Brian Daboll worked with the second quarterback drafted in 2025 before being fired as the Giants\u2019 head coach and he\u2019ll get a chance to work with the first one in his new job. <\/p>\n
Daboll was hired as the Titans\u2019 offensive coordinator after they tabbed Robert Saleh as their new head coach and the former MetLife Stadium denizens will be coaching a team that has 2025 first overall pick Cam Ward running the offense. Ward\u2019s rookie season was upset when head coach Brian Callahan was fired, but he found his footing in the final weeks of the season and turned in his most consistent run of success to close out the year. <\/p>\n
At a Wednesday press conference in Nashville, Daboll said Ward\u2019s presence was a \u201cbig factor\u201d in his decision to accept the Titans\u2019 offer. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s a young, athletic quarterback who has accuracy,\u201d Daboll said, via the team\u2019s website. \u201cHe can make plays on the move, and do a great job when if the play doesn\u2019t look great, all of a sudden it looks great because of his ability. He\u2019s smart, and I look forward to working with him, and building this thing together, along with the other pieces we have in play, and the pieces we\u2019ll go get. . . . I think [Cam] can do a lot of things, but he\u2019s going to have to put the work in, which I know he will. And, we\u2019ll do stuff that he\u2019s comfortable with.\u201d<\/p>\n
Daboll got some head coaching interviews during last month\u2019s searches and pushing Ward to a higher level in 2026 would be a good selling point if he wants to move back into a top job in the near future. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brian Daboll worked with the second quarterback drafted in 2025 before being fired as the Giants\u2019 head coach…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":483881,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[49,48,514,82],"class_list":["post-483880","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483880","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=483880"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483880\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/483881"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=483880"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=483880"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=483880"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
