Titans Appoint Former Giants Coach Brian Daboll as Offensive Coordinator
The Tennessee Titans have made a pivotal decision for their offensive strategy by appointing Brian Daboll as their new offensive coordinator. This decision comes after Robert Saleh was named the new head coach, aiming to elevate the performance of quarterback Cam Ward in his second year.
Titans Hire Brian Daboll as Offensive Coordinator
Brian Daboll, 50, formerly coached the New York Giants and was recently dismissed after a disappointing 2-8 start this season. During his tenure, Daboll accumulated a 20-40-1 record over four seasons. His experience includes successfully developing quarterbacks like Josh Allen in Buffalo and Jaxson Dart during his time with the Giants.
Background on Brian Daboll
- Daboll coached the Giants for four seasons before being fired on November 10.
- He was a candidate for the Buffalo Bills’ head coaching position, which ultimately went to Joe Brady.
- He has previous experience with young quarterbacks, focusing on skill development.
Quarterback Cam Ward’s Performance
In his rookie season, Cam Ward, the No. 1 overall draft pick, threw for 3,169 yards, completing 15 touchdown passes and throwing seven interceptions. He faced challenges, as he was sacked 55 times, tying for the highest number of sacks allowed in the NFL. The Titans’ offense struggled, ranking 30th in scoring and 31st in total yards.
Future Outlook
The Titans are in a strong financial position, projected to have $93.5 million in salary cap space. This gives them flexibility to make significant roster changes as they aim to improve their scoring capabilities and overall performance.
Daboll’s hiring signals a commitment to nurturing Ward’s talent, with an eye on a more competitive season ahead. The Titans are looking to reshape their offense and make a strong comeback in the upcoming NFL season.
