Coach Sean McDermott announced Daboll’s hiring two days after firing Rick Dennison.

The 42-year-old Daboll was the offensive coordinator for national champion Alabama. It was the sixth time he was part of the coaching staff for a national championship team.

Prior to last season http://www.seahawksfootballauthentics.com/marquise-blair-jersey-authentic , Daboll was the tight end’s coach for the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots. He has 17 seasons of coaching experience in the NFL, including stints as the offensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns (2009-10), Miami Dolphins (2011) and Kansas City Chiefs (2012).

Daboll has previous ties to McDermott, as he was a restricted-earnings coach at William & Mary when McDermott was a senior safety in 1997. Daboll also has western New York roots, having graduated from St. Francis High School in Athol Springs, a few miles away from the Bills’ facility.

”We are excited to hire Brian as our offensive coordinator and welcome him back to western New York D.K. Metcalf Jersey ,” McDermott said in a statement posted to the team’s website. ”I know how much this area means to him. He is a good coach and a good teacher and has been part of winning programs in the NFL and in college.”

Daboll will be the Bills’ fifth offensive coordinator in six seasons.

The Bills finished 29th in offense this past season and their running attack fell to sixth after leading the league the past two seasons. Dennison’s play-calling was questioned after Buffalo scored just three points against Jacksonville in the franchise’s first playoff game in 18 years.

Daboll coordinated an Alabama offense that ranked 15th in the nation in scoring at 37.1 points per game and 13th in rushing. The Crimson Tide overcame a 10-point deficit to win the national championship game in overtime after freshman quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was inserted into the game at halftime.

As a Patriots assistant from 2000-06 and 2013-16, Daboll won five Super Bowl rings.

Worlds are colliding on Wednesday, as both the new league year begins and the league’s next big thing has his Pro Day workout on the same day.So when Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray works out for scouts and coaches on Wednesday, what will he do?It’s still not entirely clear. Peter King of suggested that Murray possibly will only throw on Wednesday, playing a 60-to-100 rep game of pitch and catch with a handful of his former Sooners teammates.Some reports have suggested that Murray will do everything at the workout, from stepping on a scale to standing for a measurement to running 40 yards in a straight line to everything else quarterbacks do at the Scouting Combine. But why should he do it all? Really http://www.seahawksfootballauthentics.com/cody-barton-jersey-authentic , why should he do any of it?Murray’s floor is No. 4, maybe No. 6. If one of the teams in the top half-dozen of the draft don’t want him, they’ll be trading the pick to someone who does. Nothing he does on Wednesday will make that better, and if he pops a hamstring or generates a slower-than-expected time in the 40, Wednesday could make that worse.One of these days, a top prospect won’t play any of these “job applicant” games Gary Jennings Jr. Jersey , opting instead to say to the league at large, “You have my film from college. Draft me, or wait for one of your competitors to.” While that would put a bee in the bonnet of the old-school football types and how-dare-you-not-entertain-us media members who’ll huff and puff, nobody will be blowing the house down of a truly elite player. Instead, they’ll still be sprinting to the podium to put in a draft card bearing his name.So if you don’t want to run, Kyler http://www.seahawksfootballauthentics.com/phil-haynes-jersey-authentic , don’t do it. And if you don’t want to do the stop-and-start drills, don’t. And if you don’t want to throw or do anything else on Wednesday, don’t. And if you don’t want to engage in any private workouts over the next month and a half, don’t.The hay is firmly in the barn and anything and everything he does from a physical standpoint from now until the draft is the equivalent of flipping lit matches into the stack, at the urging of the people who eventually will be buying the hay.
