After all, the Bills are a Super Bowl-ready team with a Top 5 quarterback, and the 40-year-old Dorsey doesn’t have to look far to see how being the Buffalo offensive coordinator is the springboard to a head coaching job. After all, that’s the jump Daboll just made. And it might be a lot more difficult making that leap with the Giants and quarterback Daniel Jones.
Daboll said he’s interviewed "a lot" of candidates for his offensive coordinator job already, but Dorsey is believed to be his top choice. The Giants hope Daboll will have his staff in place by the beginning of next week, so a decision can come soon.
Meanwhile, Daboll does seem to be on the verge of landing at least one former Bills assistant. Bobby Johnson, who spent the past three years as the Bills' offensive line coach, has an offer to take the same job with the Giants, a source confirmed. A deal has not been finalized, but it is expected to happen in the coming days.
Johnson’s contract with the Bills had expired, so he was free to make a lateral move to a different team.
Given how bad the Giants’ offense has been the last two years, Daboll isn’t expected to keep many of the team’s current offensive assistants on his staff. One exception could be quarterbacks coach Jerry Schuplinski, who worked with Daboll in New England from 2013-16. The Giants would like to provide Jones with as much stability and consistency as possible, which is why one team source said it was a possibility.
Giants running backs coach Burton Burns was also on Daboll’s staff when he was the offensive coordinator at the University of Alabama in 2017.
