“Who will be the offensive coordinator?”
In today’s NFL, that is always the first question asked of any defensive-minded head coach, particularly when he’s taking over a team with a promising young quarterback.

Daboll grew up in western New York, just outside of Buffalo, where he played high school football with Brian Polian – the son of longtime NFL GM Bill Polian – and Dave Caldwell, the former Jaguars GM.
