The Los Angeles Chargers are the second team on the board for Brian Daboll’s services.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Bolts requested permission from the Bills to interview the offensive coordinator as the search to find their next head coach began on Monday. Another former Bills offensive coordinator, Anthony Lynn, was fired as the Chargers head coach following the 2020 season.
In 2020, Lynn led the Bolts to a 7-9 record and oversaw rookie QB Justin Herbert’s development into a top prospect. That record also included a four-game winning streak to end the year. Evidently that was not enough to retain his job. Lynn signed a one-year extension this past offseason.
Lynn ends his four-year stint with the Chargers with a 33-31 regular-season record and a 1-1 postseason mark.
Daboll, a western New York native, has been tied to the Chargers’ opening because of Tom Telesco. The Los Angeles general manager is also a western New York native. Both attended St. Francis High School.
Daboll also oversaw the development of Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen in 2020.
As of Tuesday, the only other team to request permission from the Bills to interview Daboll was the Jets.
