The Philadelphia Eagles are interviewing former New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll for their open offensive coordinator position, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. Daboll was let go as Giants headman during the regular season.

There are some connections to Daboll in Philadelphia as well. Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni coached alongside Daboll with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2012. Daboll was also Jalen Hurts offensive coordinator at Alabama during the 2017 season.

Later on in his career, his early work with the  Buffalo Bills , particularly in  Josh Allen’s  development, helped launch him into the Giants job. In Year 1, he won AP NFL Coach of the Year and leading the team to the playoffs.

Unfortunately, the three seasons that followed were disastrous. The Giants went 11–35 across that span, and Daboll’s tenure effectively collapsed under a myriad of factors. New York finally cut ties, and that’s left him free for the first time in quite awhile.

He was fired after a 2-8 start to the season. This came after Daboll attempted to make the switch under center from Russell Wilson to Jaxson Dart. Still, the Giants did not see much improvement after Daboll was let go.
