Brian Daboll's time as the New York Giants head coach is over, as the team fired him on Monday amid another disappointing season.
Daboll ends his Giants tenure with a 20-40-1 record, including 11-33 since 2023, as a once-promising pairing fizzled over time. The veteran offensive coach, who made his name as the offensive coordinator of Alabama and the Buffalo Bills, is an interesting name on the coaching market this offseason.
Whether it's as a potential head coach, offensive coordinator or offensive assistant, Daboll offers teams a plethora of experience in both college and the NFL. Here's a look at five teams that could look to hire Daboll at some point over the next few months.

Daboll was the Bills' offensive coordinator from 2018 to 2021, working with Josh Allen during the quarterback's first four seasons in the NFL. Now that he is free, and the Bills' offense is struggling, Daboll could return to Buffalo in some capacity, whether as a senior assistant or a possible offensive coordinator if Joe Brady leaves in the offseason.

Tennessee Titans
The Tennessee Titans are the only other team in the NFL that has a head coach opening right now, so Daboll could be up for that job if Tennessee is interested. However, it's also possible that the Titans hire a head coach who chooses to bring Daboll along as an offensive coordinator.

New England Patriots
Daboll worked for the New England Patriots from 2000 to 2006 and 2013 to 2016, giving him a significant prior connection with the team. While Josh McDaniels has the Patriots' offense humming at 8-2, the team could bring Daboll in as a senior assistant for the rest of the year.

Atlanta Falcons
The Atlanta Falcons are just 3-6 on the season and have disappointed offensively, which could lead to a possible offensive coordinator change in the offseason. If Atlanta does fire Zac Robinson, but keeps head coach Raheem Morris, Daboll fits the profile of a veteran offensive coordinator for a regime that needs to win.

North Carolina
Daboll coached under Bill Belichick for 11 seasons between 2000 and 2016, so he could joing the North Carolina coaching staff next year. It helps that, in Daboll's lone season as a college coach since 2000, he helped Alabama win a national championship as the Crimson Tide's offensive coordinator.
