Sean McDermott was as clear as possible when asked whether Brian Daboll will have an opportunity with the Buffalo Bills, effectively saying no. For now, the head coach will remain without a job following his recent exit from the New York Giants.
The report was shared by Ari Meirov on X: “HC Sean McDermott said adding Brian Daboll to their offensive staff is not under consideration right now.” Fans reacted to the post with mixed emotions, some opposing the move and others arguing the Bills desperately need the help.
For those who don’t recall, Daboll was with the Bills from 2018 until 2021 as the offensive coordinator. That was his last job before joining the Giants in 2022. He obviously worked alongside McDermott and is very familiar with the system they run in Buffalo.
How successful was Daboll with the Bills?
During his time as offensive coordinator, Daboll helped the Bills reach the playoffs three times in those four years he was with the franchise. His most successful year came in 2020, when the team reached the AFC Conference Championship Game before losing to the Chiefs.

Sean McDermott’s net worth: How much money does the Buffalo Bills head coach own?
Daboll is not just any coach; he is a veteran who holds five Super Bowl rings as an assistant coach. He also won the AP NFL Coach of the Year award in 2022 and has a CFP championship as an assistant coach with Alabama. Therefore, finding a job will not be difficult for him.
Should he fail to secure a job in the NFL, he is likely to find an opportunity in college football, given his success with Alabama in 2017. Perhaps the only negative factor general managers might consider is his 20-40-1 record as the head coach of the Giants.
