The New York Giants have found their next head coach and their GM Joe Schoen is bringing him with him from Buffalo.
Brian Daboll is going to come from Western New York to the Big Apple.
His work with Josh Allen has turned the Buffalo Bills’ quarterback into one of the elite in the NFL.
The deal is either done or about to get done, depending on what insider’s word you take when it comes to NFL news.

The Giants’ pursuit was sped up because of the New Orleans Saints and Miami Dolphins’ interest in Daboll, per Tom Pelissero.
Not only were the #Dolphins after Brian Daboll — the #Saints asked him to interview for their head coaching vacancy as well, per source.
Instead, the #Giants moved swiftly after interviews ended today to wrap up Daboll, who reunites with GM Joe Schoen.

Daboll replaces Joe Judge, who went 10-23 and was fired after two seasons. He was the third consecutive Giants coach to be fired after two seasons or less, following Ben McAdoo (13-15) and Pat Shurmur (9-23).
Daboll was quarterbacks coach for the New York Jets in 2007-08. Gang Green will now see him coaching the team with which it shares MetLife Stadium.
He came to the Bills in 2018 after spending a season on Nick Saban’s staff at Alabama in 2017.
He has been part of five Super Bowl championships through his time in New England and has been a part of coaching staffs with six NFL teams.
This is his first NFL head coaching jobs.
