If things had broken a little differently atop the 2018 NFL Draft, Brian Daboll might have been coaching Sam Darnold.
Would Darnold have had anywhere close to the success that Josh Allen has enjoyed in his six seasons under the stability of the Bills, likewise allowing Daboll to elevate from his offensive coordinator to head coach of the Giants?
Daboll and Giants general manager Joe Schoen — Buffalo’s assistant general manager at the time — “spent a lot of time” with Darnold in workouts, meetings and private dinners during that 2018 offseason. One of the quarterbacks the Giants declined to draft went to the Vikings, but rookie J.J. McCarthy suffered a season-ending injury in August.
“There’s a lot that goes into this position. It’s not an easy position to play or coach. Again, each player is different. I was around a few of them here the last few years that have stuck and that have played good football.”
