Daboll or Flores? Who do you want?

Eric from BBI : Admin : 1/22/2022 10:06 am
Dan Quinn appears to be the most in demand around the NFL, but everyone is tying Daboll or Flores to the Giants.

What does your gut say?

There are several accomplished DC’s available. (Fangio, Martinadale, Zimmer, etc). So the Giants can say end up with Daboll/Martindale.

Less so the other way around. Not many accomplished OC’s available. So if you hire Quinn, who does he make OC. Likely some QB coach who gets promoted. Much greater risk there.

So in that regard i lean Daboll.

I like what Flores did with Miami and I often thought Miami had less than the Giants.

Daboll, for now.

Mike from Ohio : 1/22/2022 10:11 am : link
He feels like a guy who could be here a long time and be a constant for this team.

Ideally I would like an offensive guy for HC, but I just get a sense that Flores is the guy with the brighter future.

That’s makes zero sense to me. Flores overachieved with a poor roster, and somehow Judge underachieved with one. Saying they are the same person because they both worked for the Patriots is just plain silly and lazy.

I think it’s Flores  
DonnieD89 : 1/22/2022 10:16 am : link
Flores has head coach experience as apposed to Daboll. I think the logical thing is to not pair a first time GM with a first time HC. Flores would need to hit a home run with the new OC. I also think they should keep Patrick Graham., who has worked with Flores. At least there would be some cohesion on one side of the ball.

GiantsFan84 : 1/22/2022 10:17 am : link
does everyone forget that he cost his team a playoff birth with that whole benching fitz for tua?

and what did that really accomplish?
Daboll  
Keaton028 : 1/22/2022 10:17 am : link
Remember Schoen wants to be lockstep with his HC. I think this points to Daboll. Also, the Giants offense needs a hard reset and revamp. Daboll makes the most sense in that respect as well.
Flores- at the end of the day he's coached 2 winning seasons in a row  
Eric on Li : 1/22/2022 10:19 am : link
and in year 1 he overachieved too. that Dolphin team he inherited was crap, they let Tannehill walk and they traded their 2 best young players in what everyone thought was a tank. They started 0-7 but won 5 of the last 9, ending the regular season by beating Tom Brady in his last regular season game as a Pat.

there are very legitimate questions about what he needs to find in an offensive coordinator, as he himself seems to know based on how many offensive coordinators he's fired. but despite that and mediocre QB play the man has won 19 games the last 2 years which is more than this org has won in any 2 consecutive years since '10-'11 (albeit with the 1 extra game, but even if that total was 18 wins it would still match the best 2 year performance of this org since '11-'12).
i vote daboll  
GiantsFan84 : 1/22/2022 10:19 am : link
it's much easier to replace the d-coordinator than the offensive playcaller. and if daboll signs on and takes the play-calling responsibilities you're at least guaranteeing continuity there with whoever the QB is. no learning a new system every couple of years. because once you have a good OC it's 1-2 years before they leave and become a head coach.
Flores #1 ... Quinn #2 ... Daboll #3.  
Spider56 : 1/22/2022 10:19 am : link
We already have a 1st time GM who will be on a learning curve ... and our last 3 coaches were 1st timers who struggled with the broader responsibilities. Both Flores and Quinn are local guys who know NY and have been there before; both will be better the 2nd time around. They kind of remind me of Bill Parcells. And, you can undersell what Flores did with a turd in Miami.

Daboll is an upstate guy ...which makes him tough but not necessarily NY savvy. His biggest attribute to me though is that he was twice hired by both Saban and BB which means they both liked him a lot ... but then again they liked JJ too. I think Daboll ends up back in Miami withTua. Hi

I think Flores Will butt heads if he doesn't get his way
After watching that video you posted Eric  
shocktheworld : 1/22/2022 10:22 am : link
I am firmly in the Flores camp. Seeing his story and how he grew up… how can you not root for that man to be the next coach of the NYG?

Obviously he is a great candidate based on his resume, but being from Brownsville Brooklyn and coming home to lead the Giants? Gives me chills… I think he can be an excellent coach and this job will mean more to him than any other team ever could.

Let’s get him hired and bring in a top OC… the pieces will start falling together… these are exciting times regardless… :]
I just don't understand why people would invite the dysfunction  
KerrysFlask : 1/22/2022 10:23 am : link
That happened in Miami towards the end into our building.

And then going after Daboll... His scoring offense stunk before bringing in Allen. And we aren't hiring him for OC, head coach is a totally different bag....

I'd love to be proven wrong, but I just can't get excited about either of these guys.

 
ryanmkeane : 1/22/2022 10:25 am : link
I want Flores. Ever since he was let go in Miami I thought he’d be the best overall choice.

However - with Daboll being an offensive guy and looking at what the Bills are doing week after week - you really can’t argue with that.
Harbaugh  
Archer : 1/22/2022 10:26 am : link
Harbaugh is my first choice then Flores

I doubt that Harbaugh will be under consideration for a variety of reasons. But he did some amazing things while at SF. He is recognized for the development of QBs.

If it is Flores his choice of a OC is critical who do you think he could hire as OC ?
Not terribly impressed with this list of candidates.  
Festina Lente : 1/22/2022 10:28 am : link
Dam quinn: God no. I would be so unhappy.

Flores worries me greatly. All the booze about his personality etc and i think he may be slightly overhyped on here.

Dabol: one wonders how much his offensive success is down to the unique game of the QB. I don't see them as a particularly creative offense compared to some other candidates. If anything, i have been more impressed with the defense of the Bills.
Seems like Daboll  
GiantsRage2007 : 1/22/2022 10:29 am : link
Is Schoen’s guy.

Flores intrigues me seeing he’s won in the league already as HC. But the rumors of him and then Bill O’Brien as OC is just too much NE all over again.

Flores  
Sammo85 : 1/22/2022 10:30 am : link
I don’t see a HC in Daboll. Flores needs to learn some lessons from Miami but I see more grand vision, leadership, communication from him. OC for him is key.

Daboll has a lot of ugly on his resume and moved around a ton (some of that good to learn, but instability) before Josh Allen.
I Hope it's Flores  
Jim in Tampa : 1/22/2022 10:33 am : link
Giants have hired 3 straight HCs who either had no HC experience (McAdoo and Judge) or no HC success (Shurmur .281 winning percentage with 2 teams).

It's time for the Giants to hire a HC who has had some success as an NFL HC.

But if you're asking who I THINK they'll hire, my gut says that Schoen goes with the person he's most familar with... Daboll.

Flores seems like a headcase, alienated management by not communicating. ​The Dolphins other than beating the Pats twice, lost to every playoff team they faced. Almost lost to the Jets, lost to the Jaguars. Their 7 game win streak was mostly against the dregs of the league.

Agreed. I think there is an element of group think here. I really would lie to see them interview Pederson. I think he had shown that he is a creative offensive mind and has had success with a struggling franchise.

bronxgiant : 1/22/2022 10:52 am : link
Here is not the place where production can wait. Flores to me have built a longtime losing program and made it look much improved. Coughlan Parcells and BB were parts of this environment and thrived in it.

Flores and BB are two of a few coaches that were groomed in NY and built for NY. Think what Flores did in Miami is exactly what is needed with the Giants and the area.

and in 2019 his crappy dolphin roster beat Tom Brady in his last reg season game as a Pat when they needed it for a bye week.

could the "something off" be that his Qbs just weren't that good? Not absolving him of blame if that is the case, he had a hand in choosing all of them, but is it credible to think that he should have done better than 19-14 the last 2 years with Fitz/Tua/Brissett?

I don't understand the Flores love.

He's even more conservative than Judge, has churned through OCs every year in Miami, may have alienated his young QB along the way, and there are enough rumors about him being abrasive that it has to at least be investigated.

If the goal is to hire someone who has been a HC before and you're not scared off by someone who was just fired, why isn't Nagy on the radar? Don't get me wrong - I wouldn't want Nagy either, but at least he has a winning career record as HC and has taken his team to the playoffs. I just don't see the appeal with Flores.

I want Daboll or either of the SF coordinators.

David B. : 1/22/2022 11:23 am : link
On the surface, Daboll seems to have more upsides in the areas the Giants need the most help.

It would APPEAR as if Daboll:

Is probably on the same page as the GM on day 1.
Might be very good for Jones (Allen was a project)
Could bring a creative offensive design. Perhaps he could create one here that puts up enough points to be competitive with the big boys.

Can't say any of those things for sure about Flores. But Daboll HASN'T been a HC, and Flores has. Flores did pretty well in Miami with a lousy hand. Most were surprised they fired him, given that. But there are rumblings about Flores: A) his personality. People are calling him "Joe Judge without the charm." And B) his attitude. Apparently he stopped speaking to his coaching staff in the last weeks of the season. He also didn't get on with his bosses with the whole Tua thing. Looks like he was right.


For now, I'm giving Schoen the benefit of the doubt. Either of those two, or someone else. I have no horse in this race. Just get it right.




I am ok with either  
nygiants16 : 1/22/2022 11:29 am : link

Of the two...  
bw in dc : 1/22/2022 11:31 am : link
Daboll because I think he deserves a lot of credit for polishing Allen's game. And when we get a new QB, I would hope Daboll could develop him into a legit franchise QB.

I still think we should connect with Pederson. And ask to speak with Dennis Allen and Greg Olson, who I think did a fantastic job calling plays when Gruden was fired.

As much as I would have liked to go Mike McDaniel, I think he was only possible if we hired Peters.

Agree on FLores. The mans team won 8 games in a row, and he was fired the day after win #8. And this seems to bother no one here...

I would need to know EXACTLY what went in to that decision before even thinking about hiring him as HC. Because firing a guy after an 8 game winning streak, that just screams "issues"...and thats the last thing the Giants need right now.

Flores has a problem getting along with others, or he wouldn't have been canned. I heard he wasn't even talking to his assistant coaches for the 2nd half of the year as Miami was winning all those games.

Daboll may be a product of Josh Allen, and not the other way around. Schoen may be riding on Allen's coattails too, to some extent, so if you hire Daboll, you're making the same gamble twice. Spread your bets. Hire someone else.

Stephen Ross has owned that team a dozen years and they have only four winning seasons during that time. Two of them were under Brian Flores. I’m sure the Giants will investigate thoroughly, but someone else’s dumb decision shouldn’t impede them from making a good one. Flores can coach.

Demeco Ryan is the short timer I'd roll the dice on. Collectively, the crop is not inspiring so far. My hope for Daboll would be he's able to make Jones worthy of a trade, and identify his replacement to really set that stone in place.

I guess you haven’t heard much negativity around the league about him? I want him to be my #1 choice but Flores is such an enigma to me. Some of the players loved him and seemed confused/upset when he left. Then you hear about him getting into it with Tua, supposedly wanting more power (can’t fault someone for this as long as it doesn’t get to a toxic level) and losing a bunch of coordinators/not getting along with them. I wonder how much of it comes from the Dolphins front office. Just seems like he would be somewhat of a gamble if any of the rumors are true. But he would also be a great option at HC if that stuff isn’t true.

Im on record for Flores IF these 2 things happen

1. Mara gives him the same "you gotta change your ways" speech he gave to Coughlin

2. Flores agrees to give up on wanting Watson for QB

HOWEVER, if Daboll can bring Ken Dorsey with him, you now have to two guys who turned Allen into a star (though I'll guess Buffalo will elevate Dorsey to OC to keep him)

Can see both sides - plenty of good DCs available, not as many OCs, is a plus for Daboll

Flores has been a winner already, Daboll is a complete unknown as a head coach and his offenses before Allen were not good

I think it will be Daboll because of Schoen

I'm torn between Daboll and Ryans. I love McDaniel as a football brain (almost like an Ernie Adams), but I don't know if he's a HC.

If Dolphins take Herbert over Tua, Flores is probably seen as one of the best coaches in football right now.
Daboll

This league is about scouting points in the passing game.

Hire Daboll, draft Corral, run a million first down play action passes.

If Giants wait a year and take Herbert, Judge probably still has a job.

Them's the breaks. Flores is Judge redux.
If it’s either or

I rather have Flores. Think people think too deeply into him having issues in Miami. If it were a more established and successful team I might take it more seriously or as a concern. Issues in a loosing organization? Go figure you don’t say.

Like a few have said with that dolphins team they over achieved and did a good job with what he had as far as talent. Love his story too…came from humble beginnings.

Daboll who I would support also is unknown as a head coach. Flores doesn’t have much either but still it’s something we can look at. Daboll might be a great coach in the making I’m not sure. Hard to chose but I would say my guess would be obviously Daboll and Schoen would have better chemistry and less of a learning curve between the two. I’m glad I don’t get paid to make the choice but if I had to I would take Flores…but I’m feeling about 70% sure they will go with Daboll.
Don’t really

LOVE either of them. I think you need to have an offensive minded head coach in today’s NFL b/c if/when you’re successful teams are going to be poaching your OC. By having a head coach that can control the offense, you can always find an OC/play caller who you trust to run your system. I’d go with Daboll for this reason.

rule out Josh McDaniels or Mike McDaniels. Let’s see how wide the net is.
Mcdaniels is going to stay put. BB retires and they have him step in as HC
