3 Reasons New York Giants hit it out of the park with Brian Daboll hiring

The New York Giants landed their top target all along, hiring Brian Daboll as the next head coach Friday night 

The New York Giants have finally found their new head coach. This comes in the hiring of former Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, who was arguably the biggest name on the coaching market this offseason.

The hiring of Daboll, while exciting, does not come as a shock to many.

Outside of the Miami Dolphins, who were also in the running for Daboll, the Giants were the clear favorite.

The connection and history between Daboll and new New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen undoubtedly played a role in Daboll choosing to come to New York.

While Daboll rose to prominence as the OC of the Bills, he has long established himself within the football world before that. Between helping lead Alabama to a national championship win, where he coached both Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa; or being a vital piece in Josh Allen becoming Josh Allen, Daboll has done more than enough to get Giants fans excited.

But what exactly makes Brian Daboll the right man for the New York Giants job? Let’s take a look. 

Fresh Offensive Mind

Between failing to reach the endzone, to even failing to move down the field, the New York Giants’ offense has remained stagnant for some time. This should all change with the arrival of Daboll.

Since Daboll took over as the Bills offensive coordinator in 2018, the offense was revitalized. The offense jumped from 30th in scoring in his first season, all the way to third this past season. They averaged 28.4 PPG, 13 more than the Giants.

The creativity that Daboll brings is what makes this such an intriguing hire. The Bills offense often opened up the playbook.

The creativity involved with the offensive play calling would be a drastic but welcomed change considering what the Giants have done in recent seasons.

There is also a chance that Daboll brings Buffalo Bills passing-game coordinator on to become his new offensive coordinator. This pairing could help this offense reach a new level. And it could also help utilize the many weapons that they have on offense.

Ability to unlock a QB

Brian Daboll has been labeled as a quarterback whisperer.

Daboll is given the credit of making Josh Allen become the elite quarterback that he is today. And there is hope that he can do the same to Daniel Jones.

The New York Giants Giants have seemingly committed to Jones, for at least one more season. And while it is unrealistic to believe that Jones can jump to the level of Josh Allen in just one off-season with Daboll, some sort of jump isn’t out of the question.

Jones is 6-5 and 221 pounds; Allen is 6-5 and 237. Both quarterbacks have big arms, can make plays with their legs, and have shown that they are willing to take a hit to gain yards. The main difference between these two is who they’ve had calling plays for them up to this point in their career.

Between the aggressiveness that Daboll calls plays, to the ability that Jones has proven he has, this pairing could be just what the young QB needs.

When utilized correctly, Jones has shown that he is a capable quarterback. The inconsistency that the Giants front office has had hasn’t helped Jones fulfill his full potential. A coach like Daboll should provide Jones with just that.

History with Joe Schoen

Daboll’s history with Joe Schoen should also help serve as a reason why he’s a good choice for the job.

Schoen’s decision to leave Buffalo and bring Schoen along should also speak to how Daboll is regarded.

The New York Giants had their pick of coaches, and Daboll seemingly had his pick of jobs. This pairing is clearly a solid choice between both parties

Daboll’s past history within scouting, alongside Schoen’s draft analysis, is something that could also be discussed when looking at this pairing. Both Daboll and Schoen played a role in both drafting the pieces on the Bills, and also going out and signing players that could be utilized on that team.

With a history of scouting, Daboll will more than likely play a large role in the analysis of the players that the Giants choose to draft in this year’s upcoming draft.

While the Giants haven’t had multiple high draft picks in recent years, they have typically picked players that turned out to not be great fits within the team. Both Daboll and Schoen know what a good offense should look like. This pairing should be able to help the Giants achieve this.
