Chiefs Hire Daboll As New Offensive Coordinator
KANSAS CITY, MO. (Shane Patton, Missouri Sports Magazine) – According to several sources, the Kansas City Chiefs have hired former Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator Brian Daboll.
As we reported yesterday,
Daboll began his NFL coaching career with the New England Patriots, where he met and worked with current Chiefs GM Scott Pioli.
No word yet as to the status of quarterback coach Jim Zorn. Zorn had reportedly made it known that he would leave the Chiefs if he was not promoted to offensive coordinator after interviewing for the then open position.
Side Note:
Daball was in New England in 2005 when the Patriots drafted Matt Cassel out of USC – could bode well for Cassel’s chances at another season like he had in 2010 (Pro Bowl, Playoffs).
