Brian Daboll Interviews for Eagles’ Offensive Coordinator Position
As the New York Giants unveiled their new head coach, former Giants head coach Brian Daboll has turned his attention to a pivotal role across the division. Reports indicate that Daboll interviewed with the Philadelphia Eagles for their vacant offensive coordinator position.
Daboll: A Top Candidate for the Eagles
According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Brian Daboll is considered a prime target for the Eagles’ coaching staff. Daboll’s track record and experience make him a strong contender, especially after the Eagles’ struggles last season.
Background on Brian Daboll
Daboll’s coaching resume includes significant roles as an offensive coordinator for several NFL teams:
- Cleveland Browns (2009-2010)
- Miami Dolphins (2011)
- Kansas City Chiefs (2012)
- Buffalo Bills (2018-2021)
Before his tenure with the Giants, he accumulated a record of 20-40-1 and was terminated mid-season in 2025. His most notable success occurred during his time in Buffalo, where he transformed the Bills into a top-10 offense. This success was largely driven by the development of quarterback Josh Allen, making Daboll a sought-after name in coaching circles.
Eagles’ Offensive Struggles
In the wake of their Super Bowl success the previous year, the Eagles experienced a disappointing season, exiting in the wild-card round. A lack of offensive consistency has prompted a change in leadership:
- The team performed poorly, ranking 19th in total offense and 23rd in passing yards.
- Following this string of subpar performances, the Eagles decided to part ways with Kevin Patullo, who had just one year in his role as offensive coordinator.
Head coach Nick Sirianni remarked, “I have decided to make a change at offensive coordinator… Ultimately, when we fall short of our goals, that responsibility lies on my shoulders.”
Other Candidates and Coaching Updates
Recent reports by The Athletic suggested that offseason coaching changes were anticipated, with Daboll and fellow coach Mike McDaniel initially topping the list for the offensive coordinator spot. However, McDaniel has since reconsidered his options, reportedly eyeing the offensive coordinator role with the Los Angeles Chargers instead.
Daboll also interviewed for the Tennessee Titans’ head coaching position before they appointed former Jets coach Robert Saleh.
What’s Up Next for Daboll?
With the Eagles’ interest in Daboll, the stakes are high. Should he secure the role, he could significantly impact the Eagles’ offensive strategy moving forward, especially given the challenges faced last season.
Conclusion
Brian Daboll’s pursuit of the Eagles’ offensive coordinator position highlights his continued relevance in NFL coaching after his tenure with the Giants. His experience and offensive acumen could be a game-changer for the Eagles as they look to rebound from a disappointing season.
