bv. Right After Being Fired by the Giants, Former Patriots Offensive Coordinator Brian Daboll Unexpectedly Appears at Gillette Stadium and Sparks Rumors of “a Historic Reunion” with Robert Kraft
FOXBOROUGH, Massachusetts – November 2025
The New England Patriots may be preparing for the boldest move since the Bill Belichick era. On Tuesday night, Brian Daboll, former head coach of the New York Giants, owner of 5 Super Bowl titles and once offensive coordinator under Belichick, was caught leaving Gillette Stadium after a lengthy private meeting with chairman Robert Kraft and Head Coach Mike Vrabel. That image quickly caused the Patriots fan community to explode with speculations about a “fateful return.”
According to ESPN sources, the Patriots are seriously considering bringing Daboll back in the role of “Special Tactical Assistant,” focusing on developing rookie quarterback Drake Maye. This move could recreate the “Buffalo miracle” – when Daboll once helped Josh Allen turn from a raw talent into an NFL top star, famous for creativity and accurate game reading.
When asked by reporters outside the stadium, Daboll only smiled and said: “There are places that make you feel like coming home.” He added, “New England taught me how to win. If today I can help others learn that, then that is the best way to pay tribute to the place that made me.”
Right after that, Robert Kraft was asked about this meeting and he made fans even more excited with a comment full of respect: “Brian has always been one of the most special football minds I have ever met,” Kraft said, his voice calm but containing emotion. “He is not just good at tactics – he has the ability to touch the hearts of players, helping them become better every day. In New England, we always value people like that.”
That statement was enough to cause Patriots Nation to surge. Social media was flooded with the hashtag #BringBackDaboll, with many fans believing that the combination of Mike Vrabel – Drake Maye – and Brian Daboll could open a new chapter in the post-Belichick era. And if that becomes reality, Foxborough may soon witness a “homecoming” journey marked with strong destiny.
