Howie was sniffing around for the last couple of weeks I bet......Howie didn't even address the Patullo firing yesterday, he made Nick do it, and it's very rare Nick addresses situations like that without Howie........that possibly shows the frustration in this FO with Patullo....Howie is going to "try" and get his guy.

I have zero interest in Kingsbury...but I can't see him getting a HC gig so he will likely be an OC again. Just hope it's not here.

At this point, my preferences are Monken, Daboll, McDaniel and Stefanski. But any or all of them will likely get serious HC consideration since there are NINE friggin teams looking for HC's.

I think Monken is at the top of my list because I think he'd be the best fit for Hurts

If we're thinking long term after Hurts then that choice is different

I mentioned Monken in the Frank Reich thread (in the IWTETG forum) a couple days ago. He seems to fit that description of an offensive mind with plenty of playcalling experience and is a tad older and may not generate interest in a HC spot ... at least not immediately so potentially could be here for a few years.

Of those names I would have the most interest in Stefanski but I think he likely gets a HC gig or will be another one of those 1-and-done playcallers here if we were to hire him and we'd be right back here again in a year (which would suck!).

We need an OC that WILL be here multiple seasons. Who much with that factor into our choice? Also, given the offensive turmoil, with Nick, Hurts, Aj and what not are we a favorable destination for coach to want to come to?

Also not interested in Kingsbury. Did he resign in Wash to look for a HC job or was he canned? He seems like a self promoter. Stefanski will get a HC job somewhere. Monken is a more realistic possibility. I assume they want a guy that has called plays but if they want a seemingly bright young mind maybe Kubiak in SF. He is technically the OC but everybody knows Shanahan runs that O 100% so Kubiak may be willing to leave to be a play caller. After Patullo I don't think the Eagles go that route.

Doesn't matter who the OC is if we don't fix the OLine and QB.

Kingsbury was fired by Quinn. His resume just doesn't impress me. Monken would be great, but he's interviewing with the Bucs today so we may never really get a shot with him...if he'd even have interest in us.

That's the other thing....who will want this job? Our opening is both enticing (talented roster and good stepping stone to HC gig) and not enticing (have to work with Sirianni and Hurts isn't exactly a gifted passer).

Initially I was interested in Kingsbury. I've changed course. I'm intrigued by Monken.

I'd like to think that whoever they hire is given full autonomy to run the offense however they want (in much the same way they did with Fangio with the defense). Don't have any interest in bringing in someone who will be expected to run the same flawed scheme here. Someone to bring in fresh ideas and who can maximize the talent he has at his disposal. I swear we have so much talent on offense ... Sirianni and Patullo got far less from that amount of talent than anyone I have ever seen. As we watched Patullo continuously ish the bed all season with the offense completely disappearing for entire halves Sirianni was not able to help get it on track ... ever. Even when it was reported he was stepping in nothing changed ... same boring arse predictable scheme. That's part of the reason I have a bit of dislike that grew toward Sirianni this year.

Personally Im just happy Patullo is gone

I fully agree! We just don't know how outsiders would view it...Sirianni is stubborn to a fault with his philosophy and beliefs, can he "let go" and give the new OC full autonomy for a full season? As in, not be ready to interfere at the first sign of an offensive struggle while everything is still being sorted out?

The one thing working against us is going to be the sheer amount of job openings this year. Top OC's are in contention for HC gigs. And if a good OC doesn't land a HC job, would they prefer to go be an OC for a defensive minded HC vs. working under Sirianni? Would love to know how this position is viewed from candidates.

I have to believe (or maybe it is just being super hopeful) that in the meeting Sirianni had with Howie and Lurie after the 9ers game, they either gave him the ultimatum to fire Patullo or told him he must hire someone with demonstrated success at calling an offense at this level (if Sirianni already made the decision on his own to remove Patullo as OC) and further, they told Nick he must allow the new OC to run their offense ... not his. Fingers crossed!

Who's Offense will get run though? Nick's? The new OC's? Or maybe one that suites Jalen and the talent on the Offense??

It's a tough decision. If they get it right, we could be back in the Super Bowl next season. Get it wrong? Ugh. 10-7 season coming up.

🧐🧐🧐

McDaniel would be my favorite, but he'll be a HC again in one year. I prefer continuity. Same with Stefanski, he might even be hired as HC in the upcoming weeks.

Monken has done wonders with Lamar and that offense has been consistently good when he's healthy. He'd be my choice, although I'm not 100% sure he wouldn't get a head coaching gig too.

Reich is my second option, but I do wonder how it would work with Sirianni considering they'd be flipping roles.

I mean the only two decent OCs we have had have done just fine with Siriani and Hurts and both got head coaching jobs the year after, so I would say it’s a pretty attractive role. Hopefully Monken sees he is a better fit here than when the Bucs.

He would be a great choice.

Because Daboll is a hot headed **** loser.

You can leave this thread now.

More the stupid thing than the fat thing. Let's look at Daboll's coaching record:

New England (2000-06) - defensive asst and WR coach. Very successful franchise under Belichick, Daboll had a minor coaching role. That Belichick pedigree got him lots of jobs.

New York Jets (2007-08) - QB coach. Team went 9-23 as Pennington, Clemens and Favre all were mediocre under his tutelage, and he was fired by new coach Rex Ryan.

Cleveland (2009-10) - OC. Team went 5-11 and 5-11, ranked 32nd and 29th on offense.

Miami (2011) - OC. Team went 6-10, ranked 22nd on offense.

Kansas City (2012) - OC. Team went 2-14, ranked 24th on offense. Fired by newly hired Andy Reid.

New England (2013-16) - TE coach. Back under Belichick, still highly successful ... again Daboll had a minor coaching role, coaching Gronk, who was All-Pro before Daboll got there.

Alabama (2017) - OC. Rode Saban's coattails to national championship.

Buffalo Bills (2018-21) - OC. Rode Josh Allen's coattails to very good results, but never reached a Super Bowl.

New York Giants (2022-25) - Head coach. Won 9 games, then 6, then 3, then 2 before getting fired.

Only one player drafted during Daboll's tenure or the year prior made a Pro Bowl (Malik Nabers - 2024) during his tenure. Meanwhile, several players let go under his tenure found success elsewhere. E.g.,

  • Saquon Barkley - averaged 4.4 and 3.9 yards per carry under Daboll in 2023 and 2024, made All-Pro in 2025 with 5.8 yards per carry and most rushing yardage ever in a full season including playoffs,

  • Daniel Jones - 12-19 under Daboll, 8-5 at Indy in 2025,

  • Julian Love - let go after 2022 and made the Pro Bowl in 2023,

  • Xavier McKinney - let go after 2023 and named All-Pro in 2024.

Watching the Giants during his tenure, they looked continually under-prepared, and with bad game plans and bad game decisions. And he certainly did not pass my "don't look dopey on the sidelines" eye test.

So to sum up, the only real success he has had has been under Belichick or Saban, or because of seminal and/or already developed players (Gronk, Josh Allen). Everywhere else he has been a miserable failure.

Thank you for posting this.

Daboll has lost everywhere he's been.

If it wasn't for Josh Allen, he would probably be coaching high school football somewhere.

He gets credit for developing Josh Allen, yet no one seems to care that Daniel Jones looked like a viable QB as soon as he got out of Daboll's clutches. How could he develop one guy, but completely tank another?

Daboll is not the guy you want. When you look at his numbers, nothing adds up to anything good.
