mangini will never forget the interview, in the 2000 offseason, when a young applicant for a position on the New England Patriots’ coaching staff took his seat at a conference table. This was an entry level job, an assistant to an assistant who would handle assorted menial tasks, who would be expected to put in ungodly hours for god-awful pay. “We used to call them ‘20/20 guys,’ ” former Patriots offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia said. “Twenty hours a day for $20,000 a year.” Yet, the Pats thought it was important enough for the 24-year-old candidate to be interrogated by the entire coaching staff, including head coach Bill Belichick.

But Brian Daboll, who had spent the previous two seasons as a graduate assistant for Nick Saban’s Michigan State football team, never flinched.

Twenty years later, Mangini, who was the Patriots’ defensive backs coach at the time, still marvels at how well Daboll handled himself. “Brian came in and blew us away with the amount of detail not only that he knew about the organization, but that he knew about the coaching staff, that he knew about the system, that he knew about the way things worked,” Mangini said by phone. “And that, to me, is indicative of his whole personality.”

Just as then, Daboll remains detail oriented and always prepared, now five games into his third season as offensive coordinator of the Buffalo Bills, his fourth opportunity to be an NFL offensive coordinator and the longest he has been with any team in that role. He spent 2009 and '10 with the Cleveland Browns, 2011 with the Miami Dolphins and 2012 with the Kansas City Chiefs.

In between, he spent four years in New England, one as an offensive assistant and three as tight ends coach, and a year with national champion Alabama as co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.

Daboll’s ability to call plays is only part of what will make him an attractive head-coaching candidate after the season. For now, with the Bills, his evolution as a coordinator and a play-caller has been a crucial ingredient in the Bills’ 4-1 start.

As Daboll likes to say, “Plays are plays,” but it’s more than knowing what to call when.

^^^ good read. Seems like what we need as HC. Nice resume, detail oriented and always prepared, more importantly knows when to call plays. Hopefully we don’t miss out on him.

[Xenos]

I prefer him to McDaniels that’s for sure. Only weirdness is hiring another Buffalo Bill OC as our HC lol.

[CivilBolt]

At least he has a better experience than Lynn. Lynn’s experience is mostly as RB coach.
