Brian Daboll

Offensive Coordinator

Year with Browns: 1st
Year in NFL: 12th

Brian Daboll was named the Browns’ offensive coordinator on January 14, 2009. He comes to the club with 11 years of coaching experience, including the past nine in the NFL.

Daboll started for two seasons as a safety for the University of Rochester. As a senior, he once recorded three interceptions in one game. He was born in Welland, Ontario, Canada, and attended St. Francis High School in Buffalo, N.Y., where he lettered in football.

He resides in Northeast Ohio with his wife, Beth. He has a son, Christian, and a daughter, Haven, and two stepsons, Marky and Aiden.

Coaching Background:
1997 College of William & Mary, restricted volunteer
1998-99 Michigan State University, administrative assistant/graduate assistant
2000-01 New England Patriots, defensive assistant
2002-06 New England Patriots, wide receivers coach
2007-08 New York Jets, quarterbacks coach
2009 Cleveland Browns, offensive coordinator

Prior to joining the Browns, Daboll spent the last two seasons with the New York Jets as quarterbacks coach. In 2008, Daboll played a major role in helping to acclimate Brett Favre to the Jets’ offense after Favre came out of retirement and was acquired by the team on August 7. In 2008, Favre was voted to the AFC Pro Bowl squad, as he ranked fifth in the NFL in completion percentage (65.7). Before joining the Jets, Daboll spent seven seasons on the New England Patriots’ coaching staff, where he earned three Super Bowl rings. He began his tenure in New England in 2000 as a defensive coaching assistant. After holding that position for two seasons (2000-01), he was promoted to wide receivers coach and held that title for his final five seasons (2002-06). Under his tutelage, wide receiver Deion Branch was named MVP of the Patriots’ Super Bowl XXXIX win over Philadelphia following the 2004 season, the first player to earn that honor as a wide receiver since San Francisco’s Jerry Rice in Super Bowl XXIII after the 1988 season. Prior to making the jump to the NFL, Daboll spent one year as a restricted volunteer at the College of William & Mary before serving two seasons (1998-99) as a graduate assistant at Michigan State University.
