Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll interviewed for the Cleveland Browns coaching vacancy on Monday.
He is being given a moderate chance of being named the next coach of the franchise, according to SportsBetting.ag. However, there are a few favorites ahead of him.
Here’s the full breakdown:
- Josh McDaniels (Patriots): 2/1
- Robert Saleh (49ers): 3/1
- Kevin Stefanski (Vikings): 7/1
- Lincoln Riley (U of Oklahoma): 7/1
- Eric Birnemy (Chiefs): 13/2
- Greg Roman (Ravens): 9/1
- Urban Meyer (Free agent/ college): 10/1
- Brian Daboll (Bills): 12-1
- Marvin Lewis (Free agent/ NFL): 12/1
- Mike LaFleur (49ers): 12/1
- Dan Campbell (Saints): 14/1
- Jim Schwartz (Eagles): 16/1
Buffalo’s offense has improved modestly during Daboll’s tenure in western New York, as the team’s scoring offense has bumped up to 23rd this past season. The Bills were ranked 27th in the category in 2017, the year leading up to Daboll’s arrival. The offense has improved its total yards per game figure as well, improving to 24th from 29th during this time. Daboll’s work with second-year quarterback Josh Allen has also piqued the interest of teams around the league, as his play-calling has focused on the strengths of his young quarterback while attempting to help Allen to limit mistakes on the field.
The list also contains two familiar names to Bills fans. Greg Roman was the Bills offensive coordinator under Rex Ryan during the 2015 and 2016 seasons. Jim Schwartz was Buffalo’s defensive coordinator in 2014, with the unit finishing fourth in both points allowed per game and yards allowed per game. The Bills led the NFL with 54 sacks under Schwartz.
