I heard from an NFL source that the Dolphins do not expect Brian Daboll to still be available when they begin their second interviews.
So this makes sense. It looks like the favorite at the start will be the favorite at the finish ...
a head coach starts somewhere so we wouldn't know if a head coach is good or not unless a team gives him the chance. Guys like McVay, Taylor, Shanahan, Lefleur, Siriani are all first time coaches and have had success so this fear fans have is just Judge paranoia to me.
Get his way? I have to feel this is a good sign for the franchise. I wanted Flores over Daboll but I can be quite happy with this. Not a "my way or all is lost" kind of guy.

Judge, McAdoo, Handley for some. I get the nervousness about a first time HC. But you can't just rule out ever hiring a first timer because the last three sucked.
Letting a fresh pair of eyes make the decision is the right move.
over a defensive guy. I'd rather an offensive head coach who calls his own plays. If we had a defensive guy as head coach and we hired some offensive guru as OC, that OC will get scooped up at the first sign of any Giants offensive success, similar to the Daboll right now. Rather keep the guy running the offense who has less chance to get scooped up by other teams. Rather have a Kyle Shanahan as a head coach then a Dan Quinn who loses Shanahan, then proceeds to see their offense decline.

Schoen kind if let a clue slip when he used the word "continuity".
While he will have growing pains, Flores will have pains with solving our offense woes. Meanwhile, Daboll already has methods in place. Don't want turnover amongst coaches like Judge or Flores did.
He and Schoen have a good working relationship, that’s one less variable to worry about. He’s the guy Schoen wanted, so unlike Gettleman and Shurmur, you can hold Schoen accountable for Dabolls performance. The offense is broken, so it makes sense to bring in an offensive guy, that’s another variable you don’t have to worry about. I think Flores is a good coach but for this team with this gm it just makes sense to pair him with his guy.
I've read around here mention of two in person interviews from candidates outside of the organization being required.
If so, was this a real interview process? Other than Patrick Graham, we did not interview anyone aside from Daboll and the two required minority candidates in Frazier and Flores...

The Giants have indeed offered their head coaching job to Bills OC Brian Daboll, according to a source. As @RapSheet said, they're working on a deal. Could be finalized soon. But he's their guy.
For years to have a GM and HC that are on the same timeline, coordinated and working together. Well, we go it!
Lets just hope BBI was right this whole time.
I think the benefit of this is the floor not the ceiling. If it isn’t working out it makes things easier to hold both accountable at the same time so you don’t make the same mistake you did with Gettleman/Judge.

There was never much doubt about this from the start. Even though John Mara didn't want a "package deal" everyone knew that new Giants GM Joe Schoen wanted Brian Daboll as his coach.
And Daboll wanted the Giants. He had interest in Miami, but preferred New York, per a source.

Confirmed: The Giants will hire Brian Daboll as their new head coach.
They spoke of "collaboration'' and new GM said he and the new coach must be in "lockstep.''
Daboll is that guy.
Will be interesting to see how his staff rounds out

I feel bad for the guys who got phony interviews. But the GM does deserve to pick his guy and go down swinging with his people (unlike the Garrett fiasco).

According to reports, this is true. And if true, the right move. Good shit, John

I’m really hoping he can land Dorsey and one of Wink, Fangio or Zimmer.
We’ve learned a couple times now how critical it is to get your staff right, specifically the coordinators.
Good luck Daboll! Hoping you’re here 10 years from now.

Giants hiring former Bills’ OC Brian Daboll as their next head coach, per sources.
Schoen kind if let a clue slip when he used the word "continuity".
“Candidates are being informed that Brian Daboll is the Giants' next head coach, sources confirm, as @RapSheet reported.
An 11th-hour turn. Some in Giants brass, and many others, believed early in week it was Daboll & Dolphins.
Brian Flores had a chance, but it's Daboll to NYG”

Wink for DC

He's a clown, he's the only one to report he was close to going to Miami, now he's trying to walk back his tweet from yesterday.

Pat Leonard is the NYG (of the moment) of journalism

Parcells and Coughlin are Giants only two successful coaches of the last 50 years and both had HC experience
So what do Giants do? Hire another career assistant like Judge, Shurmer,, and McAdoo
