Brian Daboll hired as new Giants head coach

The Bills offensive coordinator was asked for a second interview with the Dolphins and with the Saints for their head coaching vacancies, Tom Pelissero reported.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll will be the next coach of the New York Giants, where he will be reunited with the recently-hired new general manager and former Bills assistant GM Joe Schoen, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Daboll was also asked for a second interview with the Dolphins and with the Saints for their head coaching vacancies, as NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports.

"Sean and I have talked about a list of candidates," Bills general manager Brandon Beane said. "If you lose Brian Daboll, if you lose Leslie Frazier, the rules are such, no matter what, you have to interview from the outside for the coordinator positions. We will follow those rules. We have a list of some guys, but we have to wait, we are in a wait-and-see mode."

It's good to see they put together a list. I think on offense it's clear Bills quarterbacks coach Ken Dorsey would be the favorite to take over with his familiarity of the offense and development of Josh Allen.

Allen said this week that he would hope that Dorsey would be in the conversation if they needed to make a move. 

As far as the defense, coordinator Frazier interviewed for the Giants, Dolphins, and Bears jobs. Chicago named former Colts defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus its head coach on Thursday.
