With Brady in place, the Bills’ ongoing coaching search is effectively closed for this cycle, and other candidates will need to pursue opportunities elsewhere or remain with their current teams.
One notable name from the Bills’ recent coaching discussions is Brian Daboll, the former Buffalo offensive coordinator from 2018 to 2022 who later led the New York Giants before being dismissed mid-season. Daboll is currently without a job, and his next move has been the subject of industry speculation.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter has reported that Daboll remains in the mix for the Las Vegas Raiders’ head coaching job, but if that position doesn’t come through, the expectation is that he would join the Tennessee Titans as their offensive coordinator. The Titans, who recently named Robert Saleh as head coach, are said to be seeking a strong offensive mind to work with quarterback Cam Ward.
Daboll’s track record includes developing young quarterbacks, notably Josh Allen during his first four seasons, and providing support to rookie Jaxson Dart this past year. While his head-coaching record with the Giants was 20-40-1, proponents argue his ability to nurture young signal-callers could be a valuable asset for a developing offense like Tennessee’s, especially with Ward entering a pivotal phase in his career.
If Daboll chooses the offensive coordinator path with the Titans, the fit could be mutually beneficial: a proven QB developer pairing with Ward, who showed flashes of ability but still has room for consistency. The Titans’ offensive direction under Saleh will be closely watched, as the team looks to capitalize on Ward’s talents while navigating the post-draft landscape.
