Brian Daboll expected to be Titans OC if he doesn’t get the Bills head coach job

Mike McDaniel is headed to the Los Angeles Chargers to be their offensive coordinator. It’s hard to say if he was Robert Saleh’s first choice to be the Tennessee Titans’ OC, but he was my first choice. He’s off the board now, so the show must move on.

Brian Daboll expected to land in Tennessee

Russini followed up her earlier reporting to say that Daboll is expected to land in Tennessee if he doesn’t get the Bills job:

The Eagles are conducting their offensive coordinator search with the understanding that Brian Daboll wants the Bills’ head coaching job. If he doesn’t land it, Daboll is expected to wind up in Tennessee as the offensive coordinator for Cam Ward and the Titans, per sources.

Dianna Russini, who astutely pointed out last night that the Titans’ OC job is still open, said today that the Titans and Philadelphia Eagles are pushing hard to hire Brian Daboll as their OC.

Brian Daboll is expected to have several options at offensive coordinator. The Titans and Eagles aren’t the only teams pushing hard to land him and now, with Buffalo showing interest in him for head coach, teams will have to wait to see how Buffalo’s moves play out.

Daboll is expected to interview for the Buffalo Bills head coaching job. Daboll was the OC in Buffalo before getting the head coaching job with the New York Giants. He had a lot of success there in his last two seasons with two top-three offenses. The Titans will have to at least wait until he is out of the running there.

I like the idea of Saleh bringing in an OC who has been a head coach before. That would allow Saleh to spend more time focused on all of the things that he needs to be focused on as a head coach and coaching the defense.
