Football took Brian Daboll around the country. Now it's brought him back home.

The Bills’ new offensive coordinator, Daboll grew up in West Seneca, graduated from St. Francis High School and played his college ball at the University of Rochester. So it's with great pride he returns to coach in Western New York, where he's kept a home even while his work took him elsewhere.

“[It’s the] City of Good Neighbors for a reason. Great food, as you can tell. But I love the place, I love the community, I love the people, I love the fans, I love the team. Very special place for me,” said Daboll.

Daboll brings with him five Super Bowl rings as an assistant with the Patriots, and a college national championship just this month as Alabama's play caller.

“He's been around winning both at the NFL level and the college level. When you look at his history, he's known as a quality teacher, a bright offensive mind,” said Bills head coach Sean McDermott.

“Those were different teams and different places. You write your own story at a new place. Can you lean on those experiences? Sure, but at the end of the day it's how you perform with the team you're at,” said Daboll.

Daboll inherits a Bills offense that ranked near the bottom of the league in total yards, passing yards and points per game last season. He'll need to use all he's learned across his championship coaching career to get more production out of that unit.

“He wasn't afraid to adjust protections, adjust line calls, whatever it was to throw in new things,” said Bradley Bozeman, Alabama center.

“You have a variety of schemes you can use. Every offense does. Week to week, it should be different based on who you're playing and what you have. But your ultimate goal is to score as many points as you can and that's the job of an offense,” said Daboll.

A job well done would make his homecoming even sweeter.
