The Buffalo Bills are in the market for a new head coach after the team fired Sean McDermott on Monday.
The firing of McDermott wasn't too much of a surprise, although the team keeping general manager Brandon Beane in the wake of firing McDermott was shocking considering the big hand he played in the Bills' disappointing season.
While he did post a very good.662 win percentage over nine seasons, McDermott also failed to get the Bills over the hump to a Super Bowl despite having an elite quarterback and a perennially elite team.
As the Bills search for McDermott's replacement, Roto Baller's Andy Smith predicts Buffalo will hire former offensive coordinator and former New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll.
"This will be one of the most coveted jobs on the market with superstar QB Josh Allen under center," Smith stated. "While the current offensive coordinator, Joe Brady, will be considered for this title, expect the Bills to bring in a former head coach, Brian Daboll."
"From 2018 through 2021, Daboll led Buffalo to holding a top-5 scoring offense in two seasons and was even named the 2020 AP Assistant Coach of the Year," Smith added.
As Smith points out, Daboll was highly effective as the Bills' offensive coordinator and played a huge role in the development of Josh Allen, who turned into an elite quarterback on Daboll's watch.
After the 2020 season, Daboll was voted the AP Assistant Coach of the Year in 2020.
Then, in his first year with the Giants as head coach in 2022, Daboll was voted the AP Coach of the Year after an impressive 9-7-1 season that led to a playoff win.
Things went off the rails for Daboll in the years that followed, though, and a ton of losing and dysfunction led to him getting canned 10 games into the 2025 campaign.
While his ugly tenure in New York would seem to indicate he won't get a another head-coach job, at least this soon, it's a different story when it comes to the Bills.
Daboll has already proven to be an excellent fit in Buffalo, and we know that Allen loves him, which will play an important role in who the Bills hire next. We couldn't see Daboll getting another opportunity anywhere but Buffalo.
If the Bills do hire Daboll, they can only hope he has learned from his many mistakes as Giants head coach.
