Giants set to interview Bills OC Brian Daboll on Tuesday

 Buffalo Bills Offensive Coordinator Brian Daboll is getting a second interview with the Giants on Tuesday, and it will be in person. This comes as the Giants are also set to interview former Falcons Head Coach and current Cowboys Defensive Coordinator Dan Quinn for the head coaching job.

Daboll is the first coaching candidate the Giants have interviewed who is getting a second interview. He interviewed via zoom on Friday. Typically second interviews in person are a good indicator that a team is closing in on “their guy” for head coach.


General Manager Joe Schoen is well versed in Daboll’s coaching ability and personality, having worked with him in Buffalo the past four years when Daboll was the O.C. and Schoen was Assistant GM. Daboll has perceived to be the favorite for the job for some time.

 The Giants have also interviewed Bills Defensive Coordinator Leslie Fraizer, Cincinnati Bengals Defensive Coordinator Lou Anarumo, and Quinn. Former Dolphins Head Coach Brian Flores has not been interviewed formally as of yet, but was once believed to be a candidate.

Daboll’s Buffalo Bills lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in the Divisional Playoffs 42-36 in overtime on Sunday night. Quarterback Josh Allen, whom many credit Daboll for turning into an All-Pro at the position, lit it up, throwing for 329 yards and four touchdowns. 

 The Bills were ranked fifth in the NFL in total offense this year behind only the LA Chargers, Chiefs, Dallas Cowboys, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Buffalo was also ranked third in scoring offense in the NFL at 28.2 points per game. Only the Cowboys and Bucs were better.

Should the Giants go the route of Brian Daboll, he will be tasked with fixing an Giants offense that was ranked 31st in the league in both scoring offense (15.2 points per game) and total yards per game (287.3 ypg).

  Before joining the Bills in 2018, Daboll spent parts of 11 years with the New England Patriots as an assistant on both sides of the ball. He was the Offensive Coordinator for the Browns, Dolphins and Chiefs during a four year period from 2009-12. He was also the Jets quarterbacks coach under Head Coach Eric Mangini from 2007-08. Daboll was also the offensive coordinator on Alabama’s National Championship winning team in 2017.

Jets, Dolphins and Patriots Playoff Breakdown

Here are the formuli that could get the Jets into and out of the playoff party this season: 1) If the Jets win against Seattle and Miami, they win the AFC East based on a better conference record (8-4) than the New England Patriots, even if New England wins out as well. 2) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins win out and finish at 11-5, the Jets would be 10-6, or 9-7, and probably out of the playoffs. Both New England and Miami would make the playoffs, with the Dolphins as a divison winner and the Patriots as a wild card. The Patriots make the postseason if Baltimore loses one of its final two games. 3) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins and Jets split, then the Patriots win the AFC East. The Jets will have to hope that they beat Miami to win that tie-breaker and, further, hope that they have a better conference record than the Baltimore Ravens in order to clinch the sixth seed. 4) If the Patriots and Ravens win out and the Dolphins and Jets split their final two games, then ...

Francisco Lindor Remains Red Hot as Mets Top Phillies

 Francisco Lindor remains the hottest player in Queens right now.  The Mets shortstop blasted two more home runs, including a three-run blast in the bottom of the eighth inning, Monday night to help propel the Mets to a 5-4 win over Philadelphia.   Lindor who typically struggles in the month of April is putting together a heck of a month. Monday's two hit effort was the 10th game in the last 11 where Lindor has recorded a hit. In fact in the month of April alone this year, Lindor was hitting at .311 coming into Monday's action.  On the year, Lindor is batting .284 with five homers and 13 RBI.  Lindor's efforts proved to be prophetic, as the Phillies Alec Bohm crushed a three-run bomb off Edwin Diaz in the top of the ninth to cut the Mets lead to a single run. Fortunately for New York, Diaz was able to shut the door with strikeouts of Trea Turner and Bryce Harper.  New York (16-7) has now won five in a row.

Is Aaron Glenn in Danger of Getting Fired?

 According to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio there is a "chance"   that Jets head coach Aaron Glenn could be fired at seasons end.  While Florio doesn't site any sources, the rumor has caught fire the last two days. The question is would it make sense? Let's examine this for a second?  Why it Makes Sense:  Glenn has not been great in his first year as Head Coach of this team. The talent has taken a major step backwards, granted two of those talented players were traded away in Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis and Quinnen Williams to Dallas.  The decision he and GM Darren Mougey made to give Justin Fields a two year deal proved to be a horrible mistake, and Glenn stuck with Fields for far too long before pulling the plug following the Jets loss to the Patriots on a Thursday night in mid November.  Glenn gave now former Defensive Coordinator Steve Wilks too much power to run the defense, and the players couldn't stand Wilks. Reports indicated this week af...
