When the New York Giants introduced Brian Daboll as their next head coach, general manager Joe Schoen said he’d prefer if Daboll did not call offensive plays.
Daboll’s offensive play calling in Buffalo is likely a big reason he got the job with New York, and the hope is certainly that he can help fix the Giants’ offensive woes.
As the Giants enter their most important scouting combine in recent memory given their two top-10 picks, Daboll spoke to the media on Tuesday and still was unsure who will be calling the plays on offense.
-Daboll said he was very impressed with OC Mike Kafka through the interview process..no decision has been made at this point with respect to who will call plays #giantschat

As much as the upcoming season will be a rebuilding year for the Giants, that doesn’t mean it isn’t still a crucial year for the development of Daniel Jones and the team’s offense.
Co-owner John Mara has already admitted how much the constant change in coaching staff has plagued the development of Jones. Whether or not Jones is the quarterback beyond 2022, the development of the offense around him is equally important.
As the Giants go into this offseason, you’d hope there would be a more definitive answer about who the offensive play caller would be since the coaching staff has been intact for a few weeks now. But that isn’t the case and we’ll all have to wait to find out with bated breath.
